Test-Interview

[zztop]

Hi,
Maybe someone who already did test can advise.

From my understanding everyone gets invite and writes test but what about interview? Does everyone also have interview and how that usually goes?

Thank you

To the best of my knowledge everybody gets the interview right after the test.

I think in your case interview was focused on your travel history. Did you heard from anyone else what is usually interview focused on? Original paperwork that was sent with application or something like that?

With my experience a couple of weeks ago, the interview was about 5 mins long, she was very friendly, Said I had passed the test, she asked me what I do, asked about my family in Canada , Glanced at my documents, complimented me on my manicure (I am not joking), scribbled some handwritten notes on a form which she asked to me to read and sign. I did, said good bye. 7 days later Decision Made. Overall 100% Painless

Were they overly particular about the 2 personal identification?

They had the photocopies of my originals in my file, Driving License and Health Card She just confirmed them.

I am asking because I didn't include my DL, I moved to Ontario from Alberta and I didn't want them scrutinizing me about the difference in address, and I didn't want to rush and apply for a new DL in ON. I used extra valid passport, PRC, and Alberta health card as my personal ID. DO you think that all they will ask to see when I get to that interview stage? Thanks

Permanent residence card and passport are two forms of identification and enough. Both contain pictures.

They will always check your travel history carefully and compare what you said in your presence calculator with stamps and their own lists. In my case they also asked quite a bit about my family. Most people in the interview in Vancouver took about 10 minutes for the interview and some quite a bit longer.
