PR interviews
Am looking for some insights as to what to expect, my husband has been approved for sponsorship for myself and my daughter. We have now been requested to go for our 'final' interviews for permanent residence. We have met all the requirements, passed medicals, police checks. Am wondering what the interview will entail, questions etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, we have waited 3 long years to get to this stage and want everything to go smoothly.

Re: PR interviews
It was an in Canada application which we submitted 3 years ago, August 2013.

Re: PR interviews
Obviously I cannot say for sure, but this sounds like the interview that all in Canada applicants are invited to in order to finalize their PR applications and become PRs.

Re: PR interviews
It sounds like your landing interview to me!
I was an inland applicant and had my "landing interview" at a local office. They required my sponsor to be there and either proof of paying the RoPR Fee or else the funds to pay it there and then.
We were called into a room where the Immigration Officer made us feel totally at ease by joking around; we were asked if anything had changed, were we still married / living together etc., then they bought out the form and asked me to check that it was correct and confirm specific items.
If I recall correctly, it was
1) Colour of eyes
2) No arrests or criminal charges since application
3) No changes to circumstances (baby, divorce, marriage or what have you)
4) Was everyone included in my application
Then I was asked to sign within the white box, a copy was placed into my passport and I got a handshake and 'Welcome to Canada'.
Best of luck with your landing interview!

Re: PR interviews
It does sound like that as my husband, our sponsor has to be there. Thank you and I am hoping that's all it will be, I think its just the fear of the unknown and the fact that a complete stranger has this much power over our life decisions!

Hi Annashep
Pretty sure it is your landing interview. My son and his common-law partner had their interview in Calgary last week. They applied inland in Nov 2015 and received PR last week. My son the sponsor was asked a few questions on the sponsor form and then his partner was asked the same questions. They were done and dusted in 10 minutes.
