Yep, perfectly normal. If they told you you were approved at the interview, it will change to ISSUED within a couple of business days.

Hey guys,

I had my visa approved on December 1st in Vancouver at the interview, but I'm also still in "Administrative Processing" and haven't heard from the consulate. Is it normal for it to take this long?

Thanks and congrats again to all the Canadians. :)
