Hello all. I am in the process of a conjugal sponsorship. Application was submitted Dec 2018. My partner was invited for an interview at the Manila VO. We have been together for 5 years.We submitted pics and communication/texts dating back to 2014. Ive visited 12 times since 2014 and submitted all the flight reicepts and boarding passes. She was denied a Canada TRV in 2015 so they have record we both applied in 2015
The letter said the following....
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada. Following a review of your application, it has been determined that an interview with a migration officer will be required to assess whether you meet the requirements for a permanent resident visa. We have scheduled an interview for you on ##############. at the Visa Section of the Embassy of Canada in Manila which is located at Tower 2, RCBC Plaza, Ayala Avenue, Makati City. Please bring the following with you to your interview: o Printed copy of this interview letter o Two (2) valid IDs o Additional proof of relationship and communication with your sponsor from the start of your relationship until present. Please do not submit duplicate copies of documents that were already submitted. If you are unable to keep the appointment we have made for you, please send an email explaining the exceptional reasons preventing you from attending your scheduled interview. We will consider your request and reply to you. Please note that failure to attend the interview for reasons not deemed to be exceptional will result in the assessment of your application based on the documentation contained in your file which may lead to a refusal of your application.
I spoke to my lawyer telling him my partner has an interview with an officer at the VO. He said the officer probably wants to make sure we are still together (hence the requesting of communications from beginning until now) and also inquire about what my partner plans to do with her 2 unaccompanying children when she goes to Canada.
I realize conjugal sponsorship is the trickiest so maybe thats another reason why an interview was requested.
If anyone feels like voicing their opinion as to other reasons an interview was requested I'd love to hear them! Thanks in advance
