A few things are mentioned in the landing letter:

Passport
Dependents if included
Interpreter if required
Sponsor
Need to pay the fee at the time if it hasn't been paid
2 Photos

However, I do believe there are other things that I should bring that hasn't been mentioned, no? I think I have heard that a copy of the landing letter, a copy of the reciept that I have payed the fees, and proof that we live on the same address (drivers licenses and/or a bill for example). I will provide my drivers license, my wife will provide hers but she has assumed my name on there, so not same name as in application. Would assume that's not an issue. Hopefully we can find a bill or something with her name just in case.

Other than this, anything else I should bring? Would assume CIC mentions everything in landing letter but apparently not.

Hi, I went on landing interview in October
You need

Id, best is a passport
2 pictures (I took two times, one in pharmaprix and second in Jean cotu, the one from pharmaprix was good)
Proof of payment

That was it.

It's 30 minutes, she will ask two questions to your wife and one to the sponsor ( do you still wanna sponsor your wife)

Then she will print some papers, she will become permanent resident

Good luck

That is it.

The size of your face was different or the actual size of the photo? Also, was there a big difference or just few millimetres? Just curious since I am having issues with incompetent photographers as well :)

Don't overthink it, you only have to bring what they specified in the letter and with the extra docs you already intend to bring with you you will be just fine. The purpose of this landing interview is mostly to confirm that you two are still both in Canada and together as a couple, everything else is same as in outland landing. Congrats on finishing your long process.

I agree too, old work permit. And decision is already been made, you are getting PR 100%, they dont call you to tell you you been refused. It's all good.

Some people have in fact been denied/refused PR at the landing appointment. This is why the DM letter says that "...a final decision will be made at your landing interview".

It's rare, but it HAS happened.

As said in the other thread, you need to renew your passport. You need a valid passport when you land (it needs to be valid for at least 6 more months from when you land). Other things you will need to bring will all be listed in the instructions they send you.

Can you share the reasons of denial in cases you came accross?
