Interview Invite

[Catzzz]

If IRCC isn't satisfied with your proofs, they will request more, not call you for an interview.

Thank you for your prompt reply! This is a bit out of topic as well but do you see a lot of inland common law sponsorship getting rejected as well over the years that you have been contributing to this forum?

Its likely they dont believe your marriage is genuine and so are calling for an interview. Passport requests dont mean anything

I have never heard of requesting interview after PPR. I have heard of people having decision made on account and then getting an interview request a few weeks later. I also heard of people getting prearrival letters and then having interview requests a few months later. There are interview threads on here if you want to look up questions they might ask.

Here is one of them:

I don't think I have time to ask for GCMS notes as we only have 1 week and I'm not sure if they'll have detailed information there. We are still living together until now for more than 2 years already so I'm not sure if they doubt the relationship or something but we did apply right after we satisfied the 1 year requirement.

Hi! I just read your post here. Today, I received an email that contains exactly the same. May I ask how did your interview go? Did it take long? Is there something to worry about if we receive this kind of email? Please advise. I have an interview scheduled this coming November 28,2018. I am asked to bring exactly the same documents like yours.

Hi, it’s just a simple landing interview to become a permanent resident. They just ask a couple questions about your relationship and background.

Oh no! I took a closer look with the requirements they asked you. We don’t have the same. I mean some are.

Those documents that they asked us to bring are exactly the same documents we submitted last year. How come they are not asking for the latest ones? How come they need me to pay for the RFPF?

Do you think this is a bad sign?
