Immigrant visas have a validity limited to one year from the date when the medical on the top right corner of each document that you sent to our office examinations were initiated or the validity of the passport, which ever is first. Please ensure to have a valid passport. No extensions are granted once visas are issued.
Interview
You will be notified of the appointment for your interview, if required, approximately one month prior to the date of the interview, and you will be provided with further instructions at that time. Section 15 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act authorizes an officer to proceed with an
examination where a person makes an application for permanent residence in Canada for the purpose of determining whether the person and all his or her accompanying family members, appear to be persons who may be granted entry into Canada. To proceed with an examination, a personal interview is frequently required. Section 16 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination. If an applicant appears for the interview without all the family
members as required by the officer, then the required examination cannot be completed. This means that the applicant would be found to be inadmissible to Canada as a foreign national by virtue of the fact that he or she is unable to comply with all the requirements of the Immigration and
Refugee Protection Act and the Regulations, following sections 11 and 41 of the Act.
