My landing and my day :-* :-* :-*
The landing interview was scheduled at the CIC Scarborough office at 8:15am this morning. We arrived, went to the 3rd floor and waited at the front waiting area until an immigration officer came out with an announcement. She asked for those people waiting to land to come into the court room. Half of the people waiting went inside. The other half was there to write the citizenship test.
Once everyone was seated, the officer spent a few minutes explaining the procedure of the landing interview, and she showed us the Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) that we will be getting. She went over the information printed on the COPR and asked that we notify her immediately if we find any mistakes. There was a second officer present helping out with the interviews.
After the explanation, the two officers handed out the COPR forms. Then the interviews were underway. I was surprised that the interviews were conducted in the same court room in front of everyone else who were waiting.
When it came to our turn, we went up to the front of the courtroom and sat in front of the officer. The lady was very nice and courteous. She asked me my passport and photo. She also asked my wife for a photo ID. Then she asked me the following questions:
1. Do you have any dependent children living in or outside Canada?
2. Are you still living at the address shown on the COPR?
3. Have you committed any crimes or have been deported by Immigration Canada?
After that, the officer asked me to sign the COPR and she attached the photo to the top copy. She then filed that away and gave us the bottom copy. She congratulated us and said everything is done.
Thanks to god
hope to hear smth from CIC this or next week.
