Replying to my own message from Feb 16 with an update. Today my daughter was approved and I can now set up an interview for her. I applied for her Aug 2021 (She was born in July 2021) and now today March 9, 2023 she received her email. I'd say that was about 19months. Couldn't be happier as myself, my wife and other daughter all have them and have been waiting on this anxiously for full family approval !! (Interview in May)

Same here. I am a Sept 2021 applicant as well. Called the phone number people mentioned here, and cbsa told me that they approved my application a while back and Americans are holding up. She asked me for my passID, rather than the application number. So I guess my application is not lost or forgotten for now.

More luck to reschedule interview the next day. Interview took 10 minutes. Website shows approved when I walk out of the enrollment center.

Finally my turn to post lol. Sept 2021 applicant, just got conditionally approved. Initial enrolment. I live in Saskatchewan. What would be the easiest way of doing the interview for me? Driving down to North Dakota is like 9 hours. Also I need to do it sometime in the first week of May, and Blaine seems to be not feasible
