Received a letter from CIC...

[reneenetrop]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had a similar letter and can give an idea of what to expect... My partner is in the final stage of applying for PR and she just got a letter stating that she has to go for an interview. It doesn't ask for me to come, or for her to bring anything, just that she has to attend. Does anyone know what this interview may entail or what we can expect to happen after?

A little back ground - We are married and I am her sponsor. She is immigrating from England. She got first stage approval in November 2011 and has completed the police check and finger prints etc. We have a son who was born in May 2011 and all his info has been sent to the immigration worker.

We are so anxious and nervous and just want to see an end to all of this...if anyone can offer some input I'd appreciate it greatly!!
Thanks,
Renee

I should clarify.. she was given a date and time etc for the interview, I just wondered if anyone would be able to tell us what to expect from it....is there any chance this could be the final stage? Or would the letter have had to tell her that?

Is the application inland or outland?

For inland, if it was the final stage interview, she would be asked to bring along two photographs and the RPR Fee (if not already paid), and the sponsor.

 

[reneenetrop]

It's Inland...we paid the fee when the application was sent in and her pics were submitted too. Is that what you meant?

On eCase under PR Application - does that say 'Decision Made' or 'In Process'?

A landing letter generally mentions the following:

I am pleased to advise you that the processing of your application for permanent residence will be finalized at an interview that has been scheduled for [Date] at [Time].

You must attend the interview with the following:
- Valid passport.
- Your sponsor.
- $490.
- 2 photos.
- other things that may pertain to you

IMPORTANT

Failure to appear for this interview may be interpreted as evidence that you are no longer seeking permanent residence in Canada an your file may be closed.
