I know CIC is cautious about approving commuter cases (working in US & living in Windsor). Also the "intention to reside in Canada" clause is no more there in Bill C6. Do the immigration officers still verify this intent during the interview? If so, does it help to own a house in Windsor to prove that intent, especially when you are single and buying house is the only way you can demonstrate that intent?
Would appreciate if any experienced commuter members in this forum, can shed some light on this.

Hey thanks,

Passed my test on Apr 11 so about 21 days.

It really depends on the office dealing with your application. Also sometimes they call you for the test before finishing all security checks and other times they only schedule you for the test after they are done with everything else.

All the best.

There were some issues due to my US entry and exits. After sending the document, CO called my office and I had to send some extra paper works. It was stressful and in the end, everything worked out. I am glad I am done with immigration.

Thank you, everyone, for sharing all the info and helping out time to time. If you guys have any question feel free to ask.
