I hope it is nothing bad. Maybe it is best to contact your rep if there is no way for you to check GCKey account. Find out what the letter is about first. It might not be bad news. Let us know what happens!
Normally they never deny someone by letter, there is always an interview first. Should not be anything bad but get your rep to verify asap and keep us informed
 
hello Majesty,

hope you had a great time with partner.

when or how did you get the info about the interview? did it appear on your notes?

I log in to the ecas today and found an update but its giving me concerns. Line number 8 was added recently and i don't know what the letter says as it was sent two days ago. PR application still says In Progress.
I am freaking out.


  1. We received your application for permanent residence on.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on April.
  3. We started processing your application on March.
  4. Medical results have been received.
  5. We sent you correspondence on January. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
  6. We sent you correspondence on March. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
  7. We sent you correspondence on April. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
  8. We sent you a letter on December. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

BTW we found out about the interview through our MP. Their office emailed IRCC. On Dec. 1 MP's office told us that the officer there said that we were in queue for an interview. After that I emailed the VO to confirm. They sent us back an email saying that we were indeed in queue for an interview and that there is nothing more to do on our part at this time. That was it. There is not mention of this in our eCAS nor GCKey account. It still says that we don't need an interview. However, nothing has been updated on eCAS since May 26, which was to indicate we got AOR2. On GCKey account, nothing has been updated since March 3, which was when they sent us correspondence to submit schedule A etc.
 
Oh that blows. Cant your rep tell you?
Yes it could be, interview arrives about 30 prior to your date and you have like a week to confirm you will attend.
I just send them an email i don't think they will replay today, I will have to wait until Monday i think.

Thank you for asking!!!

Unfortunately nothing yet... :( Not even the “accepted” status nor anything. His flight is this Thursday, and mine is on the Dec 30. He wants to go to the Embassy today in person, at least just to ask if they actually needed our passports or not... (because the email we received was kind of “weird”... with no UCI numbers, no address to send the pps, just his name and EE number). Besides, he wants to know if he should change the flights, or cancel the trip.

I honestly think that they will send him back (they are too busy!) But I least he will try.

The waiting is killing us! :confused:

Gracias Manzana!!!

The wait continues. Only God can touch the hearts of the persons in charge of our files. Cheers!

I was going through some old posts from the "Spousal Sponsorship Interview Questionnaires, Experience, Preparations" thread and one applicant who got an interview had this line in his eCAS:

We sent you a letter on February 19, 2016. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us. (INTERVIEW LETTER)

He indicated at the end that it was for his interview letter. This is pretty much the exactly the content of your line #8. So it may very well be that this letter is a request for your husband to attend an interview.

Just wanted to share this with you.

thank you, I sincerely hope is interview, i mean is not ideal but i am scared to receive bad news(rejection) so at this point an interview is good sign we are close to the end. I am with my husband now and i will be with him for few months so i will definitely attend with him. We'll see what's next. at least they contacted us before the holidays en before the year mark.

I would be happy if it is the interview letter because as you said, you should have a date for when this process is going to end.

Enjoy your Christmas with your husband! Keep us posted about what you find out from your lawyer.
