Got a "Quality Assurance Exercise and Request for Additional Evidence" letter for my wife's application today. The letter says she was "randomly selected". They sent a physical presence questionnaire, a request for fingerprints, a consent form to search for "history of arrivals and departures in the United States", they want a provincial personal health claims summary for where we've resided, and an entry and exit record from every country where she's ever been a citizen or resident, other than Canada. Looks like a HUGE PITA.
