Hi All,
Today I had my landing interview. It was very interesting experience. I read a lot about it online, but in the end I had a slightly different experience than others. There was a mix up with my medical and after 40 minutes wait (my interview was scheduled from 1:00pm to 1:15), the guy called me and said there is a problem with my medical. I said that I had a new one done last year and he said I believe you and started to ask us the regular questions. I was so scared, I didn't realize that he actually went an extra mile to make sure my landing takes place today. I am very grateful and relieved. So he asked regular question if my husband or I were convicted, if I were refused entry to Canada etc. Then I checked and put my initials, date and signature and that was it. He gave us a piece of paper and said to take good care of it. I think 20 minutes later I realized I am PR!
So my timeline:
July 6, 2011 - Application received
May 30, 2012 - AIP
January 30, 2013 - DM
March 27, 2013 - Landing interview
I had to redo my medical, but judging by my landing interview, the latest medical exam didn't make it to the destination.
Anyways, I am extremely happy to have this process over. The next step is PR card in approximately 2 months and Citizenship in approximately 2 years. I wish everyone strength to stay positive and the best luck!
Best wishes!
27 March
