Hey Mister Steph CSteph C said:They asked him some skill testing questions. One lady in front of him was being grilled quite badly.
One of the questions was if he had previously applied for a visa and he said no a bunch of times and then he doesn't know. The IO was mad and said next time he has to tell him the answer nicely. Guess he forgot about the tourist visa. They asked about his kids, the name and age of the kids, his address in Canada, and phone number. They also asked him how he got his visa. So he had to say Conjugal. Then she stamped his passport and said next time answer the questions correctly. As he left, the other lady was still being grilled by a male IO who was pretty mad apparently.
Moose was so shaken up that he ended up taking the wrong exit out of security and I missed him at the international arrivals gate where I was waiting for a long time with one lonely balloon.. he was already outside and comfortable on a bench in the sun. What a space cadet
welcome to Canada mate!!
Wow... Not a great first impression. I guess they need to be like that.Steph C said:They asked him some skill testing questions. One lady in front of him was being grilled quite badly.

Thanks! So far, he's really happy here. Needs to brush up on his English and I wonder if he will get lonely for the company of other Filipinos soon. We plan to invite the whole family to a special feed on Fil independence day on Wednesday. He's a great cook and it was supposed to be a party just for immediate family but since they heard about the food some aunts and uncles have already secured an inviteGoonerClank said:

Saw the above on the singapore timeline. Thought it would be important for those landing soon. Especially since people will be very excited and it will be easy to overlook .
Why do they need to be like that? The decision to approve or deny the visa is not theirs. They are just there to record the entry and make sure no one is smuggling in any contraband. Maybe I should fly to Vancouver?GoonerClank said:
