Good Morning,
I had my landing interview yesterday in Edmonton and it was pretty straight forward.
We arrived at 12:20, my interview was scheduled for 1 PM.
As we arrived over the lunch hour, the office was closed and there was a line. Once the door opened we were each given a queue number, we received number 11 as there were a number of other people waiting in front of us. Even though there were 10 ahead of us we only waited until about 1.40 and our number was called.
We approached the counter and were asked for the requested documentation per the landing interview letter. The agent took our Visitor Record and state that they were going to keep it as our status is about to change to Permanent Residency and we would no longer need the Visitor Record.
After a bit of back and forth conversation the agent asked:
Have you convicted any criminal?
Have you been deported in any country?
Do you have any other dependent?
The agent helping us said congratulations you are now a permanent resident of Canada and proceeded to explain how to get a new SIN, drivers licensee and health care information.
We also received our Open Work Permit in the mail this morning which is now void due to the PR. We didn't have the OWP at the time of our interview and the agent said it was fine, but that once we receive it, we should shred it as our status has changed and it would no longer be valid.
Good luck to everyone on this forum and thank you!
