Spousal Sponsorship Interview Questionaires, Experience, Preparations

[Hasan9999]

I am wondering, I have not received anything about an interview, but if I am from the United States and am currently with my husband in Scarborough, ON where would they probably send me? I can't find it on cic for interview places, and I can't seem to find it now

Well if you are from USA and have submitted your application complying with CIC guidelines, it is most unlikely that you will be called for an interview.

I was hoping someone can help me out. My wife has a interview at NDVO (new delhi) in a few weeks.

What kind of questions can she expect? And what does she need to take with her when she goes? What proofs will be useful to prove our case at the interview.

Hi,

Typical interview questions have been posted in the old pages of this thread. You can browse through old pages to have some ideas on expected questions.

In the interview letter they have specifically advised to bring certain documents. Apart from those documents, she can bring any other relationship proofs including recent photos with you, vouchers against payments received from you, recent communication chat logs etc.

The answers must match with what you have submitted to them. Both of you should be on the same page in regard to any questions asked.

Are you attending with her? Did you guys properly address red flags, if any, for which the interview scheduled?

Ask your wife to stay calm, positive and well prepared!

Good luck!

Hasan

Hello Guys
My wife just had an interview yesterday May 9th 2016. Her interview was from 2 Pm. She had an intense interview. It lasted more than 1.5 hours. After she went in, the officer started asking the questions below. Meanwhile she did a cross reference with her Aunt and her Work place. Both went well. **** This is something completely new****. The officer asked my wife to see her phone. She took her outside to get the phones. She went with her. My wife had 2 phones. The officer went through each and every single pictures in the phone, Text messaged, Viber messages, call records. She also went to her Face book on both phones. My wife has my face book in another phone. She asked why do you have his face book. She had over 3000 pictures and went through all of them and also the hard copy pictures which were like 250 of them. She made the interpreter read the text message and confirm that those are husband wife type text message. She also checked her email inbox and everything. She also said there are not enough messages. My wife said we mostly talk over the viber and I have the bills and proofs. She didn’t want to see. The interpreter confirmed to her that all the messages are ok and they are like couple type messages. Some 6th sense worked in my wife and she deleted all the text that I wrote about the preparation of the interview. She also took my cell number. My uncle was sitting outside. She brought my wife outside and my wife introduced her to my uncle. She only said hi and how are you. My wife asked how my interview was. She said we will verify some more and let you know. She took her police certificate and 3 updated forms. I am assuming she will call me to verify everything. The whole time she was actually looking at my emails I sent them and asking question from there because my wife saw it. In this whole forum I have never seen any officer go through these Face books and pictures in the phone. This was really wired. My wife had good interview. She answered all the questions and cross reference all matched. Only thing now I have to wait to get a call from them or I am hoping to get medical request soon. Please pray for me and good luck to rest of you guys.

Thanks for the reply hasan. Actually I am not sure at all why we got an interview. We don't really have any red flags in our case but I think it may be because we didn't stay together for too long after the wedding.

That story about them going through her phone and facebook is really crazy!!

 

[FairyRaichu]

Well if you are from USA and have submitted your application complying with CIC guidelines, it is most unlikely that you will be called for an interview.

Hasan

Oh thank you that's relieving.

 

[OhCanada77]

I guess the facebook thing makes sense really as everyone conducts so much of their life on it!

 

[jupiter16]

THANK YOU HASSAN VAI.

In majority cases, yes.

However, they might ask to provide any additional documents deemed necessary to proof the relationship with the sponsor.

Hasan

 

[PreetiStephen]

Thank you Hassan,

This is what CIC requested to us which looks generic email -

Required Documentation


You must bring the following documents to the interview for each person included in your
application:

· Original individual passports for each family member included in the application, regardless
of age;

person included in your application together with certified translations into English or French:

· Birth, death, marriage, divorce document(s) as applicable to your case, if not already
submitted;

· Documentary evidence that establishes your relationship to your sponsor and each of your
dependants' relationship to you (e.g., original birth certificates, school documents with
parents' names, ration card);

· In the case of dependent students older than 19, all diplomas, mark sheets and other
documents demonstrating continuous full-time studies since the age of 19;

· If sponsored by your husband, wife, common-law or conjugal partner, bring your
engagement and wedding photographs and wedding invitation cards, if available. Also bring
all evidence of communication with your sponsor, e.g. cards / letters, telephone bills. This

Hi Hasan,

My wife got almost the same e-mail. I was wondering, I am the sponsor, does she need to take my birth certificate as well?

And another thing, the e-mail that my wife got has a line at the bottom that says "The natural parent(s) or guardian must come with applicant for interview". Does this mean my wife's parents have to go with her? I find this very wierd, hope someone can clarify things for me.

Hello ,

"The natural parent(s) or guardian must come with applicant for interview". Does this mean my wife's parents have to go with her?


This is applicable only if you have any children and he or she is under 18 in this situation parents must go for the interview with their children.

This is not applicable for your wife. She can go her interview without her parents.

Hope it will help you.

Farhana
