NEW DELHI - 2013 APPLICANTS.

[abhishekgoel007]

Thank you Forum members - erstwhile and current. My wife got the visa and CIC has updated the status. It was scary because they gave us all our papers and her passport after the interview and we thought the worst. I flew down after just 20 days back to India for the interview and they did not even talk to me.. My flight back to Canada after less than 2 days was not quite enjoyable.... Then it all changed.....After we submitted the required papers, they asked for the passport again and gave the visa....

Good luck to you all....We pray for your imminent successes.

Here is someone's interview experience.

Sponsor husband is 62 years old and wife applicant is 30.
Applicant arrived in Canada under a work permit in June 2009.
2 weeks after, she met her (now husband for 3 years and 4 months).
Got married on sept. Of 2010
Applied inland in nov. 2010
File tranferred from vegreville to edmonton in oct. 2011
Reasons: age gap, short courtship, doubting if our marriage is genuine, asking if i'm married back home. That i did not declare my son when i applied for a visa to come to canada.

"Sept. 12,2013- interview day- we arrived at cic edmonton very prepared! Did not even feel nervous at all! We are confident and we know that what we need to do is to show who we really are!

My interview lasted for 1 hr and 15 min.
Questions asked:
What is my name, bday, my parents name
What is my husbands name, birthday, parents name, siblings and where they live.
Where and when we meet?
Who proposed, describe the moment
When and where is our wedding?
How many people attended? Names of attendees, reception?
1st date? Where when, what we ordered?
Are we sexually active?
Do we want to have kids?
Name of my son, names of my husbands daughter, names of grandkids
How is the relationship between my husband and son

And then suddenly the io stopped typing because she said the computer stopped working. So we started again from the very beginning. I think for me this is to test if i will answer the questions the same thing.

Then, she asked me 3 times in different ways , where do i work, she probably want to make sure that i am not working anywhere else.

Describe our apartment
Who pay bills ?
Where does my husband work?
How much salary?
Do i send money to my home country? How much?
She asked if I'm in Canada
Asked if i have a criminal record or convicted

At the end of the interview, she just said that the only reason why our file was transferred is because of our age gap. Then i said, i know! Lol! I said that , when we applied in 2010, we did not even know that there are red flags like that. What we presented them is the real us!

Then i showed some personal stuff like the crosstitch i made as a birthday gift for my husbands grand daughter, cards from friends and family. Our wedding invitation.

And that's it!

Then it's my husband's turn!!

His interview lasted for 45 minutes. And he was asked the same questions and he answered the same as mine with a little bit of elaboration lol!

When the io told him that our file was tranferred because of age gap, he told the io that this has been happening eversince, just like cleopatra and julis ceasar, charlie chaplin and his wife oona etc. etc. that was the killer answer! Lol!
The io was smiling while typing this my husband said!

All in all the interview went well! The atmosphere inside the interview room was very non threatening, it was actually full of laughter. Me and my husband are very happy people by nature! So i think we really gave a positive vibes inside the interview room.

Exactly 1 month after the interview, oct12,2013, i received an email requesting for medical examination. Then aip and owp arrived on oct. 16.

Medical examination done Oct. 23, 2013.

cic received medical Oct. 31, 2013 "

Hope this is a little helpful as to what visa officers ask and could do during the interview.

Can we send email to ndvo with consent form instead of representative hiring form

What is the Consent form for? What will you be emailing NDVO?

I think the rep hiring form is when you are giving the responsibilities to someone to manage your application, but he or she is not the sponsor or the applicant. So it is not relevant.

consent form which one we use for gcms notes. I want to get the status of application. I am so frustrated.
