[Lakasi]

We received our landing interview letter and are going to the office Etobicoke this saturday at 9:30 am

how went your interview please share the experience, do you go with your sponsor? Im stressing I have it this Saturday too.

The question denied to enter canada means at the border or visa rejection?

Pretty sure it's any time you've been denied, you just have to be honest.

Basically you want your answers to match what you put on your application.

It's really not hard just basic information that you should be able to answer easily.

Nothing to be nervous or worried about to be honest.

Hello everybody,


Someone can help? I received the Etobicoke landing letter for 23 March,please can you tell me which type of question they usually ask for inland spousal sponsorship? They request also the ID and my husband presence ,it is normal? it is write the landing letter. Should bring the birth certificate of my dependants

Relax, it's totally normal to have your spouse present. It's required for ALL inland spousal sponsorships to have their spouse present.

Just follow the directions in the letter and you'll be fine.

I already listed the types of questions they'll ask in the thread a few posts back. They're easy questions and you literally have no reason to stress about it.

It's going to take like 10-15 minutes and then you'll be done.

Yea, i have been denied with a visitor visa in the first time that i applied because they didn’t think that i had enough ties with my home country. And then for student visa for the same reason. Hopefully that doesn’t affect my application. When it says that “We are pleased to advise you that processing of your application has been completed. The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office in Vancouver Immigration will contact you to arrange an appointment for the finalization of your permanent resident application.” is it pretty much 100% that I will get my pr? Because I am thinking about moving to Vancouver, and I don’t want to spend $5000 moving and not getting my pr lol

I haven't had mine yet, but I do know what others have said.

It's basically just the officer asking a few questions like:

"Do you still want to sponsor your spouse?"
"Have you ever been denied entry to Canada?"
"Have you ever committed any crimes?"

Also, if you have anything you want to bring to Canada at a later date, make sure to fill out the Goods to Follow form so you don't get taxed on it whenever you DO bring it over. The officer needs to stamp it at the time of landing otherwise you're screwed.

It's like a 15 minute appointment.

You'll probably spend more time waiting for it than the actual thing.

Thanks, that was helpful.

I have the same on my ecas sponsor side ”We sent you correspondence on March 13 2019 anout decision on your application” but never received an email that day just on march 15 a dm letter

oh really, then I am not sure anymore what it means? I just guessed by the date they might be talking about landing letter(as its same). I think better to wait for actual letter, ECAS is not really that helpful these days except the dm part. You can't rely on it.

True

All done

The interview was not an interview but rather handing over the COPR letter. We were given the 10-11 slots at Calgary CIC and there were like 10 other couples in that slot. The call-in notice was taken at the reception. We were called at the booth at around 10:30am, the lady behind the counter asked us if either one of us have any criminal record, took the pictures, asked for my driver's license and then asked my wife to sign the COPR. Took couple of minutes. I don't remember her asking for the payment confirmation receipt or the existing/expired resident permits. Another 10 - 15 minutes for the SIN number and we walked out of the building Easier than expected!

Good luck everyone!

What’s the drivers license for? Neither of us has one

Just to check your IDs.
I don’t know why you guys didn’t get your driver licenses. You need to show them your ID proof. Anyways you can take anything else with you that have sponsor and PA’s address.

Lol You could get a learners driver license just by writing the test. You don’t need car for that. And also some provinces make Photo IDs. They look similar to a driver license.

Looks like no one from Montreal didnt get decision made letter yet;((( we still have decision made only on sponsor side since 22 February;(
