I’m not sure exactly but maybe I had a long and frequent travel history to US because pf my job. It’s my speculation
December 2024 - Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter trackerCan-Cit
- Start date
what's the process for itnerview do they tell you the dates, or you can select one according to your convenience?
They provide a date and time and online link for the interview, if you can't make it, you're to contact them.

Actually every year we used to go for 1 month. Not sure if that is a long travel history.
In our case, we got an update today saying the bg check is complete, but prohibitions and physical presence are still pending, those are the only two. Do they usually take longer? Is the application still non routine if bg check is complete? I applied in Dec 2024
Did you get a notice and can't see the link? Or you're just curious?
In our case it was online and email text started with this line under the title 'notice to appear':
I cannot attest that all interviews are online or invites formulated this way - although I suspect it's standard and routine. Links were, of course, in the attachments, along with other instructions and relevant info.
I am just curious. My application has been pending LPP since Feb 2025.
@armoured Got a notice to appear. Please did they ask to see your physical documents during the online interview or just asked questions?How long did it last? Thank you.
Here was our experience, in somewhat more length:
They did ask to show biopages of passports (yes, plural) on the call (we'd provided scans of all pages prior to call). All the rest was oral, and brief. About only thing I'd add from that summary is that (I now recall) officer asked/clarified that now in Canada and residing in Canada, that seemed to be important.
Not that I think this technically changed anything, but perhaps made it 'easier'/comforting that spouse would meet physical presence anyway. (Although applicants required to meet physical presence as of date of application and officer must confirm - well, it's obvious that it's of less consequence for someone residing in Canada full time, they could always just re-apply).
No movement on file since the physical presence turned green - but still well within timeframe the officer mentioned, so basically expected.
