I will keep you all posted.
If CCW were a job you wanted more than any other, you would go to extraordinary lengths to prepare for every interview involved in the application process.

Any interview can rule you out, you must pass all to receive issue, therefore, treat every interview as the only one.

Bring the originals and 2 copies of all your documentation (utility bills, application, written GC, photocopy of DL) with you, one for your reference during the process, and an extra copy to hand the interviewer either as you go or all at once (a stapled packet might be convenient). You may not need them, but if they help, you're SOL if you arrive without.

The more you can completely remove any consideration of the work involved in processing your application, the more your interviewer listens to you, instead of the little voices that remind her how much work she has to do to make it happen.

Dress for success (whatever that means for you), get a good night's sleep, eat properly, be hydrated, and visit the toilet for all needs and image refreshening beforehand.

None of this may matter, but if any can make a difference... you get the point.

Oh, and have a good time!
The worst outcome is you walk out just a wee bit older and wiser than you walked in.
