Hi Everyone,

When do they tell you if you have got your residency or not? I have received conflicting reports saying that they tell you immed after the interview in the NY consulate itself or they send you a letter in the mail notifying you if you have recd your residency later on.

I am now confused as to when you really come to know after your interview about their decision.

thanks.

when do you know for sure? after you present yourself at a port of entry, are examined by an immigration officer, satisfy him/her that you still meet the requirements, and land as a permanent resident...

because technically you dont "get it" till you land in canada as a permanent resident... and can still be refused prior to landing even if you get the immigrant visa (if you dont have settlement funds for example)..

as for decisions after an interview as to the next step, it varies from visa post and the officer involved... some let you know right then, some send a letter...
