There are 2 types of interviews. relationship interview and the landing interview.

One is much longer than the other.. relationship interview from what I understand is where the ask the most questions to verify everything is right and to make a decision whereas landing interview, a decision is already made and you are asked 3-5 questions and its over. Such as, ever been deported, committed a crime etc.

It's not hard, don't worry too much about it. Just prepare all the documents they requested. We had ours earlier this week, and it was an hour long: they called us in together to go over all the documents and asked us a few questions here and there. Nothing unfair. Then, they split us for 5 minutes to ask these questions separately:

1.have you ever been denied entry in to any country or Canada
2. have you committed a crime in Canada or any other country
3. do you have any dependent
4.have you ever been deported from Canada
5.when did you last enter Canada

We were then told to wait for a decision and got DM the next day. Do you already have AIP? We had AIP when we interviewed so not sure if this reflected on our particular experience.

Kitch is pretty neat... literally in an old bank building. If I was to guess -- BMO? Vaulted ceilings, and 1980's wall paper. Classic. You'd think you were back in time, except for the TV's they hung on the wall, that were turned off..

I think they will be fine.

I'm expecting a DM from you already... c'mon -- you're late! Matthars is done -- just needs the landing date. Botengcoke and you are all that would be left from mainstream-march 2016.

I, too, expect good news from legolg. It can be surprising what a simple letter can accomplish from the government.

CRA last year threatened to revoke my privilege of being able to claim dependents, because my accountant made a minor mistake and claimed my son "same as spouse" (that's 11,474 vs. like 2,000). They sent me this ridiculous and, almost threatening letter demanding I prove that a court told me I could do that. If I didn't immediately supply proof, they would revoke my ability to claim dependents for "abusing the system".

A call with a nice PEI-er (on? ian?) with a charming accent had me explaining the sitch. She said it was really no problem. Here is what you need to do: fix the return, and send a simple letter. Done. Fixed. A month or two later, I got a letter accepting my explanation, and they said it was no longer an issue.

Hi everyone, I received a letter asking for more relationship evidence. Has anyone else received this if so is this information meant to be uploaded or sent I only got a link where to upload the documents. I applied March 23 2016 and this is the only reply I have received since. I am so worried about being refused I have seen others being replied within a month of sending this.

Yeah Carol got the same. It will depend on how much in the way of proofs you want to send them. IRCC Webform will let you deliver that electronically. But it has a size limit of just under 4MB. If it's more, then send via courier...

If the letter specifies a specific means, then use that for speed...

Hey guys, just got my gcsm notes and under the address column, the wrote; "Address type: Entered in error". What does that mean? Does anybody have a similar thing written in theirs? Does it mean my trv was erroneously granted?
It also stated that it was part of my re ords that was released and that the section applicable is Section 15. Please, does anybody have an idea what that means? Certain portions of the gcsm notes werent filled out. Lastly, it says that there is gap in my address history in Schedule A. Schedule A was also quoted as uploaded. My additional family form was also cited but without any other comment. My sponsors column for address was written "residence". Can anybody throw some light please.
