anybody from dominican republic?

[CoachClive]

My spouse is going to the interview is monday.. fingers crossed.

would you be kind enough to discuss the interview process afterwards?

It would be helpful to know what you were told to bring, what you brought, how you prepared, where it was held, how long, what was generally asked, some overview feelings and then how did it end and the what comes next

I'm so surprised to hear "Sorry I can't help you" from Canadian Embassies in Mexico and the Dominican Republic and from Immigration Canada help line, when trying to find out about why we haven't received the passport yet. Zero emails from Immigration Centre in Mexico after sending 4 inquiries. This is so not acceptable.
So I wrote an email to the cabinet member in my area on Friday.
Then I decided to call FedEx and DHL, the 2 courier services that might be bringing the passport. (Friday as well)
FedEx nothing.
DHL "It arrived today". It was sent Tuesday. Passport was picked up today Monday.
Our package was sent June 6 and passport returned July 8. Over a month.

Please find a courier company that has prepaid waybill and DONT use DHL if you don't want to wait more than a month
I called FedEx International and they assured me that they do deliver passport

Be back in Canada this weekend ;D

It took Mexico 9 weeks to send our passport back, so ridiculous! And we used the VAC in Santo Domingo, it was Mexico's part that never sent it back.
But at least you have it back and can move on to the next step! congrats!

 

[fradan]

Yes thanks.

I hope people are reading this forum so they can avoid some problems.

From what my husband told me,
The interview was a little under an hour. He said the interview was not in a conversational style, and more interrogative. However, I think that depends on the personality of whoever is interviewing you. He said the interviewer reviewed all the information that was brought (Travel documents, Requested IMM form, and updated schedule A, pictures, whatsapp chat logs).
The interviewer asked many questions about me, including where I live, where I work, what I do, how much money I make. Where I lived before we met. Our wedding date.
My husband states that he would ask a question then review the computer for a minute after each response, lol.

The interviewer told him we married quickly, which is cause for concern. However he was approved, and told to await information on how to resubmit an updated medical.

Finally got an email from the immigration centre saying:
By the way we sent it out via DHL and here's is the tracking number
Please follow up with DHL directly to track the status of the delivery.
Please note that once your documents leave our office we assume no responsibilities for the envelope.

Only one week after it was sent out.

I don't count this as a reply to out emails.

Please get your act together for the future applicants.
