Prepare an interview

[bradleychapman]

That's too many questions, seriously, how long will it take? Now I know the importance of being honest in answering questions.

Thank you for your detailed information.
My visa office is Rome and I am under Skilled worker category I applied to CIC Sydney in Jun 2010 (before June 26).
CIC first AOR in Oct 2010. Sent all document to Rome VO in DEC 2011. Had a letter in May 2011 saing: the processing times are on average 12-18 months and that will be informed approximately 2 month prior to the date of interview, if required. Meanwhile Client Application Status has changed to Received by Visa Office.
Please tell me if the interview is a common procedure for all applicants after 28 Feb and before Jun 26, or only some of them pass through this process for some reasons? Is there anyone to share his experience with Rome VO??

Interview is not a common procedure at all.
This is the latest style by CIC that they add that extra line that " nd that will be informed approximately 2 month prior to the date of interview, if required. " Whats your NOC by the way?

it does not mean that you'd surely be called for an Interview.
Relax.

Hi,
Does anyone know, what about if somebody own a house with a mortgage for this property.
Is there any chance to be asked in the interview for this fact?
Do you think that this is a problem for their decision?
Thanks

My interview experience on 22nd Sept 2011 -- ND VO. Like to post my expereince as it might be useful to anyone who may be called for an interview in future.
The story begins:

I reached the CHC ND around 7.45 AM & my interview was scheduled at 8.45 AM.Around 8.30 AM the security officer announced that the candidates for the interview can stand in line along with the interview letter. I presented my letter at the security officer & he asked me to wait for my call for the security check. I was asked to keep my ID proof ready. Once my name was announced I went for the security check & entered the reception area around 8.45 AM. I gave my letter to the receptionist and she asked me to wait in the hall.
In 5/7 min my name was called & was instructed to go to cabin no. 2 I walked in the cabin n greeted the lady officer & I took a seat. After giving some instructions like I need to give correct & true information & if found incorrect this can lead to the refusal of my visa, the lady asked my at present what I am doing? ( as I have left my previous job ). I have applied under 1122 cat ( Team training specialist) & had an exp. of 12 yrs in travel industry.
After that she asked me the roles & responsibilities I was performing during 10 yrs of my job, which I told her. As I was speaking with her she was typing the details on her system.
Then she asked my to give the details of my job ie. the period I joined & the promotions which I got. Plz make sure that you give the details with exact dates ( day/month/year).
After that she asked the duties I performed according to my post & promotions. Next question was did I apply through consultant which I said yes & gave the details of the consultant. After checking the details on her system she said that I dont fit the roles which 1122 offers. I clarified why I have applied under 1122 which I think she was not convencied.
After this question I realized that my interview is over & was 100% sure that my case will be refused.
She continued asking me that what will I do if I go to Canada / do I have freind or relatives in canada/ will you be staying with them . ( plz tell that initially you will be doing some odd jobs & then will try to find the job of you cat you have applied). After that she asked me if I dont get a job in my cat then for which I said that I will taking canadian education which will help me to get a job.

After 15/20 mins she said she is finished taking my interview & to great surprise she said that she is approving my application & I will be getting the medical request in few days. I was totally astonished.She then asked me how many years I have been married & asked me to show some pics of my marraige. I asked her if she has any other questions to ask which she said its fine so I thanked her & came out. To be honest I will not belive that I am through untill I get a medical request.
In short the VO's are unpredictable, but the lady VO was very nice & polite. I think that if you try to over convince then your case might screw up & try to answer the queries in short.

This is my exp which I thought to share with you all..... best of luck to all & goD blEss

mavrick09in,

CIC has doubts over your Job experiences , they thought that the papers about your job those you provided to them were fake. they also had slight doubt over genuineness of your marriage and the lady tried to demoralize you while the interview and watched out if you got collapsed. you did well.

btw, where was the Interview taken?

 

[Porosh-pathor]

can anyone let me know which category is in priority for processing skill worker?

Dear jnathan
The interview was in New Delhi. Yes may be they wanted to shatter me, but that was for my job & roles... thx a lot for the comment

Hello everyone, just a quick one.

In the interview request letter the only name that appears is mine, does this means that my wife shouldn´t attend to the interview??


Thank You very Much!
