MY INTERVIEW AT DHAKA TODAY
Today I faced my interview at Canadian HC, Dhaka after waiting two and half years. After security checking I reported to the front office. A local smart young man was sitting there who gave me a single page form to fill it up containing the following information:
-Your sponsor's nick name
-Your nick name
- If you stay with your parents/brothers/
sisters OR with your father/mother in laws, their names and contact numbers.
- Your residential address
- Your employer's name, contact number
I sat in the waiting area where three family were waiting for interview. There are 4/5 interview rooms. Loud conversations of ongoing interviews were being heard from some rooms!
After waiting for about 30 minutes, the front office executive announced my name and advised me to proceed to the designated interview room. There were two people sitting inside the glass chamber, one middle aged Singaporean lady interviewer and another local young man (around 25 years old) introduced as interpreter (although I never asked for the interpreter and continued in English till end!). The questions the interviewer asked were:
- Why have you lost your previous PR status?
- Who sponsored you?
- When did your sponsor go to Canada and in what status?
-Were you included when your sponsor entered Canada with immigration ?
- How many children you have? What are their age? What are they doing? Where are they now?
- Is your wife (sponsor) working? (She didn't want details of her work, or where she works!)
- Does your wife live in rented or own house? (I said we own jointly).
- Why you couldn't maintain your previous residency obligation?
- When did you return from Canada?
- What are you doing now here?
- Give description of your businesses and how you are involved in those business?
- What's your plan with these businesses if your visa is approved?
- What will you do when you go to Canada?
- When did your sponsor last meet you? Where? For how long you stayed together?
-Do you have recent pictures of your wife and children with you?
- How did you celebrate your wife's last birthday ? Was there any surprise gift from you?
- How do you communicate with your wife? (I said she is most of the time on FaceTime with me, several hours everyday!)
- Do you have FaceBook page? Do you have your family photograph on your FaceBook page? In your friend list whether your wife, son and daughter included. If not, why not?
- When you travel abroad, do you take your wife? If no, why not?
- Do you have any visa refusals from any country?
- Show me your all passports(I showed current and all expired passports) Why did you visit Singapore,Thailand, Saudi Arabia ? What are the other countries you have travelled so far & why?
-Why have you visited India so many times?
- What assets you have?
- Are your businesses profitable? How much are you getting from each business? Any proof of income?
- How much is your net worth ?
- We received allegation against you for drug trafficking. What do you have to say? (I said it is absolutely ridiculous and untrue. I have never ever involved in any kind of crime whatsoever in my whole life). It seems that she asked me this question very dramatically with kind of hidden smile on her face!
- Where do you live?Who lives with you?
- Where is your police clearance? (I gave police clearance from Bangladesh. She asked me to send police clearance from Canada as well, because I stayed there over six months in the past.
During the entire interview, the interpreter sat besides her. At the end, she said she will inform the decision within 4 weeks. The interviewer seemed emotionless, always busy looking at her computer, scrolling quickly all the time and asking questions very randomly.
The interview lasted for about 45 minutes up to 10.35 am. At 11.30 am, the interpreter called my business partner over phone and discussed about the business for 10 minutes. The purpose was to cross check the information I provided. But he raised some other irrelevant issues like her other business or social involvement, if any. She said she is the member of Rotay Int. and Inner Wheel Club.
The interviewer didn't clearly tell about the outcome of the interview. So I have to wait 4 weeks to get the result.
