I got a email from CIC last week that my PR application has been fully processed. It also said that I’ll be contacted by an office in my province to fix an appointment and finalize my application. I have not heard from them after that.

I need to urgently travel overseas in the third week of May

My questions are:
1. Does anyone have experience with this sort of interview? (For an In-Canada Family PR Application)
2. Approx. how long will it take for CIC to get back to me regarding the appointment?
3. Will they fix the appointment date or can I choose a date?
4. If they fix the date during the trip I have planned, is it possible to request them to move appointment after my trip?

Those are examples of the questions that are asked at an interview where the visa officer has doubts about the relationship (before a positive DM is issued).

The typical questions for the landing interview/appointment are:

Has your marital or family situation changed (marriage,divorce, birth of a child)?

Have you been charged with a crime?

Have you been told to leave Canada?

With an inland landing interview it is really not advisable for you to not be 'available' for it. You and your spouse will both be expected to be there. If you do not show up, they will likely issue you another date, provided you have a good reason why you can't make it, but it will be at their leisure, not your request so you could potentially delay your official landing by months. Also, if you don't advise them that you won't be there in advance, with good cause, you risk them just closing out your application as abandoned. You don't pick a date/time they send the letter to your listed address, if you aren't there to pick it up, and your interview is for say 24 or 48 hours later, is that a risk you are willing to take?

I have a similar question: I did my medical exam on March 16th. Now the online status showing medical results received.

I am waiting for my DM but I have an urgent matter that comes up in June, which requires me to travel out of Canada for four months. I have emailed CIC asking for advice, with no reply. I have tried to call CIC call centre, no luck reaching any agent there either.

My questions are:
1. Is interview manatory for all in-land spousal sponsorship applications?
2. When getting the letter from CIC scheduling the interview, does it provide a contact that I could actually talk to or Email directly to explain reasons of absence, and ask for extension?
