Can anyone please help me understand?

Your question has already been answered by several members. If you don't agree with these answers or aren't satisfied by them - you are best off hiring a lawyer to help you at this point. You aren't getting responses because people here have no further information to provide.

As you have been repeatedly told, it's a relationship interview. This is quite clear from the evidence you have been asked to bring. Applications are sent to the local office when IRCC has concerns about your relationship. In the days you have remaining before the interview, you should focus on collecting what they have requested - plus anything additional you have to show your relationship is genuine.

It's quite clear your sponsor must attend ('Please ensure that your respondent comes to the interview '). 'Ensure' = 'must'. IRCC may or may not interview your partner - but your partner must come and be available to be interviewed. IRCC may decide they want to compare your responses. Sometime they do this as part of assessing if the relationship is genuine.

THAnks a lot for your detailed reply.

I understand that it’s must to bring sponsor.

But what confusing me is the Language of the letter.

Whatever research I did on this forum, people who have been asked to attend relationship interview were told they & their sponsor BOTH will be interviewed. And not ‘MAYBE’

Also what it means interview for control purposes?
I never heard this line before in any interview letter from ircc

As several others have already pointed out, although you may not like what you're told and are clearly looking for a different answer, this is clearly a relationship interview. Nothing about the letter you received is ambiguous. The language is clear.

I'm not trying to be mean or rude. It's just that you've already gotten the right answer from several well-informed persons, yet you continue to search for an alternative answer.

THANKs for the reply

I never mean to offend anyone. I appreciate people are very helpful here.

But my question still remains unanswered:

What it means ‘interview for control’?

Why they used the word ‘maybe’ when they can clearly mention this is a relationship interview?
 
THIS IS A TYPICAL RELATIONSHIP INTERVIEW REQUEST THAT PEOPLE GETS:
I found on this forum

Date/Time-******

PLEASE BRING THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION/DOCUMENTS TO YOUR INTERVIEW:

previously married)

any other relationship

and length of time employed. (If self-employed, a statement of income from your
bookkeeper or accountant)
 Copy of pay stubs for you and your spouse for the past 6 months. If either of you are on
social assistance, pay statement from social services

Record)

 Proof of Payment of the Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF)
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/fees/schedule.asp#1

Those documents that they asked us to bring during the interview are exactly the same documents we submitted last year. How come they are not asking for the latest one? How come they need me to pay for the RFPF?
Is this a relationship interview?
Is this a bad sign?

Please advise.
Thank you so much.[/QUOTE]

I think you need to stop obsessing and trying to get answers on the teeniest details that really mean nothing. Accept it for what it is and prepare what they want. Period
 
Yeah, this is seriously going nowhere. You're obsessing over the language of the letter for nothing. It's a relationship interview. Your sponsor may be interviewed. Bring the stuff they asked for and prepare. End of.

Why you guys are so rude to tiarachel85?


You should understand she got her interview request and so its natural to be really stressed out.
I'm with her here


By the way @Sharukh khan i would love to see how you will react if you get interview request.
 
Understanding that every IRCC office will send out different letters twisting words meaning the same process .

Theres nothing rude about anything anyone is saying. Not accepting anytging anyone is saying and getting stuck on the most minute thing is a but much. Sure its stressful but dont get lost in two words. Look at the big picture

What it means ‘interview for control’?
The wording of this letter is a little clunky; in fact, I'm somewhat surprised this was written by IRCC. That said, bureaucrats love filler words like "control purposes" -- you see that in many places where it doesn't strictly make the most sense. For what it's worth, my guess is this was actually composed by someone who is a native French speaker, based on the characteristics of the phrasing and word choice. In that case the use of the word "control" makes even more sense, as contrôler simply means "to check" in French (and is often confused when francophones switch to English).

So, in answer to your question, "control" = "check." Nothing more nothing less.

Good luck!
