After submitting the inland common-law sponsorship application mid January, surprisingly, it took only 8 month!
"Dear Client, We are pleased to inform you that the processing of your application for permanent residence will be finalized at an interview that is scheduled for [Time] on [Date]. Your interview will be conducted at: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada – Toronto (Etobicoke)"
There's not much im being told to bring, only passport and 2 "passport" style photos and payment receipt.
Can someone point me to other threads with a walk through with what's about to happen? Questions people typically or have experienced?
I hear that being called in for an interview is a bad sign, in terms of officers believing the relationship is genuine and "admissibility issues" Is this true?
Could it be the case that the nerve-racking interview portion may be skipped? Is it likely? I've read that a couple went in to finalize their PR, prep for the interview, but were simply shuffled through the process simply and quickly. Without any spooky questions
What step-by-step, exactly happens from between the time i enter the building and leave? What information should i be prepared to recall on the spot. I've got awful memory and i dont think the officers are going to care. So it may be awkward trying to remember my social security number (I'm USA), passport info or exact details, without my smart phone.
How do i gracefully answer questions that i don't know, but should probably know? My spouse (Can citz) never talks about his family, his dreams, his fears. He's got this "wall" and so, i don't think i really know about some of the more depressing things he seems to only share when he's particularly upset... like a brief rundown of how school bulling affected the way he behaves. It's hard to think saying "I don't know" won't sit well with them. Or floundering for an answer.
Much appreciated to any answers in what the Canadian government has made: the most important trial and tribulation in our lives together.
