IR -2 Child interview in Montreal

[raphael7546 0]

My daughter received her interview date in Montreal for August 26th. We weren't expecting to get an interview this summer as we had received an RFE asking for copies of her passport and another copy of her Birth Cert.

She had to re-knew her passport and we haven't had a chance to get copies as she lives in Canada. She's coming for a visit on Friday . The problem is, She is already expecting to start school in September in Canada. School starts in mid August here and she will miss it. She doesn't want to start school half way between grades and would rather wait until next August to start school here. So, Can I reschedule her interview and how far away can it be re-scheduled? its also a money issue/ time off work issue as we werent expecting to get an interview this summer.

You can re-schedule, but a year may be pushing it, they may think she is not serious about moving down, so make sure you have documentation about school start dates etc. Then again, you really only need to re-schedule for early next year, as the visa will be valid for 6 months so if, say, she'd get an interview in January she could move down after school finished next May/ June.

A few other Canadians have asked about rescheduling interview. They were told it would be 4 or 5 months before they'd get a new date as the file gets put to the bottom of the pile. As stated above once the visa is issued you have 6 months to activate it.
