This application was received in Kingston on 26 June 2012. Applicants can check the status of their case on the CIC website by clicking on Client Application Status.
On February Following an initial review, this application was queued for interview and is currently awaiting its turn for scheduling, based on the date it was received. Interviews are normally conducted at the Canadian High Commission in Kingston. Once an interview date is scheduled, the applicant will receive an appointment/interview letter approximately four to six weeks before interview.
Processing times are calculated from the date the application is approved by Case Processing Centre Mississauga, after which it is sent to the visa office for further processing. For individual cases, actual processing times may vary depending on the complexity of the application and the number of new applications received by the visa office.
I also order the notes on February 11, 2013 to see if this could tell us any more, so we will be waiting to see what it says. so we will be waiting for notes and hoping Maddants will hear from them soon on his interview date. We have interview questions down pat and sure maddants will get through this with flying colors.
One question I have in mind is something you may not have come across...
First of all, I am native American woman with native status card and have duel citizenship for U.S. and Canada. I can live in either country as a citizen. When I filed to sponsor, I had to list my birth county as U.S. Since I was approved as sponsor, I was wondering if this could be something they will ask maddants at the interview? Also, since I was approved already, is this not going to be a concern? Or am I worrying for nothing. LOL I was just wondering if they would ask him about my duel citizenship during the interview.
