Check out the Buffalo thread - there's posts like http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/search-results/-t41886.0.html;msg890586;topicseen#msg890586  and http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/search-results/-t41886.0.html;msg642192;topicseen#msg642192 where people share their experiences.   Take a look also at http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/search-results/-t41886.0.html;msg458102;topicseen#msg458102, although your experience may involve fewer people as Buffalo is closing its doors to same-day non-immigrant applicants.

   Well, that doesn't seem that scary.  Was extremely nervous. My time will come soon enough I'm sure.
   I can answer those quickly and easily. Is there such thing as too quickly?  Our relationship is genuine and I can answer these quickly and with confidence, not because I have rehearsed them but because I genuinely know my partner.  But I don't want to look as though I have rehearsed them either.  Yes I am a worrywart. Sorry.

Chances are you won't have to answer these questions because you won't need an interview. Interviews are only called when CIC suspects the relationship isn't genuine.
