Immigration interviews can vary depending on your situation, the type of application, and the officer conducting the interview from Canada Border Services Agency or Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. At ports of entry such as airports or borders, officers typically review your travel documents, ask questions about your purpose of visit, background, and health, and inspect any items you are bringing into Canada. If everything is in order, the process is quick; however, if concerns arise, you may be subject to further examination or even refused entry.

After entering Canada, CBSA may request an in-land interview for various reasons, such as reviewing your immigration status, issuing documents, or addressing concerns about admissibility. You may be asked to provide identification, travel history, and details about your current situation in Canada. In some cases, interviews are related to removal procedures or legal reports. It is essential to attend these interviews, provide accurate information, and bring all requested documents, as outcomes can significantly impact your status in Canada.

Interviews conducted by IRCC are often part of application assessments, including visa or sponsorship cases. During these interviews, officers evaluate the authenticity of your application by asking both general and case-specific questions. Missing an interview or providing false information can lead to refusal or serious consequences, including bans for misrepresentation.
