Application is approved but waiting for PPR/Landing Interview mail

[Wendy1112]

I’m an inland applicant from Vancouver. I was told by the officers that Vancouver has a three months delay in conducting the landing interview. Not sure how accurate this is as I eventually got the RFV email to which I responded to and is now finished. I had received a letter from my PO that my local IRCC office would be contacting me for my landing interview which never happened even after a month and a half of waiting. I hope they contact you soon and best of luck.

In this case, can you choose to land at the boarder instead? And may I ask what is a ready for visa email, is it a same thing as PPR? Thank you

Dear All,
Iam not in Canada...
My status is as below..



Application status: We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.

Review of eligibility: We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.

Review of medical results You passed the medical exam.

Review of additional documents Not applicable.

Biometrics : Completed.

Background check: We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.

Does this mean I'm at the final stage which is the Background check?
How long will this take before I get an email requesting passport? Have I passed eligibility?

What does background check consist of?

Any help in advicing and let me know the approximate time...this would be appreciated.

The status from your online account does not show any detailed information, unfortunately. Not sure how long would it cost or what is the exact status of your application.

I crossed my 6 month mark today, just called IRCC and the agent told me my file is transferred to Montreal after the completion.
Guess I'm the unlucky one

If they call you for landing interview then they will transfer your file to Ottawa.

Yes I could have chosen how I land, either at POE or IRCC office. The IRCC route was much longer so I chose the POE route as I was making a trip out of the country anyways. Also RFV is the same as PPR email.

Any idea why would they transfer you to Montreal? Ain’t you supposed to just wait for a landing interview?

If they call you for landing interview then they will transfer your file to Ottawa.

Do you mean my landing interview might happen at Ottawa,but the scheduling and notification might still be done by Vancouver office ?

I think Ottawa will do the schedule since your case would be transfer to Ottawa to finalize.

@mike2236 thanks a lot for the detailed info. Hope I'll have a chance to choose as for me it's really the same - going to VO in Vancuver or just a few km further to the border with US makes no difference.

In that case I don't understand why is my approved file still sitting at Vancouver VO. Just waiting to be blessed for transfer it seems

No, I believe that both scheduling and interview will be done by Ottawa.
