Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2016 timeline and updates

[profiler]

It's been a week since I saw decision made on Ecas and still no email. Not even decision made email. I am expecting to land in Saskatoon. Anyway with experience from Saskatoon?

DM means positive result. You'll have no issue landing.

1-8 weeks is the average time!

Hi Guys..Finally the wait is over I got an email yesterday:


We are pleased to inform you that the processing of your application for permanent residence will be finalized at an interview that is scheduled for Time on DEC. 22, 2017. Your interview will be conducted at: Address

Please bring this invitation letter to the interview. You must also attend the interview with the following:
1) Your passport. You must provide us with satisfactory original identity documents in order to acquire permanent residence status. o If your passport is currently being held by the Government of Canada (IRCC/CBSA), we will request it on your behalf.
2) Two photographs for your permanent resident card o Permanent resident card
3) Your current Social Insurance Number, only if you are in possession of one. You will need to change your Social Insurance Number (SIN) to reflect your new status as a permanent resident. o Service Canada representatives may be available at this interview to assist you in obtaining your new SIN.
4) Your sponsor, only if you are landing under the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in-Canada Class o Your sponsor must bring photo identification and proof of address.

I am kind of concerned about the Interview it will be it normal like other people are stating in this forum or some other new questions are added.Maybe people who recently went for interview can share their experiences here. Also if somebody can explain me what is proof of address (as stated for my sponsor) and other documents I can carry which can be helpful to us in in the interview process.

Thanks in advance

Congrats. Landing interview. Normal. No issue. Like a driver's license.

Have a question about the status you got in your GC key account for Back ground check ? For interview required, does it say Background check is in process or NA before Interview email ?

In progress is common at this stage.

My Ecas shows decision made on both sides and automated system of cic states the old information that my background check is in process and they are reviewing the eligibility (even after I already received AIP) for interview it says you do not require an Interview. Also after AIP I havnt received decision made email I just received the email from Etobicoke directly for the interview.

Your application status will remain in progress until you land.

Are they listed on your file? If so, they're required to attend. Otherwise, no get them a sitter. It's pretty boring.

Congrats btw!

Babies I am sure are fine. Even toddlers. But, remember it's important business happening...

Hi,

I would tell you no worries.

Two days ago I had my landing interview at Etobicoke and the waiting area was full of babies and children, it is normal.
If you have no sitter, take your kids with you there will be no issue, but as Profile said you will need to wait for a while , interview will be between 5 to 10 minutes as Officer will be filling your papers and you will have to initial on them but waiting your turn it may take an hour depending on the crowd.

Congratulations and Good luck

How long you wait to get a landing appointment after getting a decision made?

Hello!

So, further to my post earlier about this "express telephone landing oddity", I got my telephone landing sort of done yesterday. Here's how it worked for me:

Before the call
- I got an email on 12 Dec 2017 for a telephone landing invite on 18 Dec 2017, which I had to respond within 48 hours
- If you agree to participate, they will send your CoPR by post
- The email invite also state that for the call to take place, you and your sponsor will need to be in Canada, both will need to be on the call, and you will need the CoPR
- As advised by other forum members I reached out to my MP to see if they could speed anything up or delay the interview so I could have my CoPR - was told (by MP's contact at CIC) that I could actually do a border run or call CIC to make a landing appointment once I have the CoPR. I also got a tracking number that does not work
- I replied to the email to confirm my availability for the call, and requested that the CoPR be sent to me electronically. I got a reply last Saturday saying that I do not need to have the CoPR with me to complete the call (which is inconsistent with the earlier email

During the call
- Was told that I should be able to receive my CoPR soon
- There was identity verification for both the applicant and the sponsor
- The typical questions for applicant (crimes, rejected to enter Canada etc) and sponsor (confirm sponsorship) were asked
- Instructions to complete the CoPR was given (e.g., about the same questions the asked, how to initial boxes and sign)
The whole call took less than 10 minutes and was pretty easy.

After the call
- I'm still waiting for the CoPR - no idea why it takes so long for xpresspost to deliver something - it says the delivery time is 2/3 business days, but it is now stretching towards a week
- I am required to complete the form (2 copies) and send it back with photos. CIC will send me back a fully signed one, and the PR card process should kick in automatically. I assume that I can get a permanent SIN number with the fully signed CoPR

All in all I think it is a good addition to what's currently available. If you get an email for a telephone landing appointment - accept it and remember you do not necessarily need to wait for the CoPR to arrive before the interview! The email also sounded quite harsh "it says something like if you can't make it that time, ignore this email" - but there seems to be many cases where people replied with a request for a reschedule and they got it!

Let me know if you have any input or questions!

COngrates,
did they give you any time frame that within certain days you need to do a border run or call CIC to make a landing appointment once you have the CoPR? The reason why i am asking is i am expecting my landing soon but i am traveling outside Canada in Feb-2018. If i complete landing before that than i cant travel outside Canada as i need to wait for PR card, so only i can do my landing once i am coming back from vacation at border.

Thank profiler...another question for you..Our son was born on Nov 28th,2017 and i really forgot to update CIC on this...Do you see this being a problem.My wife is a canadian citizen and he was born here..I will take his birth certificate along with us for the landing interview as well..but i really hope its not a prob...i totally forgot to inform CIC.
