mft25 said:Hi every one and I wish all of you best of luck...Special thanks to ricoluna and everyone else for your support and assistance. We got the CSQ and I cannot believe it. We had also submitted our second file after a terrible week of running almost everywhere to get all papers needed for the Federal part. Thanks god after 2 years of waiting, 1 and half year studying French I got it.
I was at hotel lobby by 8:00AM sharp, the 1st officer who was a women entered the hotel at 8:15am saying bonjour and we replied bonjour. The 2nd officer who was an African man entered at 8:20 am with no bonjour at all .At 8:30 the African officer called another lady and we were in shock, i thought my email was not delivered. Finally she came at 8:45am and called my name and I answered in French as ricoluna recommended. We started the interview by checking the passports for all family members. Birth dates and places for my husband and myself in French. Then, she asked for my university certificate as well as my marks. My work experience was checked too. She asked for slip of salary as a proof of work where the bank statement is not sufficient. She asked for the social security card and social security statements for me and my husband. She asked after that about how i speak English fluent and that was the only question in English. Then, she asked questions about my preparation for Québec like job offers, schools for my kids, day care for my youngest, houses and where do we intend to live there. She checked our French certificates (Delf a2 for myself, delf a1 for my husband) she appreciated that we learned French as a vital tool in Quebec as well as our two kids who are enrolled in the French institution. I believe that worked to our side. I spoke French for about 50 minutes, by other words our interview was conducted in French.
Be ready for the interview by learning French, search about jobs in Quebec, schools and houses. Get your original copies. Make sure that your spouse speaks French too and intends to work there when you move.
Be yourself, honest, and well prepared, speak French and show them that you are ready and capable to overcome all the challenges.
Best of luck for everyone
thanks for sharing your interview
