That was so nice of you. All the best, and good luck on your road to PR! I have an important concern: Could you please advise me on photos (the letter says 4 passport-size photos)? Am I required to carry 4 passport-size photos or it is not necessary? Also, I do not have my passport with me - CBSA seized it! Please advise, what ID shall I carry? Thank you very much.
Are you going for 1st interview
 
Yes. The letter says - "NOTICE TO RETURN FOR INTERVIEW". And, the location is: Vancouver Immigration. Date and Time: 2024/12/10 @ 11:00
 
Thank you very much. Is there anything I need to prepare for, or is there anything specific I should carry with me? FYI, I do not have my passport with me - CBSA seized it.

CBSA seized mine too but they gave a copy of my passport with the seizure letter on it so if you also have that, I recommend you bring that with 4pcs of passport size photo and the notice to return of interview paper itself

I haven't heard of anyone getting hearing dates who filed late 2023 or since 2024. Probably closer to the ending of 2024, perhaps November, December and Jan 2025.

Just sharing my timeline:

1. April 19, 2024 - Submit BOC to IRCC
2. April 21, 2024 - AOC received
3. April 29, 2024 - Complete Medical
4. May 03, 2024 - Medical uploaded
5. May 07, 2024 - Medical passed
6. June 03, 2024 - Invitation to 1st Interview
7. June 18, 2024 - Biometrics and document seizure.
8. June 18, 2024 - Work permit and Brown paper issued. The officers did not asked me any questions.

Awaiting the invitation to a hearing now from the IRB.

I received my hearing date which is this month (December 2024) and my claim was submitted February 2024.
