what questions did they ask during interview??

 

[BobyM]

Hi Flying high, I seem to be a bit confused about the passport (s) I have to take with me to the interview. Since you are off to the interview in a couple days, I thought you might have the answer for that.

Some say one needs to take all the passports they have possessed so far, even the ones held prior to coming to Canada. Is that true? Or only the passport (s) that cover the period of residency (4 years) need to be taken to the interview?

Thank you.

Hi BobyM,

Actually am just gonna bring with me my passport that i entered canada in 2010 as permanent resident. I don't think we need to take all the passports that we have gotten so far.
For instance i first came to canada in 2008 and i have lost that passport.
So don't need to worry about that.

I will let you know how the interview goes.

Enjoy your week end!
Cheers.

what questions did they ask during interview??

Not many. Just about my trips abroad (which I only had one) and what family members I have here. She wanted to see my passport including any expired ones. It was all over very quickly. She asked why I hadn't been back to England and if I was planning to go. I explained to her that I had been planning a visit, but because I am a teacher the strike put and end to that and I couldn't afford it.

I was so worried about passing the test that I was so relieved when she told me I had passed and I didn't worry too much about anything else after that.
