Be sure to bring a photocopy of the birth certificate as well. This is listed on every packet 4 PDF/email I've ever seen or received, but for some reason many people seem to not have this item in their packet 4.

If the Canadian resident was not born in Canada, you also need a photocopy of the Citizenship or Resident Card/Certificate.

I actually just color copied and printed my long form BC birth certificate so I'm good to go there.

Awesome! Best of luck to you. I'm kinda nervous myself and also can't wait to take a break from being in visa limbo at the same time. The 14th can't come soon enough!

Hey vv84,

Only one thing I can tell you, don't stress ahaha this interview is definatly the easiest part, once the security is done(entering the building), everyone is very nice and happy.

On your list I would add, proof of payment for interview(265$ if I remember well), it's acutally on one of the email, they asked me for that.

For the passport pictures, there is a photobooth if you really don't have time to do it before.

Good luck

Edit: the 265$ proof may show on your first point: 1) Appointment letter showing the date and time of your interview

I'm kind of confused about that one. I have the proof of payment (it says the date it's paid and amount and type of payment). Doesn't that count as proof of interview date?
