Hello and God bless you!
I sponsored my husband I live in Canada and he lives in Nigeria now. He was deported from Canada in 2009 to Nigeria as he didn’t have proper status and unfortunately had criminal issue which he has overcome. We have been married since 2007. We received the following email from immigration:
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada. In order to continue processing your application, an interview is required. We are therefore pleased to advise that you are required to attend an interview at the location, date and time indicated below:
Interview at the Canadian high commission, Accra (specified date and time)
The purpose of this interview will be to determine your eligibility for admission to Canada.
Unless you have been specifically instructed otherwise by the officer, all of your accompanying family members over the age of 16 should be present for the interview as well. If any are absent, processing of your application may be delayed.
Please bring the following original documents with you to the interview:
Ø Your marriage certificate.
Ø Photos of your marriage ceremony (if you are being sponsored by your spouse).
Ø Proof of communication (i.e. photos, letters, E-mails, phone bills) between you and your sponsor,
and any other documentation you may have in respect to your relationship.
Ø Historical identification such as school documents, birth certificates, previous passports etc. (Please bring originals of documents to interview if not already submitted)
Ø Schedule A: A separate and newly completed Schedule A Background Declaration form (IMM 5669) bearing an original signature
Ø Police Certificate: From each country/state where the residence period has been six months or longer since the age of 18, provide an original police clearance certificate

Ø
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL REQUESTED DOCUMENTS MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE RECEPTIONIST WHEN YOU CHECK IN FOR THE INTERVIEW. DOCUMENTS NOT SUBMITTED PRIOR TO THE INTERVIEW MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED AT THE INTERVIEW.
Please note that interviews scheduled in Accra will be conducted in English or French, the official language of your choice. If you require an interpreter in any other language or dialect, it is your responsibility to make the necessary arrangements for an interpreter, including payment for his/her services. If you arrive at interview and the officer is unable to conduct the interview due to your inability in English or French or the absence of an interpreter, the interview will not take place. Your application may then be assessed based on the information on file, and this may result in an unfavourable decision.
If your sponsor has not already done so they may wish to consider paying the Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) at the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga at this time. Please note that if no visa is issued to you, this fee is fully refundable.
PLEASE NOTE
If you are unable to attend the interview on the date and time indicated, you must inform us well in advance, giving a substantive reason why you are unable to attend. If you do not appear for your interview on the date scheduled, and do not contact us on the date of eth interview to explain why you have not appeared for interview, we will make a decision using the existing information on file.
Do not give up employment, dispose of household effects or make travel or any other arrangement until you have received notice that you are accepted for immigration. There is no assurance at this stage that a visa will be granted to you.
Please bring this letter, any relevant supporting documents, and your passport with you when you appear for your appointment.
A copy of this letter has been sent to your sponsor in Canada, if applicable.
