Hello dear here is no one right now all of them are in Canada now.
You will get no reply from them.
Dear All,
When I was informed of my exit interview I also took to the internet to find out what this interview is and I only found this thread by Rahim Khan but unfortunately, I couldn't find much information that actually helped me in my queries. So here is my experience for all those who will ponder upon this thread in search of what an exit interview actually is in the future. This is based on my experience and the conversations I had with the IOM reps present at the airport. So here we go!
I j was asked to report to the airport at 8 am in the morning for an exit interview. I and my family were there on time. The IOM representatives didn't show up until 12 that afternoon. So expect a long wait! I don't know if this was commonplace but one Afghan said that his family got the same treatment and that the interviews started at 12 and finished late in the evening. The exit interview is actually not a Canadian embassy initiative but one imposed by the FIA Pakistan. The interviews are done by Pakistani FIA officials and not IOM or Canadian embassy officials. The reason behind this interview is actually quite simple "Identify Afghans". Many Afghans crossed the border illegally and are staying in Pakistan illegally. Some of these Afghans might not have proper documentation like Tazkiras and Passports to confirm their identities so the FIA wants to make sure that only Afghans are leaving through the airport and other people are not manipulating the system i.e citizens of Pakistan. When you show up for the interview and the IOM officials show up. They will ask you to make two separate lines. People who have Pakistani entry stamps and ones who don't. If you have acquired a visa to illegally enter Pakistan your passport number will be matched against a list and the entry date will be noted. You will be asked to leave without an interview because you don't need it. Your passport and the visa you acquired along with the entry stamp is enough confirmation that you actually are an Afghan and FIA doesn't need further questioning. However, if you are in Pakistan illegally and have crossed the border illegally then they would ask you to stay and the FIA will interview you. I have been told that it is a simple interview just to determine that you are an Afghan and they ask you reasons why you left Afghanistan. I asked the IOM what is next and he said that they will work on exit permits for people who have expired visas and work on ticketing and flights. Although, he graciously gave me this information he said he is not representing CIC so he doesn't know if this will the final stage of the required process. IRCC will determine each individual's case and if they deem it necessary they might request additional processing. All of this has been my personal experience and has been based on word of mouth but I think it is much more comprehensive than anything else you will find on the internet about this particular process. I hope this helps. Best of luck!
Thank you so much for this comprehensive and detailed reply. I wish you best of luck with whatever you do ahead.
