PR Interview - What does this entail?

[jhoyforum]

hi everyone,i sponsored my husband and he got a mail from CIC with this message “your final determination for Permanent residence interview is on Oct 1” does anyone know what questions do they ask on this interview?

His status online is already “decision made” and CIC said 2 weeks ago before we got the message for the interview that our application has already been completed so i am confused if this is going to be an interview regarding our relationship or is this a landing interview?

Thanks in advance to all who is going to answer.
