My spouse's CAIPS notes indicated language as an area of concern for them (although we didn't know this at the time of his interview because we didn't receive the CAIPS notes on time). His interview was conducted half in English (presumably to ascertain his English skill level) but they...

Ditto lynw ... we opened a joint account in Turkey last November. They didn't give me a bank card. When I enquired about it in Canada, I was told I had to return to the branch in which we opened the account. Did that July; now still haven't received the card because 'they mailed it to Canada...
