加拿大香港领馆的网站上是这样说的：We can advise you that independent category applicants from Hong Kong, Macau and the PRC who submitted their applications to this office up to and including 3 October 1999 are currently being scheduled for interview appointments in January 2002.

我的理解是入表时间是1999年10月3日以前的已经都收到了面试通知。而入表时间和FN时间通常应该有若干天的差别。
