Thank you so much... I'm so nervous
How long after for visa and PPR?
Nila,
You shouldn't be worried about the interview. It helps you to prove your case further.
Bring all the documents they asked for to show that your relationship with your spouse is legit.

I see in your interview letter it stated that you should bring -all/any documents/information in support of your marriage. (ie. Wedding Album, Photographs of you and your sponsor taken before and after marriage(if any), letters, greeting cards, telephone bills, money transfer receipts etc - bring everything you can think of.

On this forum there are many examples of how to prepare for your interview and what to bring to prove your relationship, here is a link to a thread that can help you: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/spousal-sponsorship-interview-questionaires-experience-preparations-t220698.0.html

To answer your question, how long after...; as many have suggested, it helps if you tell us the timeline of your case. If your medical and police clearance hasn't expired, they will call for PPR within a week or two. If they have expired you will get a request to re do them prior to getting your PPR. After PPR, you normally get your passport back with the visa within 2-10 days.

Hope this helps.

Wow! this is the fastest I've ever heard. For applicants before December 6, 2016. the processing time is currently at 17 months. You are very lucky if they processed your application within just a few weeks. Good luck!

I could be wrong, and someone correct me if I am. I have tried to call the Colombo office myself and so has my husband, they say due to the privacy act they will not disclose any information over the phone and they request to email. However, when you email you get a message back stating if you are still within your time frame they won't respond. Though it seems like that you are over the processing period so I would recommend sending them an email. if you call the IRCC here, they aren't going to have any information for you as well... So Email seems to be the only choice. Moreover, if you do not get a response that way, I may recommend getting gcms notes.... but I don't know they may even contact you before then!! Again, this is just from my experience...
