We would like to share the landing interview experience.
We entered into the Vancouver Office whereby the door was opened by the security guard at 2.20 pm, 10 mins prior to the landing interview.
Today there were 12 people went for the landing interview.
My wife's name was called at 3:15 pm and it took about 10 mins to complete the whole interview.
The interviewer asked the sponsor(Myself) for one piece of photo ID and no other question(s) was asked.
Common questions asked for the main applicant (My wife) :
(1) will you travel out of Canada for next 2 months?
(2) Have you been charged/convicted of a crime or offence in any country?
(3) Have you been refused admission to Canada or required to leave Canada ?
(4) Are there any dependents other than those listed in the application submitted?
One PR size photograph was requested by the interviewer.
The interviewer also look into other documents such as passport / work permit before signing on the Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR).
We left the office at about 3:35 pm and my wife is a Permanent Residence of Canada.
Congratulations to you and your wife! It is interesting too see that you had to wait extra 45 minutes and the whole process took over an hour. Now we know to be prepared to be there longer.
The other important thing I wanted ask you was that were you able to link your wife's PR
Card (not the PR application) to her MyCIC/GCKey account after the interview? If you haven't, can you try linking it by following the steps below:
- Log in to your wife's MyCIC/GCKey with her credentials.
- Click on Add (link) your application to your account.
- Choose "Permanent Resident Card".
- Fill in the windows including the day (today) that your wife became a PR. You may need to use the application or document number on the CoPR if the number is different from the PR application.
- Search the application.
Once you link it, could you please also update us with the date of the online approval (should be within a week) and the date you receive the card in the mail. I just wanted have an approximate idea so I can plan my vacation accordingly.
Thank you so much
