This is simply not right. I am originally from China, which is not a visa-exempt country, but I still get the direct landing interview at CIC etobicoke. Only a small amount of people are invited to landing directly inland but nothing to do with visa-exempt country.
If only a few visa-required applicants receive direct landing emails (on top of visa-exempt applicants), then it still doesn't explain the delay that so many visa-required people are experiencing. My speculation is that IRCC isn't in any rush to change the status of inland CEC applicants (which, if I recall correctly, make up the majority of CEC), given their workload.

Anyway, I'm still waiting for an update on my application, no PPR or landing emails yet. Hopefully soon, especially since people with a later AOR date than me are getting approvals. I'm a single applicant with a simple work, education and travel history. I'd be less frustrated if the process was more transparent, but what can I do (though I may send a sternly worded letter/inquiry about their priorities and transparency issues one of these days).

Same feeling... So all visa non required applicants receive landing interviews?
