I got scheduled for final interview on March 15.
They give me the wrong location/province though.
Did anyone experienced having to request a change of location for the interview?
I called and emailed every number and address I was given but nobody picked up or replied even. Not sure what to do. I don’t really want to have to spend 1000$ in flights.

Oh my gosh, this is worst than what happened to me. On the email, they sched me for an interview March 13 and then the next day they emailed me again and changed it to March 14. But you shouldn’t be interview on a different province, it has to be the nearest office to where you live. This is really weird. Hopefully, they emailed you too that they made a mistake.

which office is the interview at and when did you receive the contact from that office? Was it a email or did they call you? my wife got her "PR completed" email on Feb 20th, but still no contact from the Etobicoke office

CIC Vancouver Contacted me the next day via email when i got the permanent residency authorized. And then they changed it again the next day. But I’m living in Surrey and the area of the interview is close by. 5 min drive from our house.

ah that's why its so fast. In etobicoke Ontario I hear that it is the busiest office for PR for caregivers. its been almost 2 weeks since that email and we have heard nothing.

 

[joeythecat]

anyone get contacted from the etobicoke office yet? been 2 weeks for us so far an nothing,

also, when you are waiting for the PR card to come in the mail, can she leave the country?

 

[Vnstfbn98]

They told me they made a mistake and put me in the wrong queue. So they canceled my interview appointment and they are gonna reschedule me in the right province. So just waiting to hear my new interview date. It’s stressful.

I read somewhere in this forum. Waiting time for interviews at the Etobicoke office is between 6 to 14 weeks. It is the busiest office in Canada.

Hopefully you'll get the new date soon in your city...God bless you!

omg that's horrible.

 

[Vnstfbn98]

It is. But let’s not forget that live in caregivers used to have to wait about 4 years for their prs to be processed, and that was just until a couple of years ago. Our processing times had a huge improvement.
