Hello,
During May I've applied for PR (applied from Canada, I'm on a work permit status), today I got an email with an invitation for an interview.
I'm quite nervous since all my other friends were told to send copies of their passports to Ottawa and than go the border to land again.
Do any of you know what this might mean? that's the content of the Letter (in short):

Absolutely no need to be worried. That's only their new process that they're slowly rolling out. Some people send passports, some people go for interviews. That's the same thing as the confirmation of your application!
They're just going to ask you 4 or 5 general questions (like " have you ever been convicted of a crime?" and that kinda stuff).
Congratulations! :D

It was very good and fast, took about 10-15 minutes.
They asked if we have any criminal chargers in Canada, if we are who we claim we are and our last entry date to Canada.

I have my interview scheduled on 21 Nov at 2 PM in Etobicoke office.
Is anybody aware if there is any parking available near the IRCC office. My appointment being scheduled during busy hours, doesn't wanna end up roaming just for parking my car.

Also can we go early in the morning, if we have our appointment scheduled during afternoon to avoid taking a leave from office ;).
