I didnt receive the DM yet when i called they told me they still prossessing my background chek really stressful

Background check depends on your home country. That is why other applicants with same timeline get DM earlier, their countries are probably faster.

I am in same boat as you are,got DM and SA ad AIP one week back still no letter.
I am located in Ottawa.

Update and question here. I received a communication on my PR card, but they are saying that I need resubmit 2 pictures for the pr card to them as the ones I submitted do not meet the specifications. Has anyone else gotten this response or their card in the mail?

I received my COPR on 7th Nov.

Alright guys, I received my COPR today - approved and good to go.

We reached at Niagara centre about an hour in advance. They had 2 running counters and my name was the 2nd one called (so I literally first on one of the counters). The interview was at a desk, basically a person setting across the glass. No questions were asked about marriage, or work to either me or my spouse. The lady only asked us for our passports and a Canadian ID with an address that matches the application. I forgot my driving license at home (she didn't accept my OWP, as she wanted to see a non-CIC issued Canadian ID) and instead I showed her a joint bank account statement with my spouse which had our address. I asked for a change on my last arrival date on my COPR (as I had traveled after submission of my application) again without any questions asked. The lady went and reprinted the COPR with the update and I signed 2 copies of it - one for them and one for myself. She struck out my visitor visa and stamped approval on another page on my passport.

And that is it. You do not require a landing appointment as this is what this interview is. The PR card would be in the mail in 4-6 weeks, they said. We walked out in literally 5 minutes.

By the time I reached home I had a update on my application as below:

Review of eligibility: Your eligibility has been reviewed. Please see the final decision below.
Review of medical results: You passed the medical exam.
Review of additional documents: We do not need additional documents.
Interview: You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics: We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check: Your background check was completed.
Final decision: Your application was approved. Check your messages below for details.

This was followed by an approval on the table below with my PR Card # and issue date. I will post an update when I receive my PR card. So best of luck folks, any questions don't hesitate to reach out. Be prepared to the fullest though. I wish everyone has an easy breezy interview and get their COPR.

Hope this helps!

Hi guys, I have a question regarding background check. What does it say beside background check in the CIC account before it changes to processing or processed?

I.e. for biometrics it says 'We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.'

 

[Ps_948]

I got my landing interview letter by email today 18th dec 2018. and its scheduled for 27th december 2018 (At the Niagara Falls IRCC)

A bit weird as the last email from them with decision made said that the Etobicoke IRCC would contact me with the schedule, now its gonna be a 160km ride for me instead of 40km

Nevertheless
I am happy that Finally I got my schedule.. and I am going to be a PR soon.

Thank you to each and everyone out here who kept posting updates, that helped me a lot !

Congratulations! I am also a March applicant (March 6th) and I am very happy to see that March apps are now at the end-stage of the journey!
Please share your timeline, in particular, when did you get your SA, DM, AIP. I haven't seen any new updates on my CIC account or in ECAS. Background check is still in process, Med passed, no other updates on my account.

Thank you!

 

[Evergreen_3034]

I just did my landing interview, everything went smoothly! Thanks to the forum for the support and encouragement these past months! Does anyone know if I can travel to New York for 3 days through the land border for Xmas ? I don’t have my pr card yet (it’s coming in 2 months)

Congratulations on your journey! Please share if you have to apply for a PR card online or if it comes automatically by mail after the landing interview.
Thank you!

Congratulations on your journey! Please share if you have to apply for a PR card online or if it comes automatically by mail after the landing interview.
Thank you!

For the landing interview they ask to bring two photos, they are used for the PR card application which is done automatically on your behalf once you receive your COPR.
You may use your UCI after that to link the PR card application on your gckey account
