Thanks,
That's really a good thread to point out other's experience and avoid mistakes that might change claimant's eligibility even if he/she is eligible to be a refugee.

Well Done.

If you are a genuine refugee then you will know its not a good or pleasant expérience to share

well, i've had a friend go through two interviews now....and basically the first one was to determine his situation, whether or not it meets the requirements of being considered a refugee...so he basically told his story, what happened, how he felt threatened, how he dealt with the situation.

he also had to talk about his background etc.

he also had to talk about any involvement with groups or organisations that may have had political or military or activism...and the key here is to BE COMPLETELY HONEST

the second interview was to confirm the change in his family (he had a baby)...

to the comments about whether or not one is a genuine refugee or not....everyone deals with situations differently and regardless of one's refugee experience, the experience of applying and moving to another country is also very stressful. For some, it helps to know what's expected - not because they want to "copy" other answers....for others, perhaps they don't want to talk about it...that's fine...but don't imply judgement on others....
