Don't worry about it. They will book your landing within 8 weeks of receipt of that notice (usually 4 for London). You can't have any "Permits" or "Visas" after you land -- a PR doesn't need them. So, it's just a needless waste. They probably wouldn't even approve them.

You can land without status. So, even if the permit expires, it will all be fine :).

Congrats, btw!
that's a relief! I was worried about landing after the 10th of Jan. The London office has been receiving many refugee cases as well so I was planning for a delay in our interview and wanted to double check about landing without status, even though his passport is renewed and ready to go. Thank you @profiler !

Yeah at this point they likely won't issue any permits. So it would likely just be a waste. Make sure the new PP bio page has been sent to CIC, and if not, do it via IRCC web form (and call them to advise it's been updated). They issue the landing document on the PPN...so this is a key step.

Otherwise, I would just relax, have a good Christmas and New Year, and let it all happen :).

lol Hi ya OLD friend, and your right I just got OLDER back on the 11th,, BUT the trick is I stopped having birthdays many years ago ROFL... Are you and your other half done yet??? I know yall been at this a long time...

I think that's what I just looked at,, and Its on the wife's side,, mine side says basically the exact same thing... REMEMBER I have that SO CALLED Lawyer so we don't get anything mailed to us and she is worthless to get info from... anyway this is what ECAS SHOWS
it shows this
  1. We received your application to sponsor "my name" on March 3, 2017.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on March 18, 2017.
  3. We started processing your application on March 17, 2017.
Then it also says this

On-Line Services
Permanent Residence
  1. We received "MY NAME" application for permanent residence on March 3, 2017.
  2. Medical results have been received.
AND THATS IT not much info lol

Hey so you haven't received anything accept medical? I applied in June 2016 and i see the excat thing what you see.

Thanks

Hi everyone, I am back once again! I have great news :) ecas changed to decision made on both sides on October 30th and my husband (the applicant) received his decision made letter via email on Nov. 16th and said that the London office will contact us for finalizing the application. My question is, my husband is on an OWP right now which expires Jan. 10, 2018. Are we supposed to extend it now, apply again, or what do we do? Can he land with an expired work permit? We have not heard from them about an interview date yet (it has been 4 weeks since DM) and if we were to apply for an extension to his OWP, I guess we MUST do it now. I am so lost :(
any ideas?
Congrats on your DM! and I agree with what @profiler already told you!

Just go here: https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do
Than if you have the UCI of the sponsor, use it. Otherwise, you must already have the application number. Then family name of your husband, date of birth of your husband and his place of birth. By logging in as the sponsor, you will see both sides.

Congratulations! I don't want to lower your joy, but the landing is likely still 8-9 weeks away (apparently the current timeline from DM to landing in Etobicoke office). However, you can certainly celebrate, the end of your journey is coming soon!

Congratulations! That means it's done. The decision is made already and you are waiting for a landing invitation. An official DM letter should be sent to your wife, but a lot of people don't receive the letter or receive it with a lot of delay. Anyway, depending on your location, you can expect your wife to receive the landing invitation in 2-9 weeks from the day you saw decision made on ECAS.

Stable or not, it won't matter. For Family Class sponsorships, there is no demand problem. Really they are looking for: TB (chest x-ray), HIV (which they still permit, but I think there is a special clause), Syphilis (which the doc finds via blood test, and starts treating immediately), etc. Stroke, heart, etc; no issue.

I am glad to hear he is recovering! My dad had a stroke as a result of a special syndrome (who's name escapes me). The clot is lodged within his brainstem. My mom is an RPN with decades of time working with stroke victims. She was on him immediately to start relearning. So, present day, the risk of stroke or issue from the previous event is near zero. He has regained everything. Mentally, he gets overwhelmed by crowds and traffic. Otherwise, nothing lasting.

So, really, don't worry at all. You're still on the right timeline, and the medical won't be a big deal. Promise :)
I guess I must have worried too much as I ended up with strep throat. Great fun! Not..:( It's reassuring to hear that Gabe's stroke won't be much of an issue. So sorry to hear that your dad went through this as well. How old was ?
I just wish I would be able to link my paper application. Whenever I try doing so, it tells me that my application does not exist. It certainly does, as it is on ECAS. i would love to see the details but, alas no matter what I do, it is not working..There must be some misinformation somewhere.... grrrr. They made a mistake themselves stating that his country of birth is the USA, which it isn't , Suffice to day I entered it the proper way.. I tried everything. Beyond frustrating...:)
I will just sit back and enjoy the Christmas season and also renew his visitor's visa..
Thank you so much for all your advice.
