Hi! Please I need help!
I’m applying for a spousal sponsorship, my husband is Canadian
I was before asking for asylum and it was denied after appeals and because of that I lost my status, we start the sponsorship just months after and we completed all the steps that are required, we are supposed to be in background check and this weekend I received a letter from the border of Canada that they are calling me for an interview to update my file!! We are really nervous and anxious because we don’t know what this means, please if someone knows something I would appreciate your help!!!

Did you get AIP for your spousal sponsorship ?

Did you get AIP for your spousal?

Sorry for my question but what is that? The Atlantic immigration program? No, we didn’t

AIP is Approval in principle. It's when the applicant have a partial approval to become Permanent Resident. They need only to process your background check before a full approval. I have not idea what kind interview you are talking about it. You should be more clear about the steps that you have done and plus the type of Letter your got it.

The letter is from CBSA asking me to go for a interview in person to “update my profile”, the information I’ve been reading on the internet it says is because I lost my status and they want to know what I am doing and if I’m still being with my husband, to decide if they let the process to continue.
I’ve done all the steps with my lawyer, from AOR to Police certificate, biometrics, everything, we were just waiting for the approval, I also received the CSQ because I’m in Quebec, we have everything done besides the background check and approval of PR

Do you have AIP or only AOR?

Assuming you filed the Inland sponsorship application, since the requirement to have legal status is waived. However..until you reach the all important AIP (approval in Principal) step, you are at a greater risk of having `issues'.

The interview is likely to determine whether you can remain in Canada during the sponsorship application and if you can remain in Canada what regular contact schedule will be required with CBSA. The fact that you applied in Quebec creates more of a problem because processing is longer and depending on when you applied it could be over a year until your sponsorship application is fully processed.
