no, not that I know at least. Have you applied online? Is it linked to your mycic account? If yes, maybe you can withdraw it from there...
Try calling early.... After a few time, sometimes you get lucky and get on hold for 30-35 minutes, but you can finally talk to someone.
Thanks for your response sylvain1, My OWP renewal is paper based , I have tried calling CIC multiple times but no response. Only coming up with auto response messages. Which option should I select to get an operator ? I have tried multiple options but only automated messages, unable to get hold of operator.

Congratulations! Expect some more waiting though... At least, here is our timeline:
DM letter: March 21st 2017
Montreal office landing appointment letter: May 12th, 2017
Landing interview: May 26th 2017
So you can expect about 2 months of waiting before getting any news from Montreal office.
Received an email today that I'm landing July 11th! Seems like the Montreal office has caught up a bit because that makes it just under 5 weeks between DM and Landing.

Landed in Montreal today! Was a lot of people waiting when I arrived but they called my name right on time. 568 days from start to finish for me. Just need to wait for my PR card now that's all.

Congratulations! How much time did they tell you for the PR card? When we landed, we were told 6-8 weeks. Now CIC post 65 days on their website, not including the mailing time. And I saw people in other threads reporting to receive the PR card after 9-10 weeks.

Thank you! I was told 6-8 weeks but it will most likely take longer because they were not happy about the photos I got from Jean Coutu (who clearly states on their website that they know all there is about passport/PR card photos etc.). The immigration agent said she I will probably have to provide new photos later on during the processing of my card. That was quite a bummer but I have no plans of flying out of Canada for a while.

Hello!
On July 19 I received a letter that my dossier was transferred to the immigration center MONTREAL to make a decision, and we received SA and AIP last March. Anyone with similar experience to share? How long does it take to give you an interview? I'm dying of nerves! August 2015 applicant.

I received the letter on June 7th and landed in Montreal July 11th so just over a month's waiting time for me.

I received AIP in December last year. Still waiting for the next step. March 2015 applicant. Called Cic. They said everything is complete except for security clearance which apparently is outsourced to CBSA or CSIS.

omg, 29 months of process and still can not finish your dossier ?? same case for me, things to check with cbsa.
Have you tried contacting your local deputy, or calling cbsa ?? the call center that says after having spent 26 months?

Tried contacting the local MP. He says wait for another few months. CBSA says they can only reply to IRCC and cannot provide any information. IRcc told me to contact them in second week of sept. All I can do is wait.
