Citizenship Interview Day Questions

[volee]

Hello, I have just received the notice for citizenship test and interview. I have some questions regarding that day.
1. Will they take away my PR card on that day if I passed everything? I might have to leave Canada after the test.
2. I have quite a lot of entry/exit records during the 5 years. Will they question why I travelled so often?
3. What are some of the questions they would ask during the interview?

Thanks for answering!

1. No
2. They will check the dates with your passport stamps possibly. Unless you travelled to deal with drugs or stuff nothing to worry about. If they ask about the travels, just explain the facts.
3. There is many posts about interview experiences in this forum. Please use the search.

1) No, you keep it with you. In the oath ceremony, they will take your PR card and the landing paper.
2) In my case, the agent asked me why I travel to this country despite I included the reason in the application. Prepare your response in case of.
3) I passed the test October 31 2018 and my only advice to you is read the book very well. I didn't find any question (from the official test) in the online tests.

1) is incorrect. They NEVER take the "landing paper" (COPR). Only the PR card is surrendered at the Oath ceremony.

Hi @zardoz, can you please advise if we get to reschedule oath ceremony date?
My brother's test is on Nov15th and he is leaving for 3 months vacation to back home on Nov 18th. Should he inform the interviewing officer?

we already informed cic and winnipeg office about that 2 weeks ago, and probably that's why he got the test invite before his vacation.

From what I remember, you get one reschedule (assuming you have good reasons). I'm not sure that you get a second chance after that. By all means, inform the interviewing officer.

He didnt reschedule it. We sent a notice in advance, so at least they set the date for test before he is leaving.
He is getting married there, so I hope that counts as reasonable reason.
