SINs are issued at Service Canada, not CIC. Some CIC offices do have a Service Canada on site. Some have them close by. Some don't.
as @profiler said, just relax. It's a matter of 5-10 minutes maximum, everything just go very smoothly. As Profiler also said, you new SIN, you will get in a service Canada office. You just go there with your CoPR (which will be handed to you at your landing) and it's also just a few minutes before it's done.
You're reading too much into "everything is ok". It means they haven't refused your application, and that they don't need anything from you yet. It doesn't mean that it's totally processed. It means, "just wait". It's in the processing queue still.
Ok thanks @profiler. Yes I am reading too into it. You hit the nail on the head. But the thing is you know the stress this daunting process put on applicant.
Totally get it. Totally with you. I wish it was faster. I wish I knew where the escape hatch, or the "go faster" button was. Sadly, I don't. My advice here, is to try to find a hobby or something to distract you.... Christmas, if you celebrate it! What was your submission/AOR dates?
Yeah they are still in November for now. But any time now! For us, it was 13.5mos from the day we sent it in; or just under 12 months from AOR. Recently they have slowed, because they are having trouble completing security screenings (they are done by an outside office). But, don't worry. Any time now!
