Faqs Canada,
Selection Interviews and Interview Waivers
5.1
Will I be interviewed by an immigration officer? Skilled Worker applicants
for permanent resident status may be required to attend a selection interview
with an immigration officer. Such interviews are held to ensure the information
in the application is accurate, to verify documentation, to test language ability,
and to help applicants relocate to Canada. Visa offices may grant certain Skilled
Worker and Family Class candidates an interview waiver, depending on the qualifications
of the applicant, the quality of the supporting documentation, and the overall
credibility of the applicant. The likelihood of an interview waiver varies from
one visa office to another. Almost all applicants under the Business Immigration
Program will be required to attend a selection interview.
5.2
What is a security interview? In a small percentage of applications, an
interview is held to evaluate security issues such as espionage, subversion or
terrorism. These interviews are usually held after a selection interview, and
may also be held in cases where a selection interview is waived.
5.3
When is the selection interview held? Depending on how many applications
are before yours at the visa office and which visa office has your file, it might
take as little as four months to get an interview, or it might take as long as
30 months. Usually, though, the selection interview takes place about two-thirds
of the way into the application process.
5.4
Is there anything I can do to obtain an interview waiver? Applications
which are complete in every detail increase the chances of an interview waiver.
However, interview waivers are granted at the discretion of the immigration officials.
It is not possible to apply specifically for a waiver. Even if an interview is
waived, you may still be called to an interview, generally for quality assurance
purposes.
