Do not worry about the first interview. This is a very basic interaction that involves mostly administrative tasks that should not take a lot of time.

I was planning to do it but i asked many people about it but they said u cant apply asylum at transit flight.by the way if you applied refguee at airport the process to transfer to irb it will faster than land port entry but u need to be prepared and know the story of your narrative of boc because i know someone applied at airport they stay 7 or 8 hours investigate with cbsa.contact consultant

Meeting with CBSA: September 26,2023

Once I applied refguee claimant in border they ask basic question and they give me acknowledge letter and medical letter and entery for further examination TBD and entery to complete examination.

at CBSA meeting they didn't ask me anything and she just took all documents I got in border exclusive seziure letter and including with requested documents i fill it as per below :
IMM0008 - Schedule 12
IMM0008DEP – Additional Dependents
IMM5669 - Schedule A
IMM0008 – Generic Application

From that time i didnt recieved any call or emails from them.I requested GCMS notes and i found that last time my file updated October 12,2023 and background check and and org crime and HIRV in progress.
Primary office:Coutts
Secondly office: OSC- operation support centre
Today I recieve email from cbsa for scheduled interview at april with Immigration Officer.

Please share with me the duration of interview that normally takes place and what questions should I expect from them.
