What do you guys think is next? They haven’t told us if our interview was a pass. Do you think it is a good sign and what will be the next step and how long?

Salams. Within 15days from the date medical results are uploaded, you will first see Final Decision section in IRCC secure account, getting a date stamp.
That should be followed by COPR number appearing in the tracker. And lastly Passport request.
How soon all of this will take place?
I hope its next 15 days, but the way they have handled your file, looks more like 1-2 months. Pls don't buy tickets till you get your passport in hand with the visa. Some ppl get it within 5days, some are getting it back after a month. CIC is a gold standard for randomness.

Do you think the interview was a pass?

I'm Curious, why did they require interview from you? Any reason you can think of which prompted an interview?
May I know what did they ask in interview? Was there any question they kept repeating?

There was something personal in my own immigration history. Not really related to my marriage. But I already knew I would be questioned about it during spousal application.

When our eligibility started, I requested, GCMS notes and the officer had stated that he was convinced the marriage was genuine but required an interview to confirm something.

When they questioned my wife, they asked questions to check if our marriage was genuine and they were satisfied. Especially with all our trips and voluntary submission of photos and documents.

However, when they questioned me, they simply and directly asked me about my past application and the information within it, I answered it and that was it. They didn’t keep questioning it or asking the same thing again, but verbally clarified whatever they wanted to. So interviewing my wife was a formality, but interviewing me was the main reason. My interview was 15 mins at most.

Brother! Was it a tourist visa maybe that you submitted in past and got rejected or had a concern? Because my application seems like it is stuck and I am wondering if the TRV i applied in the past and got rejected could be the reason. This TRV i applied before applying for Spousal PR. I am just trying to cross match. I also have another history, my wife being a canadian contacted the canadian global watch and she asked for their help in making our child's passport fast so she can go back to canada after she had a child in pakistan and they did make it urgent and it worked. Is it something similar maybe? You dont have to say what is different with you but if you can with knowledge that you have highlight if I should also be expecting an interview or not for any of these 2 past happs with Canada. JazakAllah

Simple answer is....NOTHING.
For your own satisfaction, yes you can send webform. Ask them why its taking 12 months, when cic shows updated processing time as 10 months.
Call your MPs office. Request them to provide the same info.
Other than that, its simply wait and see game.

My wife’s TRV was rejected too. That’s not an issue at all. The issue was with circumstances under which I had obtained my permanent residency. That’s all. The things you have mentioned are not issues at all. Unless you provide conflicting information, but I doubt that’s the case.

You’ll hear back soon. In shaa Allah! Stay hopeful.

Thank you for sharing in detail.
I certainly hope and believe that your interview was a pass, cuz firstly, decision made appeared on June 5th, same date as interview. Secondly, they asked for medicals after the interview.
So inshaAllah your wife will be getting the Passport request pretty soon.

Hey Guys, just found this petition going around and I request everyone to sign it. Not sure if its going to do much but there's no harm in trying. https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-4800

SIGNED!!

Pakistanis PLS SIGN THE PETITION ABOVE. Pls raise ur voice to ur MPs.

There is systematic delay in processing PR of Pakistani spouses and numerous rejection if TRVs of Spouses.
