Eligibility document?

[JJ Day 22]

This may sound like a stupid question, but I want to have all my ducks in a row before my interview in Montreal this week. I have all of the documents, plus copies, of everything they have requested on my interview letter. However, the last item on the list is "eligibility document" and I have no idea what that means. I called the NVC and they were not able to clarify. Could this possibly be related to the issue of domicile? Or am I missing something that I will regret I did not bring with me? Thank you.

This is the answer I had gotten on VJ when I had the same question.......

"This is a requirement that is particular to Canadians. It means whatever document gives you the right to be interviewed in Canada - in other words - what document will prove that you are a bona fide Canadian resident?

For Canadian nationals, it's your passport or your birth certificate. For non-Canadians, it would be the residency visa that allows you to stay in Canada.

You've sent a copy of the document that makes you eligible to interview in Canada! So they want to see the real thing at the interview.''

Also check Montreal's consulate website to see if they require anything that NVC has not asked you for. Bring it with you.Better to be over prepared. That was our situation... Good luck with your interview.

Thank you so much for the info and well wishes! I've got copies of everything they asked for, as well as things they didn't. I hope I'm ready for any surprise questions or queries. My sister-in-law had her interview a month ago and it was smooth sailing. In and out of the office in less than an hour. I'm hoping/praying for a similar experience.

There aren't a lot of surprise questions, read the Canadian interview experiences and you should be fine.
