The interview was very thorough and lasted for 30mins. Below are some of the questions asked

- Examples of some work / projects you have done
- Why didn't you submit payslips during the initial application and why is there no salary deposit in your bank account

Finally, she went through all the duties mentioned in my work reference letter and asked me to explain it and give examples.

At the end she said congratulation I am satisfied you meet the requirement and asked me to come back at 2pm to collect the Visa. I was also asked to come with two passport photo and since I didn't have one, they directed me to Flash Photos, near the Danquah Circle, Osu, Ghana

Obviously, your profession caused a positive stir and generated much curiosity. Sounds like one in the senior management category. What is it by the way? Congrats once again.

How did u answer this question Are you willing to do any other job or only your profession in Canada?

Yes, I am willing and able to do interim jobs while I get settled into the system. Then I referenced my time in both US and UK where I worked in Walmart, KFC & Asda to survive until I got a job in my profession.

Congratulations and thanks to you for this update. All the best in canada..please what is your profession?

My role is a Business Analyst and I previously worked with a top financial service company in both US and UK as a Project Manager and both were used to claim points.

My other menial jobs were only listed under my personal history

I think they called me for an interview either because I didn't submit payslip and my salary account or because I kept sending constant emails to them to process my application faster and for update.

I ordered my GCMS note and everything was passed with no concern before my file was transfered to London. It was the London officer that decided to call me for interview.

good luck everyone and wish you all PPR this month

I think you should focus on whatever you are engaged in right now cos there are so many may/june/July aors with ftds in August and September and having NA2 of more than 110 days. IMO, you just started the race so you need to take a chill pill. Your NA2 status has just been for 14 days! !! Going by LVO, you should be getting IP2 around Feb next year if LVO increases their speed. Relax and enjoy the moment.

Congratulations Bee17, if the place to upload has not shown, raise a cse and attach the adr. Also send a mail to the email address of london.

Once you do that, they will most likely activate your account so you can upload there. Please what is the adr?
