Interview? This is new.. Do you know why did they call you out for an interview?
Hi There,
I don't know what caused this additional step. But I know it has happened in 2018 for few folks...

Here are few examples


The above thread started confirmed that he got a similar interview invite here

Both these thread starter belongs to CEC Inland

I also saw some note about WP expiry , My wife's work permit is valid till 2020 June, so that did not cause this additional step for her. Anyways I will post updates after May 7th to let you all know if this was a good thing or a bad thing

I have a friend who went through this interview, but in Ottawa.

She's Russian, CEC inland and applied with her husband (who's a student). She applied in September and got the interview email in February. Her work permit was indeed about to expire a month from the email, but she could have extended it easily (since her husband is a student).

It's just another form of landing. No need to send passports or to wait for visa. But it's only for inland applicants I assume. My friend had one last year too.

I haven’t received BIL instructions as well, and I am also worried. My details are
FSW-OutlandCountry -USA
AOR-30th January
MEP-14th March

Although I am Outland, I am in Canada at the moment and I just extended my visiting status in February. So I am not sure if that is why I have not received BIL.
If you have submitted biometrics as part of your visitor/tourist visa, you probably won't need to resubmit them again.
