Hi Guys,
I visited Canadian Embassy, New York for interview for Permanent Residensy. I applied from USA. It takes total 6 months to get Interview letter once you get file#, and after that 3 more months to finish interview. Total 9 months.
Canadian embassy is located at Ground floor in RockerFeller Building. Between 49th and 50th st, 6th Avenue.
My Interview was arranged at 1:30 PM. I reached there at 12:30 noon. It was lunch break there. So, Embassy was closed.
We went to Burger King, same floor(basement). We reached there 1:15 PM.
There was a Queue. I joined in Queue. But, for Immigration Interviews guys have to make another Queue. If there is only 1 Queue, then ask Security Guy that you came for Per. Immigration Interview. So, he will let you allow to make new line. It was open again at 1:30 PM.
At 1:30, all Permanent Immigration(PI) Interview guys were called first. You have to keep your Interview invitation letter in your hand.
At first check point, they will keep your Cell phone with them, and give you token(to collect your cell pohone later). You have pass the metal detector(Like at airport).
At second check point, they will give you some # in small chit. For Eg. 'P-101'. Then, you(and your dependents) have to take seat in waiting area.
After 10 minutes, They will call your # on speaker. and instruct you to submit Interview letter to Cabin # 3. Where they will verify your name and application.(It is 2 minutes procedure). then you will sit back to your seat in waiting area.
After 10 minutes, or turn by turn, they will call your # (i.e. 'P-101') on speaker, go to cabin # 8. I think, there are #7, #8, #9, #10 cabins are provided to face interview.
Now, you alone will go to cabin # 8.(Your dependents are sitting at waiting area). Immigration officer will be waiting inside with covered glass cabin. He/she will tell you to sit on opposite chair and close the door.
Keep all of your paper/documents ready in ceratin order. So, on demand, you can show them immidiately.
You both will introduce by your names. Interviewer has all documents, what you sent to Canadian embassy so far. Now, questions will be asked by interviewer.

then, he/she will give you 1 book 'Introduction to Canadan' and related paper. As you know, your medical is valid for certain time(normally 1 year, but sometime, interview is delayed it can be reduced by month or 2). You have to enter in Canada before any of (your and dependents) medical validity finishes.
If you have not submitted Landing fees, you have to submit there OR Later. then only, you will get visa papers.
It is recommended to do medical, once you get interview call letter. It takes almost 2 months to reach the medical test information to Immigration officer(Interviewer).
Due to certain reasons, your visa can be delayed in interview.
eg. If there is very less time left in medical validity, then
Immigration Office may ask you to do Medical again.
eg. If your FBI finger prints are not reached there, it can
delay your visa.
