Appears too late to respond to your query, but hopefully you will advise the forum about your interview.
Reports about PR card application processing interviews are not common in the forum. What I know about them comes more from reading IAD decisions (where PRs have appealed a decision to terminate their PR status), and fitting the typically minimal references to the interview into the scheme of what we know about how the process works based on Operational Manuals and PDIs (Program Delivery Instructions), mostly in regards to the process of conducting a formal Residency Obligation compliance examination and the preparation of a 44(1) Report, followed by a Removal Order.
I encourage you to report to us how this went and what it is about, so that the forum can be better informed. I also suggest you start a new topic to do this, since it is a separate and distinct subject. We really could use your input. And in response perhaps we could offer some information and observations if following your interview you have ongoing questions or concerns.
You appear confident, perhaps certain, there is no Residency Obligation compliance issue. In contrast, the few actual cases we know about, involving interviews at this stage of PR card application processing, are almost all about examining the PR in regards to RO compliance.
One of the issues the forum is following, which has popped up in more cases in recent years, are situations in which living with a Canadian citizen spouse abroad does not get credit toward RO compliance. The credit is available to PRs who are "accompanying" their Canadian citizen spouse abroad, which in some cases requires showing more than living together. But if you were IN Canada when you made the application for a new PR card, and have remained in Canada since the summer of 2021 (when you made the PR card application), hardly seems likely that IRCC would be pushing this even if your situation might otherwise raise a question about who-accompanied-whom.
There are of course several issues that can otherwise have an impact on a PR card application and which could be the subject of an interview, ranging from not being eligible because the PR was not IN Canada to consideration of H&C relief factors if an officer has ascertained the PR RO was not met. But again, we do not see many reports about this, so further information from you would be helpful.
Regarding one year versus five year PR Card: the one-year PR card is typically for PRs after a decision to terminate their PR status, such as after a PR TD application has been denied or a Removal Order for inadmissibility issued, or at least a 44(1) Report has been prepared and is pending.
Again, you are engaged in a stage of processing we do not get much good reporting about but which can be of much importance to affected PRs, so further information from you will be appreciated.
IN Particular, Please Post More About Your Situation and the Interview, preferably in a new topic.
