Spouse was a March 2017 applicant.
Finally got DM on both sides now just today.
When can we expect the landing letter? (We are in Toronto area)

Finally, I have one question for travelling to the US.
If we go through with the landing interview and want to travel to the US, but before she receives her PR card, can she return without having to apply and wait for a PR travel document to be issued to her? I know during the interview they take back all your existing permits. Her visa has already expired and obviously she wont have her OWP to that would allow her to return if traveling to the US.

I have never tried, but apparently you can cross land border with the CoPR, but you cannot cross with a flight using the same document.

Landing in Etobicoke seems to occur typically 4-5 weeks after DM.

Hi everyone!

Quick question (so hard to get a hold of cic.. :( ) .. we have gotten our landing interview and PR status on September 28 :) It usually take 4-5 weeks for the PR card to arrive in the mail. We are on the last week to receive it. On the website, it advises to submit another request to obtain it in the mail once the 6 weeks are up but we have some travel plans coming up so I wanted to check on status (maybe they never sent it? was hoping I could check if they had). I know I am still within the 6 weeks so it may arrive this week but Im already feeling a little worried since requesting another PR card may take another 4-6 weeks and we are planning a trip in the next couple of months. Any thoughts or suggestions? Has this happened to anyone? What did you do?

Thank you and good luck everyone!

I have not received AIP as of yet. I see DM on both sides of ECAS. Today i called CIC to confirm my Decision and the agent told me your application has been approved and now i have to wait for my landing interview e-mail.
AIP is your "DM on both side" my guy.

Dec 21st Inland applicant - my wife got AIP yesterday on our first year wedding anniversary. Best news ever for us! I haven't gotten SA yet. I'm now checking the ECAS account for when it changes to "decision made" in the next few days. According to the spreadsheet, some got SA after AIP and some never got SA and it went straight to DM. Look forward to see those words show up in both sides on ECAS account. :)
Congratulations! You guys have been so blessed!

Wow crazy. Did you ever get a notification that they started reviewing your eligibility? MyCIC account is still on processing background. I've done medical and fingerprinting months ago. ECAS just says in process on both sides.
