Oh man i hope it goes smooth. We will goto Greece for our belated homeymoon lol. There were days so stressed during the process i cant explain. Thanks a lot really appricated for your answer. Now i can breath a little instead of hyperventilating
It's almost impossible for it to not "go smoothly". Plan your honeymoon.

The interview is literally a couple simple questions (convicted of a crime in Canada, any dependents anywhere that are not declared, have you ever been denied entry into Canada, etc), they sign your paper, and submit for a PR Card. They welcome you to Canada, and you're off to get a SIN, health care, and to get blinding drunk.

The questions at this interview is not intended to be a test -- you can't fail it.

If you're in Canada, it's 888-242-2100

Then after they offer the option to speak french, 1 - 1 - 3 - 1. If you have the application number, you can actually check online too...

Yes I am in Canada and I do have the application number. I checked online and no updates. Wanted to speak to an agent personally to see what's up. But never got through

Call at 8am Eastern, or at 12pm Eastern. I found that to be the best times.

But I will save you some irritation: the call centre will basically tell you what is listed in ECAS. They can't do too much else....

Usually I can guess what they are doing, based on: When you applied, What requests or signs you have seen, etc.

You got a medical request, anything else? Document requests? What city are you in? What does ECAS say? Did you have a lot of foreign travel?

I did medical upfront. And on mycic it says medical received. No other requests from them.

I am in Toronto. No travel.

I just checked the link you just sent me. Entered my husband's info instead of mine.

Under sponsor it says "Decision made" (what does that mean?)
Under mine is says application received

You have Sponsorship Approval (SA), and probably either have AIP too, or you are just being assessed for eligibility. So, you're nearing completion!
