Update: I just received my Permanent Resident card! So, October 2013-August 24, 2015. What a long road!!!!! Good luck to everyone!

I landed in the Ottawa CIC office yesterday! What a relief. Here's a little info, in case anyone else is landing in Ottawa, I know I was curious. You walk in and a guard looks at your appointment papers, so bring those. He then takes you in a room with about 50 chairs, a bathroom, and a water...

Going to my landing interview today! I am so nervous and excited for this to be over. You all are the only ones who understand!

I just received the CIC email for my final landing interview!! It will be May 19th in Ottawa (it took a little over 2 weeks from DM)! I am so very happy. One question, both of my kids are Canadian citizens (we have their certificates), do they need to join us at the interview?

Just got off the phone with my MP (Ottawa) and they have been periodically contacting CIC for me. They are usually well behind what I already know, but this time they told me that the wait time the landing interview at the Ottawa CIC is 90 days. So bummed.

I took your advice and paid mine last week too! Hopefully it will come soon.

Congrats! It seems like we've been close to the same schedule, I hope I get mine soon! Did it come through email?

Is there any benefit to paying it early?

Would there be any benefit to paying it before they request it? Does it speed anything up?

Congratulations!! Thanks for posting your update! I just received the DM email yesterday, and now I'm waiting for the Ottawa office to contact me for the landing appointment. Did you get the feeling that they were still on that 7 week timeline? Totally trying to figure out how long this last...

Thanks so much for your reply! I just got DM today, and am hoping the landing will come soon.

Got DM letter today through email! Now it says I have to wait for the, "Canada Immigration Centre in Ottawa will contact you to arrange an appointment for the finalization of your permanent resident application." Feeling relieved. Are there any other Ottawa residents that could comment on how...

Congrats!! Did you get the landing interview via email or letter?

That's great news! Congrats! Did you receive an AIP letter and no DM letter? Just curious if you received anything other than the landing interview.

Thanks for your response. Hoping some Ottawa applicants will chime in...

Thanks! I'm hoping we don't have to go to the border, but we'll see!

Just wondering where people are landing, who have applied Inland and live in Ottawa? Is it at the border or in town? Thanks!

I am in the same boat as cissychen and angela324. DM on both my husband and my application, but no email (except for husband getting AIP) to me about anything yet.

Thanks!! This is helpful to know.

Congratulations! I bet it feels great. I am also in Ottawa, and was wondering where it is we "land"?
