They will confirm your education, experience, English proficiency and personal admissibility to Canada. It took around 40 minutes in my case. They will approve/deny your case and you might have to do medicals and then they will request PP by mail. They don't stamp on the spot.

I had an interview at Detroit last week.
They checked all the educational documents, employement letters and kept updated FBI police clearance certificate. He told me that i may submit the landing fees and everything is fine except police clearnce certificates from Pakistan, becasue i am from pakistan. I explained that Citizens of Pakistans does not require from their own country and that is stated in your immigration web site.
he said no now it is required and fairly good number of peoples providing it and so he can not excempt it while fairly good number of applicalts providing us. He told me to send send Passports for stamping along with police clearance certificate as soon as you get your police clearance certificates.
He gave me his contact #'s, email to contact if i need anything.

Yes you have to carry all origionals documents with you plus all supporting docuemnts like Paystubs, Employement conformation, Apartment Lease, Bank Statement, Police Clearance Certificates from USA.
Everything single document you can think about.

my medical expired when i did interview. so they will mail me the
forms and ask me do i again after interview.
just be cool when interview and answer every question with the truth
(it was my fault to feel frustrate about their questions, because i could
not explain clearly about my messed up employment histroy... and i also
didn't want to complain that was because it took too long for the case
approval... i felt 40 mins abusing.. but after that, i told myself, u
got everything u wanted.. nothing need to be upset about..)

Hi tara_6,
I had my intervew on April 12 2004 at Detroit Consulate 10 O Clock. We got there by 9 PM and submitted all documents to the receptionist along with the letter shows the date and time of interview, they collected all passports, pic, all documents and were asked to wait till the office call our name, that day there were too many peoples there for visit visa and the samll waiting section was full of peoples. we waited there for one and half hour then a laday immgration officer called us and told me that wife and kids can stay outside and no need to go in if she feel that she need them she will them, then she took me to her office and told me that i am sorry that you waited soo long i said that's okay. She said i did not look all of you documents and stopped looking when i get what i was looking for. I dont know what she was looking for. I took my IELTS exam as well. My relatives are in Canada so i asked for 5 extra points she said she may go into that detail if you need those points.
The she aske the following quesitions.
1) How many kids you have? I said 2.
2) What are the countries yu had visited ? Only USA
3) Wha is your responsibilities in your company ? Assist junior programmers, Prepare technical cpecification, etc etc . Explain your responsibilities.
4) Then she said what is platform like windows platform, Unix Platform? I explained what platform is then she said your defination was really good and gave me a good smile i said thank you.
that's it she said you did medical and you have updated FBI and i have everythhing except Pakistani police clearance certificates. I said it was not required to get them from Pakistan. She said yes but now a days good number of peoples are providing it and i can not excempt you while other peoples are providing i said it is ivery difficuly to get it from pak she says atleast if you can get a letter that they can issue you a police clearance certificate that will be sufficant.
She give me her visitin card and told me to submit the passports when you get pakistani police clearance certificate.
I said do i need some passport request letter from you ? she no just attached my card and send you passport.
After that day In two weeks i got the police certificate and send everyitng back to consulate along with passports and got my visa stamped
Take updated US police clearance certificate
Take IELTS
Take letter from your current employer
Take pay stubs
Everyting you can think of.
I hope this will help you.

my sugestion:
don't hide/ignore anything and tell the canadian the truth.
(unless u have sth need to be kept as secret..)
i guess most people would have a peaceful and simple interview..
for me, i did some part-time work last year, and I didn't
write it down in my application form because it's not related
to my major/professional career.. but i accidently gave them
the W2 for this job, which made the canadian lady sensitive...
also, i don't have "PROOF of Language Proficiency", she asked
me write an article about my current job duty at her desk...
again, just be cool and be co-operate..

W2's required
Hi Tara,
I have the same problem as yours .... maybe a little worse actually. They have asked me to submit W2's from 1998-2002. I only have W2's for 2000 and 2001. I have decided to tell them the truth and that I only have W2's for these 2 years and if they want to consider my experience just for 1-2 years, that's ok. I still have more than 67 points. My big concern is they may reject the case because on the application I said I have more than 4 years of exp. My interview was waived, let see what happens. I will reply to them in couple of weeks as I'm waiting to receive my H4. I'll submit a copy of that too.
If anybody else has/had the same problem as ours, please share your thoughts.
Regards.

they took all my w2s but they didn't take my tax returns.
don't worry about employment history.. just tell the truth.
but i think currently employed would help..
anothor important thing is showing them u have enough money
to immigrate to canada (current proof of funds)..
good luck.

interview
last year i went for interview at detroit. here is detail.
Took all the documents i can think of.
1. All exp letters
2. All degree/certificates (original)
3. All my employment letters including offer letters. (USA)
4. W2's (last couple of yrs)
5. Bank statements
6. EAD's
I had to wait for couple of hrs. Interview was over in 15 minutes & i was approved. Didn't hide anything. Looks like she had spent atlest 30 minutes on my documents and she knew what my case was. She wanted to clarify couple of things before approval. (ex: Why I wanted to move to canada?, what is EAD? (she knew, but she wanted me to tell her that I had applied for US GC, which technologies i'm working on, do i know salary diff, etc..))
Did medical after interview was cleared, didn't wanted to waste $400.
hope this helps...
