CEC - December 2018 AOR

[Hedeeke]

Thank you for sharing!
A question, did you send your passport or did you received a request for a interview?

Also, with the landing interview, a decision will finalized there. You’re given COPR right away.

I’m from a visa exempt country, so it’s pretty hard to tell how it will be for everyone else. I received a landing interview, which didn’t require me to mail my passport. For the interview, they requested that I bring in my identity documents (passport). It seems as if this will be the standard for most CEC applicants, which will be to attend a landing interview.

A couple of friends from Brazil, same country as mine, also did a landing interview, that is why i asked.
All the Brazilians(with CEC process) i know, got a request for a landing interview. I think you are right, this will be the standard for most of CEC.
Tks for the reply tho!

That sounds amazing!!! So you call and ask about the status of your application and the agent said that is approved? Just like that? Do you mind giving more details and what did you ask them? tks!! I want to call them again tomorrow! I am super anxious over here!

I called during my lunch break and waited for about 40 minutes to speak with an agent... She was very nice and told me everything was completed with my app (didn't use the word approved at first). Then I double checked with her and asked if that meant approved and she confirmed that it was approved and I should be expecting an email within a few days (or within my 6-months time frame in the worst case...).

That is the best part! Did you still had to do the landing?

Awesome! Thank you! I will be calling tomorrow morning!

Yeah, I had to do the landing interview to receive a final decision and COPR. The process is much easier this way. All the best with everything!

So initially I sent them a web form regarding my ghost update(last Friday) and got an email from the IRCC earlier today. In the email they told me a decision was made on my app, so I called to see what is the decision...

Update — I also received my PR card relatively quickly (usually expected to arrive in the mail in 4-6 weeks), which it arrived in 10 short days.

Apparently, my application was processed at the Sydney, NS visa office (I didn’t know this until my PR card arrived today. I saw the visa office at the top of the letter).

It appears as if they are moving relatively quickly, so hang in guys! Really hope this helps.

Make sure you read your messages and take action when we ask you to. This will help move the application process along. (this part is new)
