Ok. All along I have been a silent member, listening in to your posts, learning from your experiences.
I finally have my selection interview scheduled for June 14 2013 - 15:30 in New York. We (my wife and myself) are not conversant in French. Just started some prep...that too basic phrases. I taking all the documents with me, certs, pay slips, tax docs, education transcripts, work experience etc.
Anyone with a recent experience, can you guide me as with their wisdom in this last minute.
Appreciate your help.
Regards.
Let me just comment, though as per your precision,u need only comments from people with interview experience. I don't have interview experience! lol
Well, congrats for getting an Interview invitation, which so many people who applied late in 2011 have been longing to get to no avail.
The main issue, which I think is Prime as at now, is INTENSIFYING YOUR FRENCH LANGUAGE STUDIES, though u have barely a few days (less than 2 weeks) to go. Try as much as u guys can, to know at least formal and informal salutations in french, basic conversation skills in french, and not to forget, both of you should try and learn how to introduce yourselves in french: I am called......, i am.......years old, i am married to......, i studied in....., i have ..... children, i currently work at bla bla bla......etc. and not forgetting, try to learn a bit of Quebec History like Minister's names, reunification dates, official langiage,,,etc,........and general geography about Quebec like names of some cities etc.
If you were able to be scheduled for an interview without evaluating your french knowledge (by the immigration officials), then that will be where they will concentrate during your interview....so try that out and you will announce at 17:30 on June 14 2013, on this same forum, that your received your CSQs!!
Good luck buddy!!
