how did the conversation go? i mean can you give us an idea?
i think mine will be "in process" for a while, they still haven't tried to reach my sponsor and its more than a week now.
Re: my sponsor's interview.
he told me that the call was only about 10 mins or so.
-they've asked how we are related to each other
-what help they can give to me when I migrate in manitoba
-they've asked about my education, work, trainings, etc
-they've asked their history in canada.. (like when did they migrate, their status, etc).
-they've asked if we have other relatives in canada (both in manitoba and other provinces).
-they've asked info about my wife...like work, educations, etc.
Re: my interview (applicant)
it was a very short call...about 5mins+
-they've asked if I have other relatives in Canada (I mentioned everyone that I declared in my application, including those who are not in Manitoba).
-they've asked if I have plans to transfer to other provinces (they asked this maybe because I have cousins in other provinces. they dont want those who will be granted approval then later will transfer to another province).
-they've asked if I have other applications in other provinces.
-they've asked info about my cousin who are in other provinces (told them I have no idea - which is true).
-they've asked why I choose Manitoba.
-they've asked about what my sponsor is doing (like work, etc) - I was not able to provide concrete answer coz we never talked about work before.
-they've asked what my other relatives in manitoba is doing....told them retired already.
it was an almost yes/no interview, except on why I choose manitoba and some info about my sponsor and my other relatives (both in manitoba and other provinces).
it is very rare that they will call the applicant. I think they called me because I have 2 first cousins in other provinces which they want assurance that I wont transfer there once they give me the LOA.
Finger's crossed at this time...I have not receive the LOA yet.
