Also- FYI, just called the CIC phone line to do my daily check on the processing status...
It now says that processing time is 10 MONTHS! and that they are processing from dec 1 and onwards now. (last week it stated they were processing oct 25 apps).
Seems like there is movement!!
That gives some relief to all of us waiting for decision made. I have been tracking some Facebook groups and it seems like they are in third week of December now.

Can you please tell me what number did you call?

Thank you

My email simply said:

We are pleased to advise you that processing of your application has been completed. The
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office in London 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 Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office 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.


I think it's just a heads up that a landing interview appointment is coming, but I'm not sure since this is all new to me like it is to everyone else here :)
