Hi guys, for those who are curious about the processes of the London cic office
My husband and I arrived for our appointment. The room was semi dark with only one processing officer. Your name is called you go up to the window with everyone in the room hearing your answers. You are asked a few questions 1. Have you ever been charged of any crimes 2. Have you ever been asked to leave Canada. 3. Do you have dependents that have not been listed on the application. 4. To my husband they asked if he was still in a happy committed relationship. Afterwards the agent chit chatted with us about our jobs and how we met. Asked for our proof of income for each of us (paystubs) then photo ID for the both of us, pictures for PR card, passport. Stamped the passport to say I was landed and then gave me a few pieces of paper to sign which were called the "confirmation of permanent residence". After that he asked if we had any questions, wished us good luck on the marriage and said congratulations you are now a permanent resident of Canada. He also explained how to update sin, apply for health card, not to do any commercial traveling until the PR card came, how residency is maintained. He also explained that if my husband travels with me outside of the country... No days of being absent are counted. Overall it took about 30 mins from waiting to leaving. The Place was next to deserted with one agent and about 3 applicants and their sponsor for the time we were there....
The end
