I received a random "Quality Assurance Exercise And Request For Additional Evidence", even though there have been no trips abroad since landing. CIT0205 (11-2017) E - Physical Presence Questionnaire - Quality Assurance Exercise,

In addition, the following documents are requested:
  • Passports

I don't know if it is full blown RQ or something new from IRCC,
this form CIT-0205 always gets confused with CIT-0502 but in the form i received does mention CIT-0205 (11-2017) E
anyone received Cit-0205?
are you still waiting for test invite, please share your experiences, thank you

Hi everyone,

I did the test yesterday at Vancouver (Expo Blvd) location.
Passed the test and did the interview afterwards.

The interview was short. The officer just wanted to double check the dates on the calculator page.

At the end, he said, things look okay, everything will be reviewed, if there are questions I will be contacted, and if not, I will be contacted for oath invite in a few months.

For those of you that have taken the interview at the Vancouver location, I wanted to ask if what the officer said was pretty much a standard thing?

For those of you that have received decision made the day after the interview, were you told any differently?

Thanks.
hey buddy,
my test is tomorrow. how hard is the test .
do i need to memorize dates and names
 
No need of memorizing about 15 of the questions are common sense. Read the book, practice with v-soul

That's exactly what I did and v-soul covered all but one question I had on my test. I think I missed that 20th question and don't even remember the question anymore (I wrote my exam at Expo Blvd in Vancouver in mid-March).

I just selected the 100-question option on the v-soul exam and kept re-taking the practice exams until I could get all 100 right in my sleep.
You'll be good to go.
 
what is V-SOUL exam? can anyone share the link please
 
My interview was back in mid-March at Expo Blvd.
Then in early April, I received a request for information- they need a US border entry/exit report from CBP.
The report finally arrived on Sunday and I forwarded it to the IRCC office in Vancouver as requested.

Hopeful this is the last delay in the process.
 
I have a question for those of you who did your interview in Vancouver office (EXPO Boulevard). During the interview, did they ask you to fill out an extra form regarding prohibition? in my case, there was only a long page which all of my application information was there and office asked me to read the bottom and sign it. Was it the same for you guys?

Thanks!
