They asked me about how I met my husband, how he proposed me, how is to be in a distance relationship, my husband is canadian citizen but originally hes from eastern europe so she asked if it was normal for a eastern european man to fall in love with a southamerican women, she was like I know all couples have problems and argued what u guys argued about,....what were our plans when i moved to canada and where we were planning to live,who decided where we were gonna live, and then she said I need a couple minutes and I will tell u my answer,....then after 5 minutes she said you are aproved congrats, now u can breath!!! I was like yay!! but my relationship is genuine we did not have any red flags or anything we been thogheter for almost 3 years ,so I think sometimes they just call you for an interview como control de calidad I guess or in my case probably becouse of me being hispanic and my husband european..I dont know, every case is different, like I said just have faith and never give up, I trust in God a lot and Im very grateful!! I know we still have to wait for the mexican police record but Im positive..... good luck to you all

Thanks! Congrats on your recent SA. I now have your information in the timeline spreadsheet. Be sure to keep us all updated with changes to your timeline! Feel free to ask any questions you might have!

Speedy Processing!

tricia-chile!! Welcome back! Thought you'd dropped off the planet . I've been hoping for an update and wondering about your application status. Congrats on your approval!

As for the passport/visa my impression has always been that there would be some sort of visa "stamp" or laminated visa attached to one page of the passport, as well as a COPR letter. Though in reality I have never actually seen one. How can there be nothing in the passport?? That doesn't seem correct . You should call asap!?

If he's already in Canada you would do a flagpole landing I believe at a land border.

Edit: I didn't read the new posts before posting mine. So I am not aware of how the visa exempt/inland process goes in that regard!

PS - Please let us know your landing date so I can finalize your timeline in the spreadsheet. Tx and best wishes to you and your husband!

thank you so much for your kind words <3 i'm so so happy your interview went so well <3 i want the same as well, hopefuly!! think they are wondering because we are a very young couple but i pray god everything will go well, i will let you know guys the 4th of november how it goes!!

PD: i also ordered notes, i will get them november the 2st do you have any idea where in the notes i can find the reason of the interview?
thanks a lot

I think this is a general email that they send to everybody, do not feel bad. They just want you to wait until they ask in formal for your passport, remember that you have to attached that letter when you send it. I have hope and I know my file is below yours
