Hey everybody:
We just got notified that we will be having an inland interview in a couple of weeks! Is there anything anybody can tell me that I should know beforehand? Or anything about the Edmonton office?
Thanks

Thank you.
Do you know how long it takes for them to make a decision after the interview? And how long does it take to receive your papers?

It's a PR review.

CHLOE:
We applied last year in May of 09, in November our case was transferred to a local office (Edmonton) in which they told us we would likely have to wait until November of 2011 for an interview. Fortunately, we were phoned recently to have our interview in July. Hopefully for you, your case will not take as long as ours. A friend of mine applied in July of 2009 and had her papers in April of this year. But she had AIP, we did not.

BeShoo posted this link in another thread.
This also looks excellent for Family Class interviews:

I also saw a long list of possible interview questions somewhere on the forum but I can't locate it at the moment.
