No, I don't think this is the "landing" interview. From your description, I think it's to evaluate your application for the decision making process. Just be natural and make sure you obey any preparation instructions you have been sent. The "landing" interview is done when you have already received your CoPR and you finally become a PR.

In 99.9% of cases, you should tick "withdraw".

This is the first time I'm hearing that 'withdraw' should be ticked off. I thought it would make more sense from a legal POV that 'continue' would be a better choice. I just assumed that, because in some way they see that you do not want to give up on your spouse and are willing to take any risk necessary to get them back. I could be HORRIBLY wrong in that assumption!!!
Can you expand a bit on this please? I'd greatly appreciate it (since i'm filing in August)
Thanks!!! =D

Withdrawing allows you to regroup and resubmit once you have fixed whatever the issue is. You save a lot of the fees as well.
What if I do not meet the sponsorship requirements?

If you do not qualify as a sponsor and chose to withdraw your sponsorship application, you will be refunded the fees for processing the application for a permanent resident visa and any Right of Permanent Residence Fees you have paid. There will be no decision on the application for permanent residence of the person you are sponsoring and you will not have a right of appeal. You could then resolve the situation leading to your ineligibility and reapply at a later date.

If you do not qualify as a sponsor and have not notified CPC-M of your intent to withdraw, the application of the person you are sponsoring will be processed. The visa office will likely refuse the application for permanent residence and inform you in writing of your right to appeal.

Note: You can notify CPC-M of your intent by checking the appropriate box on your Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking (IMM 1344). See instructions on how to complete the form for additional details.

For family class sponsorship, if there is no eligible sponsor, there is no sponsorship or undertaking. The application will be refused without a sponsor. You lose all your money and you waste time in between. I doubt there's any sentiment involved.

Aah. But, the only issue i see is with the sponsor being ineligible.
If the sponsor is very eligible, but you just happen to get a horrible VO, (rare but you never know...) who refuses you on the grounds of one wrong question (i'm exaggerating on this part a bit lol), would you be able to appeal then? Or is it still better to just tick off 'withdraw' and when you reapply, would they look at your application apprehensively? The only reason i ask is because in other forums, i read quite the opposite when it came to that tiny box (withdraw or proceed). A couple of people said because they withdrew, they had issues reapplying later (they were questioned as to why they withdrew, etc).
Sorry if this all sounds insane but better to ask than be sorry later on =)

Again, thanks all!!!

Besides the Checklist sponsor , do we also need to add the Region Instruction checklist, in my case,Latin America IMM3908. Or is it just an instruction guide that should not be added to the process?
:-( Help!

Team-

I have a question I hope someone can help us with...

My wife is coming to visit me in Canada for 3 months, while we are going through the spousal sponsorship through Vienna VO...file was transferred on Feb 14 (nice day:) but nothing yet...still Application Received on ecas.

We did her meds way back in September 2013, and our assumption is they will expire, due to the process taking longer than expected.

My question is, if while she is here, Vienna requests a re-med, can my wife get it done in Canada and then send them to the office? Or does she have to do them in her home country of Holland?

What would that process entail?

Does anyone know??

Also- does anyone have ANY contact with Vienna in the last 5 months....I almost feel they are closed :-(

Thanks!!!

Hi everyone,

My spouse's second medical tests expire in October 2013... I'm wondering if its possible that we may be asked to redo a third medical? Has anyone ever run into this situation? Our file is still in process and we are told to be patient....

A second application will be questioned and more scrutinized no matter what, regardless of what box was checked off. In the case where the sponsor is found to be ineligible, CIC will want to know why the sponsor was not eligible (bankruptcy, violence, welfare, etc.). If the sponsor is found to be eligible, then the checkbox is no longer relevant because the application won't be withdrawn due to sponsor ineligibility unless the sponsor requests at some other point to withdraw the application. A withdrawal of the application due to an ineligible sponsor is not nearly as difficult to deal with or explain as a refusal in the second stage due to the applicant not meeting the most basic requirement. An applicant without an eligible sponsor is not a member of family class sponsorship and that is why the majority of cases should select withdraw in the event of an ineligible sponsor.

The checkbox is only relevant for the first stage of processing where the sponsor is evaluated. If a VO refuses the application in the second stage, if it is an outland application, an appeal can be filed.
