Hey guys. Im a sponsor and I've sponsored my partner as Common law as of May 2014. Our application steps 1 and 2 have just been both completed and our interview is scheduled to take place soon!
While this is great, there's a serious issue. My partner and I have to leave the country in the next few weeks for at least a month. While I'm reasonably sure we'll be able to return (she'll have a student visa), I'm intensely worried we will miss our interview. Missing my brother's wedding would be awful but so would waiting for this PR for almost 2 years for nothing.
Question:
Has anyone ever missed/heard of someone missing their Finalization (CoPR) interview?
Will they reschedule in these situations?
Will sending them in a letter get us in trouble for leaving the country?
Sorry for all the questions but we are really scared and stuck between a rock and a crap place.
