hey guys,

just out of curiosity, seeing how the situation in Syria is not getting any better and they are advising people to leave the country, is it likely they will not ask for an interview?

I've seen the same announcement on their website.....personally I don't think it affects their decision on the interviews, I mean if they feel that they need to question u they'll do so without considering the situation in Syria. The good thing is that most of the people are exempted from attending the interview.

I believe there has only been 3 people in this forum that gave been asked to attend an interview so the chances seem pretty low.

It's something around 5%.
An interview is necessary only when the visa officer is not convinced that u plan to live in canada in future or finds something fishy about ur file (he becomes suspicious that ur marriage might be fake).

To make the long story short, if u have provided the visa officer with solid documents the chance of having an interview is pretty low.

In another thread you have asked about some ones who have applied for spousal sponsorship from Iraq. You can find here at least 4 memebers who are still waiting for their PPR. You can contact and ask them your questions.
