What to expect at finalization interview

[marieinmexico]

Hi all,
I applied for PR inland spousal sponsorship in July 2018, just received my "eligibility passed" letter, and the letter saying "processing has been completed" and I should wait for the Vancouver office to contact me for "finalization". Is this the spousal interview? What can I expect at that meeting? Should I be studying something or preparing something for it? Thanks for any help!
best,
marie

It's a landing interview and nothing to worry about. They will ask you a handful of straightforward questions. Nothing to prepare for.

Just to echo what the previous responder said.

Yes, they will send you a 'landing interview date', time and location.

Is this the spousal interview?

No

What can I expect at that meeting?

The letter they send will tell you what to do. You will need to go with your sponsor and take the documents they ask for in the letter with you. They will ask 2 or 3 very simple questions, like 'Have you been convicted of any crime in the last year' etc. - basically just to make sure nothing hugely major has happened to you since you originally applied.

Should I be studying something or preparing something for it?

No. Nothing to study for! Just answer the VERY simple and perfunctory questions and you will be 'landed' and become PR!​
