I agree. In few cases they will ask to resend few docs which will again delay the processing.
Exactly. There is several external dependencies on the system as well (CSIS, Interpol, RCMP, the regional medical examiner, and the Sponsor/PA). CIC cannot control how fast they can get data from those dependencies either...

I need to favourite that previous message of yours when I think you stated it took you 19-21 months? March notes said eligibility hasn't started then you went to DM?
yes exactly. GCSM notes of March 8th 2017 (received a month later on April 8th) showed eligibility not started, both for me the sponsor and for my wife. But we got SA/AIP on March 20th, DM the next day. We applied on August 12th 2015, so 19 months and a week or so to get SA/AIP/DM. But notes dated of March 8th did not show anything! My assumption is that they were waiting for security checks and when they finally got them, they processed our file within 24 hours.

Then it took another 8.5 weeks to get landing appointment letter, and landing 2 weeks later on May 26th 2017. So about 21.5 months after application received.

Just stay positive, I'm sure they are just waiting for security checks to come back to your file, and from that everything will go fast afterwards.

Woot woot! Yeah! Party. Hubby and I are heading to halifax the night before the interview since its a 4 hour drive away, and we'll celebrate with a nice meal and hotel room to wake up rested and ready for the landing!

Yep, looked at my receipt and it totals 1040$. Just wasn't clear if that included the right of permanent residence fee or not. Yay!
I hope so for you, but we did not sleep well the night before. We also drove to Montreal the night before. However it was quite noisy in the streets, but even if it would have been quiet, I think we were just so excited that it was coming to the end that we did not sleep well at all! We wanted the time to speed up and to be tomorrow already!

So I just landed this morning!
Just the regular questions, and done in 5 minutes.
My appointment was rescheduled from July 27 to Aug 11 with no problem.
Wish everyone good luck on this lengthy journey!
Congrats!

Hi,

Anyone, can you please explain what does the below information meant? I received the below message in my CIC account. I don't know whether this is an interview request or an appointment for PR landing. @profiler : Do you have any idea?

""We are pleased to advise you that processing of your application has been completed. The Canada Immigration Centre in **** IRCC will contact you to arrange an appointment for the finalization of your permanent resident application. IMPORTANT: You and your family members, if any, will be required to present original identification document(s) to the Canada Immigration Centre at your appointment. A final decision concerning the granting of permanent residence status will be made at that time. If permanent residence is granted, the name that will appear on the confirmation of permanent resident document is your name as it appears on your passport or identity documents.

Passport / Travel Document The passport / travel document that we have on record for you bears the number *****.  If you are in possession of this passport / travel document, you must bring it with you to your appointment at the Canada Immigration Centre.  If this passport / travel document was seized by CBSA, it will be sent to the Canada Immigration Centre directly and will be returned to you at your appointment.

That's the DM letter. Told you it was coming. Wait for the local office to contact you with an appointment.
