Interview Question ( Will they Ask About... )

[UKSlimer]

So I applied for Citizenship last year.
I am going for my test next week and have an interview afterwards.
I got my Permanent Residency through common law sponsorship, me and my common law partner broke up about 6 months after I got it ( Nothing Malicious, he just left me for another person, we were together for 5+ Years ).

After my Citizenship test I am going to be interviewed, is this something the CIC officer is going to care about / ask about?

I've read multiple threads about the ' interview ', and from what I can gather, its more of a formality to see if I can speak English, pay my taxes ect.

* It was not a conditional PR
* My paper work has all gone through fine
* lived here in Canada for 4+ years, paid my taxes, no criminal record
* No issues thus far

I do not believe they will ask anything relating to your relationship or how you got your PR, you are good

How you got your PR is irrelevant for them ... you should be good

If they ask, answer..if not, don't tell.

My son is Canadian born, but the interviewer asked my wife about his status. Strictly speaking, it wasnt any of their concern. But such things are part of the conversation. Noone here can tell you whether they'll ask or not. Just be accurate and precise and you should be good IMO.

Thankyou for putting my mind at ease.
What exactly is the point of the interview?

The IRCC officer uses it to verify the claims the person does : ID checks, what you do for a living, where you have been, passport checks for stamps... It's also an informal langage check : if you clearly speak french or english, the officer doesn't ask you to show him/her the langage proficiency proof you sent with your application.

Generally and for most people, it's a quick 5 to 10 minutes informal chat that goes without issues.
Don't worry about it
