Hi guys, as the subject suggests, what contributes to an interview waiver? I´ve been in Canada for 6 years under study & work permits. I´m hoping I won´t have an interview because that requires me to get a US visa which is a huge ordeal. Thoughts and suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

if your application is clear and well presented with accurate documentation, there is no additional benefit to an interview by CIC. Interviews are designed to fill in the blanks, clarify questionable information etc.
An applicant has great influence on the need for an interview.

In most of the cases of you make a strong case (70+points) and if you have been in Canada it will waive your interview.
The main reason for a interview is to see if you can really accomodate yourself in Canada and that you will have a smooth transition in Canada.
Now in your case as you have been living in Canada for 2+ years you dont really need to be aquainted with the Canadian lifestyle. They assume that in 2+ years you will be well aquainted. And for that reason they give 5 points ( Studying in Canada for 2+ years or work in Canada)
So in your case if you make 67+ points you should not be invited for an interview... Only in extreme cases; that is if you belong to some criminal organization or from a country which has a history or problems you may be invited for interview.
I know a friend of mine doing phD in toronto for 2+ years was asked for an interview but later waived.

does that apply to US too, I mean if u have been living in US for 2+ yrs, do Canadians at CIC think the aspiring immigrants will have smooth transition in Canada?
