My husband a Canadian Citizen has sponsored me and my children under the Family Pilot
Project scheme. I live in India. The time line so far has been:
Mid March- Application sent by my husband to processing centre in Canada.
1st week Apr- receive letter confirming receipt of application
End May- receive letter to say that the application to sponsor wife and family has
been approved, however, after careful review of wifes immigration application it
appears that an interview will be required in order to determine if she meets the
requirements for immigration to Canada.
I have been divorced earlier and have full custody of my children. I have several
years of work experience in very good positions and companies.
I would like to know ,
1) now that the Pilot scheme has been withdrawn w.e.f. June 2001, how long would it
be before I am called for the interview.
2) What could the reason be behind my interview, I had the impression that under the
Pilot scheme there was a waiver on interviews.
3) what kind of questions could they pose
4) what documents should I prepare myself with
5) Might I expect the visas to be issued immediately after the interview.
Thank you

Hello,
Since no one has bothered to answered your question, let me take a shot at it. I am
an independent category immigrant, so all my knowledge is simply acquired through
reading this newsgroup for a long time.
It seems that there is a lot of grief for Indian marriages that seem
"non-traditional". For example, I have read numerous examples of visa denied for
spousal immigration if a hindu couple did not have a traditional hindu ceremony.
Pretty horrible and antiquated!
My guess would be that since your marriage too sounds a little untraditional (now
which self-respecting canadian immigration official can accept an Indian woman
marrying twice?), they want to check you out to see if the marriage looks authentic.
Be armed with documents that prove authenticity of your marriage. Letters, emails,
photographs, other correspondence, possibly character references from people who know
you/hubby and are clearly in honorable position, especially if they are canadian. Try
to bring evidence to show that you are not a "traditional" hindu woman, and hence
your remarriage is not entirely out-of-line. i.e., you are not faking it just to get
a canadian greencard.
You can go to the following URL at TCS Cabada's immigration site and professionals
will answer your question. Goodluck!!!
