Is it for sure that if you do a french course from a university then you will definitely have an interview?
After the first PEQ interview, received second interview invitation. Is it normal?
- Thread starter seanshine
- Start date
Even if you get more than passing marks and just based on your nationality we can have interview?
More than passing marks in what? Tefaq/TCF
University/College passing marks don't matter
Like in uni courses they have 60% so if you score 80-90% they dont call for an interview that is what i heard
Nothing like that ... There's been a case on the forum where someone's husband scored more than 90% but was still called for interview. A friend of mine had 4 out of 6 modules from CEP Concordia with more than 90% and other 2 more than 80%, aggregate 90%+ but was still called for interview. He cleared the interview though but the process took close to 6 months in total for peq csq.
All the best
Thank you for the response, how is the interview, what questions do they ask and how long is it approximately?
Interview 20-30 minutes with questions on your background, country of origin, why Quebec?, Cultural difference, work description etc.
Hi everyone,
Just wanted to updated on my case, I finally got my csq approved on May 16th (interview was on April 9th). Just got the mail today because I was out of country for the past two weeks.
Good luck, everyone!

Congratulations. Can you please share your experience here. Cheers
Personally, I think my interview was not that easy but I did prepare for it pretty well.
It lasted for like 45-50 mins including those random chatting at the beginning and in the end. I had questions related to my work (what I do, daily tasks, explaining projects I am involved in, if I use French at work, etc), my study (very detailed ones), my internship at school, my career plans, why I prefer to work in Canada, my previous history of studying French. We also discussed education systems between Canada and my home country, mental health issues among teenagers nowadays, pressure from school, parents, and the disadvantage of the advancement of technology. Some other things include why do I want to stay here, advantages of working here comparing to my home country, one thing about my home country that I think is better than that in Canada. She also asked me to describe a piece of recent news that I heard from radio/Internet, then we had a discussion on that as well (comparing people's attitudes towards food & nutrition in Canada and my home country).
It was really like a daily chat, there was obviously more questions during the interview than I listed above. My suggestion is to have a list of potential questions you might get and practice with your francophone friends and/or tutors. Once again, good luck, everyone!

Awesome. It was a long interview and I guess the interviewer was cordial.
All the best for your future
