Walaikum Assalam.
Here is a list of interview questions I found on this forum. These are not mine, I just copied them and made a list. Some are really weird and preposterous and will never be asked in an interview.

Interview questions:

Hello Hafsah,

Yes yes you can have great help here.
My wife went through interview as well. what is your case husband or wife?

There are only two reasons for the interview.
1) To assess whether relationship is genuine or not
2) Security reasons

in your case most likely reason is 1st one. take following things with you for interview.
1. proof of relationships (Nikah Nama, Family registration certificate, Registered Nikah Nama (Nadra)
2. Pictures from day you both met till last day you both spend together.
3. Phone bills showing call history
4. Skype, Viber logs
5. review all sponsor/Spouse questionnaire form already submitted.
6. Show you intentions how you will be an active Canadian i.e. your future plans if asked.

Answer every question precisely. not less not more.

Decision made means You are approved as sponsor now. check your junk email. or call them on their toll free no. that what was the decision made. Is your ecas showing your spouse Permanent resident application received status??? that must show. if not. call CIC toll free no.

If it is showing your spouse name and Permanent residence application received then your file is transfer to LVO.

Yes for all new cases they count time from submission.
Interview is likely if Visa officer needs some clarification regarding the relationship. when proof of relationship is not sufficient. Nikah only cases. sponsor is new in Canada as well.

my father files our (of my mother along with 5 children) in may 2007.
at that time we all were underage, but now only my youngest brother is 17 year old and rest are above 20.

we had our first medical done in 2013.
now we received an interview call and 2nd medical is required during next 2 mnths.
we are not sure what they are going to do next, but just keeping the finger cross we are hoping for best.

thanks alot for you concern.

well You all have sufficient proofs to prove relationship. they will ask you mother about your father, his job in Canada. where he lives. etc. make a family registration certificate from Nadra. showing all your family members under your mother and father name.
and next will be passport request.

That is not true, they clearly mention on CIC website that 11 month timeframe is after the completion of stage 1(sponsorship approval). So one should count 11 months time from the date London VO received their application.

You may be right but it will add only a month to it. as per my info. its from application received status. and PR application is received with sponsorship application.

Thanks for clarification
