No, you'll be waiting for your landing appointment letter from Vancouver IRCC. AIP comes before DM. So right now, you don't need it anymore. :)
Ok, thank you for the clarification :D so many terms, I keep on interchanging them haha

Congrats and to be honest it seems to be luck of the draw. I got my DM on October 1st and still don't have a letter from Vancouver, however I know someone who got their letter the same time I did and they already had their interview this week....I am still waiting and I know I am not alone...this last step seems to be longest....maybe you'll get lucky and get your appointment invite soon. Congrats again!

Hi everyone, question. For the landing interview, it says that I bring Temporary Resident document issued by CIC, do I bring all the permits, current/valid and expired OR just the current? I have several expired permits from when I was still studying.

But I'm thinking atm that I bring all, just in case. Haha

Landing letter (Edmonton) 26 October 2018 for 8 November 2018

@crystarclear I just received the letter! Only a week after my DM.
I almost have the same timeline as you: received my Appointment letter today but it is on 9th of November in Edmonton office. But I have a question, do you received a letter same as mine? Said I the content “ PLEASE BE PREPARED To wAit UP TO 2.5 hours as interview are conducted in order of arrival ? What is that mean? I hope it is not the length of interview. TIA

Congratulations! They are just saying that we could wait up to 2.5 hours for our turn. Not the length of the interview.
