Once\nyour PR application has been approved, your status will be finalized after you\ncomplete the Landing Interview at an In-Land Immigration office in\nCanada.
\n
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do not get too nervous about the Landing Interview as it will not put your application at risk of getting rejected. Rather, it\u2019s used as a means to clearly confirm your intentions of coming to Canada.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My interview was scheduled to take place at 1 pm. I went to the office around 10 minutes earlier. I gave my appointment letter and passport and received my number at the reception. There were around eleven others waiting in line before me. While it was a bit unsettling to have many people in the waiting room with me, it came to be my turn after about a 45-minute wait. The interview took place through an over-counter-service similar to that at an airport counter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some\nof the things asked included:
\n
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should expect to be asked similar questions.
Signature to confirm your personal information written in the Confirmation of Permanent Residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\nwas passed over a copy of the form. They mentioned that I would need it again\nwhen applying for citizenship, and to take care not to lose it.
\n
\nIn regards to provincial medical insurance and the changing of Social Insurance\nNumber, I was told to expect about a 3-4 weeks wait to receive the SIN card.
\n
\nI was then told, \u201cCongratulations! You are a Permanent Resident from now!\u201d with\na smile. The interview was complete. I believe that I was short by ten minutes.\nI did not need to show the pre-paid Landing Fee receipt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the same floor where the IRCC office was located, there was a Service Canada branch. There, I completed the procedures for the re-issuing of my Social Insurance Number. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To first read about the experiences of others that have gone through the landing interview process themselves has done a great deal in helping me feel more at ease. (confirming e.g. entry dates) Thank you!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though\nI had many very specific questions pertaining to my case, I was able to\ncomplete my application with much ease as all of my questions were each very\nthoughtfully handled.
\n
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\nam very glad to have had my case handled by Ms. Ueda.
\n
\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should\nI be in need of such services again in the future, I will surely have Ms. Ueda\ntake care of it! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
