Canadian Embassy Interview Process?

hello,

yes i forgot....when you enter at the door where there are guards in it...they will ask you or you can tell them for interview (purpose) and then they will give you a number... then you can sit and you can see a big screen in front of you showing the what number and on what booth you have to go....

by the way where in canada are you?

regards, Lyn

just go there early and just wait for your number....i was interviewed around 3:00pm....so you better come early...

Thanks

I'm in Ontario just north of Toronto.

Way back 2004 that was August when i got my visa. The Canadian Embassy just phoned me and was only asking my date of birth. That was a personal question just for them to know that it was really me before they can issue the visa. Then after that my visa came the next day. That was really great coz i didn't need to go to Manila for the interview. I guess they were satisfied of all the papers we gave.

Hi again rose,
So since you got your visa on May 3rd, did you already go to the CFO G&C and already in Canada?

And where in Canada are you (or moving to)?

yes...after i received the last may 3rd i automatically went to the CFO office for the stamp...i already had my CFO before i got my passport i had my CFO G&C October last year....the CFO G&C is needed for the CFO stamp/sticker....right now i am here in Canada...i arrived here last June 8 via philippine airlines....i am here in Brownvale Alberta....Im glad we are together now with myhubby.............

Hi,

Interview for spouse in Canadian embassy are more on your personal information but interview for spouse are very seldom, I got my immigrant visa without interview. Tell your wife to come early or one hour ahead of the schedule.

My wife went for her interview. She answered all the questions without any problem since she knows me and our relationship well (although due to nervousness, she didn't elaborate a lot). She got along well with the visa officer and even shared a few laughs. Regardless, they didn't approve or deny her.

Even though the Embassy never asked for it, my wife took all our updated supporting documentation (emails, ecards, phone records, txt msgs, etc).

The visa officer took her additional supporting documentation and said:
"I need time to review all this (pointing to the supporting documents) and our interview today. If I'm satisfied, we will do a criminal check and you will be approved and all the documents will be returned to you and also your passport along with the visa. If I'm not satisfied you will be denied"

She then browsed through our application, looked at the medical certificate and said
"You're visa will expire on October 4th, 2006. If it expires you will have to re-apply and start all over again"

When my wife asked how long that would take the officer said "about a month".

So we have no idea if my wife will be approved.
