shaaz,
I don't remember exactly where I got these but they are from another thread in this forum.  I copied the questions and they are below.

do you know why you are here?
when was the first contact with your wife?
how did you meet her?
who made the first contact?
what is your wife's name?
what do you call her? (I think this was because in all our emails he calls me val but my full name is valerie)
how old is your wife?
(they asked him my age, then tried to correct him, but he stood his ground and they said "yes but she will be that age in a few months", which is not really true, my birthday's not until the fall.  i found that interesting)
when is her birthdate?
where does your wife work?
what does she do there?
she's lived in different countries, what has she done there?
do you know your wife's family members?
what contact have you had with them?
have you travelled together?
where did you travel together?
did you have a honeymoon?
your wife is divorced, right?
it hasn't been very long since you met each other, but you decided she would come and visit you very soon after you first met online (4 months). why so fast? how did that happen?
what happened when she visited the first time?
why were you so rushed to be married?  how do you explain that?
your wife is older than you, can you explain that?
(this led into a bit more of a discussion about our age difference and whether we had discussed how it could affect us etc., it was the most nerve-racking part of the interview because it took on a more serious tone but my husband was strong and spoke from the heart with conviction and they accepted his response- this was clearly the biggest concern)
what do your family members do for work (brother, sister, parents)?
what do you do for work?
noticing our receipts for sending money back & forth:
does your wife send you money because you need it?
did you send her money for the same reason?
do you have family in canada?
are you still in contact with them?

Hope this helps and good luck!

This is way too far in advance for my situation but I will ask anyways. For my husband's rejected TRV interview's in Bangkok, the interviewer (Thai) asked him if he wanted the questions in Thai or English. It was my understanding that an applicant could have the questions in either language. Should I assume for a Sponsorship/PR interview (I'm not sure what you call it) the interview must be done in English?? What if my husband doesn't fully understand a question? Even if his english is quite good, the questions could be very specific and complicated.
thanks,
thaihubbie

th,
On the IMM0008 Generic form, at the top, it asks what language you would prefer for the correspondence and interview.  Simply select English for correspondence and write in Thai for the interview.
