slots all full for pr formalities?
slots all full for pr formalities?
So I recently got my pr approved, and went ahead to book the appointment. Once in the system I realised all the slots have been book till 20th DEC. And the following days are all in white box (not released/unavailable) even for the next few months. Any idea why?

That's easy. All the slots are full.
It's nothing to have a 3 month wait for an open slot, although if you log in every morning you might find one open for a little while where somebody has canceled. However, you cannot keep changing. I think two times is all. A search on their forum will turn up the answer (recent) but I've got not time at the moment to do so as I've to go to work.

I was recently in a similar Catch-22 situation, I could not book an appointment at ICA for weeks, not before the expiry of my non-extendible visit pass.
Suggestion:
Step - 1
E-mail them, outline the situation and dilemma, ask for their suggested resolution. In a way, that's like putting a written marker down, that you're attempting to do the required/correct thing, but simply cannot.
Step - 2
Expect them to perhaps reply, and say, 'Turn up at 7.30am on Xday or Yday and queue for a walk-in appointment'. Then plan on it being a joyless half-day process. --- What this means is you're not pre-booked, but you're on 'stand-by'. You get seen, when someone else with a fixed-time appointment does not turn up for their time-slot.
