OK, it's finished finally - we had a PR interview today and my wife got PR paper right there.
Due to some personal reason we had to change phone interview (scheduled earlier) and to have an interview at CIC office.

Applied in the middle of Jan 2017, using old application package. Got PR in April 2018.
congratulations

i spoke to cic agent and she told me that you have to wait for 8 to 10 weeks before you get the landing interview.

Thats what they told me too. I also emailed Etobicoke IRCC and they said that I will be schedule within 6 - 9 weeks. It will be 5 weeks this Thursday. I am getting to be so impatient right now. Keeping my fingers crossed that I will hear back from them before that.

Good luck guys!!!

Still waiting, Dec 12. I called CIC on Friday and the agent said they sent an email to Mississauga and I just have to wait. The agent also confirmed and explained to me that since I applied for the OWP before my expiry date of the current permit, i can continue working on implied status until final decision is made. I specifically asked her if she is sure about that and she cofirmed, so now I feel less stressed about OPW.

Any Dec 11/12th 2018 still waiting for their OWP to be processed?

Thanks,

Z

That's what they said to me too. But all this waiting is literally driving me crazy because so much is riding on me getting my new OWP.


I really hope we get ours before the end of the month.

i just got an email from cic and says that Etobicoke IRCC will contact me to arrange an appointment for the finalization of my PR application. I think this is the landing interview but i havent got SA and AIP.

Thats awesome!!! I read that some people don't get SA and AIP but go straight to landing. Maybe thats the same for you too. Now I am getting worried as to why mine is taking so long.

What's the next step after passing medicals (background check has been processing since December)?
- Sponsor approval? (we got no Ecas number for my sponsor)
- Passport request? (even inland?)
- Email stating that they're going to start working on eligibility? "Decision made" on Ecas?

I don't know what I should expect and when.
