Just did my interview at CP. The iris scanners stopped working so they gave me a slip to bring to any office. Was brought to CBSA 10 mins early (took 30 seconds), then US side took a bit longer to take me in but only took 2 mins to question me.
By the way- the confirmation letter and interview page do not
explicitly say "bring your cititzenship/birth certificate". It really just says that you bring your passport (assuming you used that for your application process) and the letter. I say this because my fiancee has to go back within 30 days and show them her citizenship card. I happened to bring my just in case and was able to get it all done and ok'd.
So the moral of the story is to bring your citizenship/birth certificate just in case.
Also, I asked about verbal declaration. The CBSA officer said the official rule is to use the declaration slips. She mentioned that she had never asked for them and always took verbal declarations, but didn't want to say that it was all good in case I got a shitty/new officer insisting I have one on hand. So she said just have one ready just in case you get that one noob officer.
