Has anyone received a landing date from the Vancouver office in the last two weeks?

Received DM on April 29 and still waiting for an email from Vancouver with a landing date. We have to travel quite a distance to Vancouver so I am hoping we will get a few days notice.

Thanks

There isn't much in the landing interview, they ask a couple questions about your family composition, if your sponsor still wants to sponsor you, if you've been denied entry into Canada, then you sign your COPR and you're officially a PR of Canada. It's simple and takes about 10 minutes to complete it all once you're in with the officer.

thanks, sounds easy.

Have you called CIC? Wictory just posted that they got their landing interview from Vancouver today for June 16. It's odd that they still haven't sent you the email. You can also email the office at WST-LandingEnquiries@cic.gc.ca to find out. I hope you hear back soon, this seems unfair.

Ugh, the call centre is such a joke. I cannot get a human! You go through all the options just to be told "we do not currently have anyone to assist you" and they hang up. Omg how pathetic can you get!?

Has anyone had any luck getting through? I need to ask them if they received our police clearance and get information on telling them we had a baby but I can't get anybody. And there really isn't an option for these two things on the automated system! Close to losing my mind.

Thanks for the tip with the email. Is that email for all of the CIC regional offices landings? Do you know what WST stand for? I will follow up for sure.

I think it's the Vancouver office email. That's were my landing email came from and it's also the email they provide if we need to contact them. Their fax number is 604-666-6582.

Hi everyone, I recently requested GSCM notes on my file and found out my "APR file has been referred to SDS for H&C considerations". Anyone knows what SDS stands for?

Thanks

If you google "CIC SDS" you find things like this:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/sds/strategy-2007.asp

It appears to stand for "Sustainable Development Strategy", although how that applies to you I do not know (or maybe I'm just wrong). H&C is humanitarian and compassion grounds. See:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5291ETOC.asp

Was there something special about your application?

Most people have a lot of anger towards the call center because it is useless. Your options are to continually call it until you reach someone, and/or contact your MP who can contact it through a back channel.

The customer service portion of the CIC is basically non-existent.

:S Oh boy. I can see that, it's definitely a pain in the butt to get a hold of someone (LOL I never got a hold of anyone). So frustrating.

Hello everyone, just want to let you know that I received the DM today (after 15 months wait - received AIP in Feb 2014) and now wait for the letter from local office and it's done!!!

Going to my landing interview today! I am so nervous and excited for this to be over. You all are the only ones who understand!
