Thanks all my friends! So now I think I can safely discard those bank statements! :) It must be some rumors that I overheard that bank statements are recommended to be preserved for residence record purpose. Now I think this issue is clear.

So the conclusion is I can throw those bank statements away? Are they really useless? In addition, I would think that electronic evidence is still not admissible when dealing with the government, isn't it?

I've been accumulating bank statements every month from my bank, which bear my address in Canada. I heard that this can serve as proof of continuous residence in Canada. Is this true? Can any expert friend here advise me? I really hate this as I am a paperless person. Keeping a lot of paper...

Hi Thalia may I ask a question? Is "in process" before or after medical request? I would assume that VO first change your status into "in process", then if everything is fine, they will request medical checks from you. Is this right? How long does it normally take for our March applicants? Many...

Thank you Thalia, for your prompt help. What about AOR by the VO? Will it be email or regular mail?

Dear seniors, may I ask a question here? My current status is ER completed, and my case was sent to local VO now. According to the valuable information here, the next step will be RBVO. Will I receive anything when it changes status? Will it be an email like the PER, or regular mail? My VO is...

Thanks siddharth. I know MED and PCC, but what does "PPR/RPRF" mean? Thanks.

I have just received my PER, what should I expect next? Medical request from my Visa Office? What if there is an interview? Will the interview come first or the medical come first? Thanks.

What will be the next after a positive PER? If there is an interview, will it come first or the medical request come first? Thanks.

Thanks very much. One more question, is it very normal for a NER? Or it is relatively rare and not extremely strict?

Thanks Thalia. Is there going to be an AOR before PER after my credit card has been encashed? Or I won't hear anything from CIO until PER? Thanks.

I've sent my application package to CIO with my credit card information, and I checked yesterday that a $550 fee has been just charged. However, I haven't heard anything from CIO yet. What should I expect next? Does this fee charge mean anything (positive or negative or purely neutral)? How long...

Hi Baloo, thanks for your advice. My rationale is like this: expected utility = expected value X chances of success If the VO chose anybody to do an interview, the fact that this person has been chosen is a good indicator that the chances of success is already very low. If the expected value of...

Then I think if I was called to an interview, the rational choice would be ignore it? Considering the flight tickets and the likelihood that the visa officer would issue a "yes" after the interview, I think any risk neutral individual would not go. ;) By the way, could you paste a link to some...

So my reading is that you can negotiate with them and try to conduct the interview through the phone. Am I right?

That sounds like family class though, I am applying Federal Skilled Worker class. Is there a dedicated official document addressing interview conditions for FSW? Thanks a lot!

Oh really??? What factors normally lead up to an interview? I am not worrying about the interview per se. But considering the costs, it may not be worth it. CIC sometimes just assumes everything is free of costs on the applicant's part. :'(

Hi weddingtonite, does it mean I don't need to do anything, the interview, if there is one, will automatically be scheduled according the the mailing address label that I sent to CIO with my application package? Thank you.

Hi Salim Bhai, I am very interested in the possibility that you mentioned. How likely is such a request of location change be accepted? Is there any official source that addressing this issue? Thank you.

Does it have to be conducted in person? I mean, if I am in Canada and the VO is in Beijing, can we do some video telecommunication interview? Many companies have adopted it already, why not CIC think in the applicants' shoes in this regard? :'(
