Lesley,

There is no information showing up about whether the payment has been made or not on my CIC status. I made also the payment using the "online payment" tool, however my understanding of the process is Mississauga Office would not have processed our file without the payment being made first.

Hi guys, happy to let you all know, we got the visa today after the interview in Beijing!
Yaaaaa Hooooooo!!!.....Hurrrraaaaaaayyy!!!! Hapyy Hapyy Hapyy!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I just want to share something with everyone for those that will be going for an interview in Beijing, China

1. Please be early at the interview (there are quite a bit of people there waiting in the line, so be there early so that you can get in early).
2. Be sure to print out the email/letter of the interview because you need that email/letter to get in there and a piece of ID.

The interview:
We went in the room together, and they asked: do we still have things to give them, then we hand them everything they requested, they also asked for my passport too. Then the Officer introduced herself to us, she told us that she will be interview the applicant first, and asked me to wait outside and she said I might/might not need the interview.
My partner then had the interview for about 50mins (cause some of the questions she explained in more detail to the Officer because she didn’t want just to say yes or no), she said the interviewer was very nice and kind, she said most of the questions they asked were related more about sponsor. After her interview, they told her that they believed our relationship is genuine. My partner then ask them whether they want to see me so my partner came out and call for me, so I went in there, they told me everything is approved, we can pickup her visa at 3 to 4 pm the same day.

Some of the interview questions:
Questions like: where does your sponsor work and what is your sponsor occupation? Question regarding our relationship and how our relationships develop? What are our plans in Canada? Feeling between 2 of us together untill now? When and where we plan to live in Canada? Any relatives in Canada? Why she’s thinking of immigrate to Canada now? How do we know each other?
Most of the questions they asked were about sponsor.

Good Luck to everyone!!!!

Congrats for both of you.
I guess I should receive news soon from the visa office, because of "file transfer dates" are very similar. Did you receive a letter or an email requesting the interview ? So far, we have received everything by e-mail.

Thanks,
