Probably they want to verify your relationship; i would go through the application you submitted if you have a copy just to refresh your memory on what you put there; also have pictures, call logs and anything that can proof your relationship ready in case they ask.
Hope everything goes well.

Request for an interview is one step closer to the finish line. So cheer up my friend. You are almost done. You might even get passport request or visa on the same day if the officer is satisfied. You should go through your application especially the sponsored spouse questionaire and make sure you know every detail to your finger tips. Also make sure you know all personal details about your spouse.

There is also a thread for interviews. I tried to find it but I don't remember what it is. Take your time and find the thread. It might give you some insight on what to expect.

Good luck!

Hi everyone,
I just received my SA yesterday and my wife lives in Dakar. I do have a question for the sponsors living in Quebec. Since I need her to fill and sign a form for the CSQ application, do you know if Immigration Quebec accept scanned documents?
Thanks

Hi Mike 232,

You should call MIDI and ask if they accept Scanned copies. Their phone number is included in ur sponsor approval letter or email.

Hi Carla,

I think it changed because they expect your medicals to expire before they make a final decision so they will request a new one. You might get PPR and remedical request at the same time.

Hang in there!

Hi everyone!

It's so exciting to seem some progress coming out of the Dakar office…We are still waiting to hear any update on our file. I received SA May 19th and we sent medical results in at the beginning of July and there has been no update in regards to them. Contacted our MP once again this evening. Holding out hope that we will be reunited sometime soon-ish.

Any other applicants from Mauritania?
