Citizenship interview- over 55 years

[S61Ar]

I am 63 years age ,I submitted my file in August 2024, I received an interview letter on email
Many people donot receive that , not sure why I got that, I had 1102 days in total for last 5 years
Would it mean they have some concerns on my application or eligibility to become a Canadian citizen ?
Also I am currently in India , and the interview is virtual, could I request them for a the interview from India

Tracker updated for spouse's application with note that interview required and scheduled for end May (no email notice yet).

My only guess so far as to reason is a lot of travel and related (more than one passport for a country that allows more than one). Who knows though? Wouldn't be language etc as not applicable (age).

If it is the travel question (and physical presence) from my perspective a good sign as at least it's moving. We've no concerns about the physical presence, documentation more than in order, even though applied with just a few days over 1100. (There was one exit not...

So since your situation is presumably different, it may touch on different topics.
