You probably will not be asked half of those questions. There is something that needs to be clarified in your application look again to the answers on the forms already provided and make sure your supporting documents concur.

Oh Aarati, oh Aarati!

Do you think these stupid questions you are going to face!

About your language skill:
They can not use interview to decide your English competency.

I don´t think that you are going to sit on an exam or a job interview.

The main important thing they or as an officer I (if I were) ask you would be to verify whether the documents you submitted are genuine or not. That means if you say something and your papers say something....you lie.

Probably the next factor, would be your capacity to settle there or survive there. Definitely no body wants, you may not be able to cope with your new life next month after reaching there and start to complain about the life there.
I guess they can decide about the authenticity of you (documents, funds.....) and whether or not you can adjust, the first factor is more important.

And qusetion no. 26. aa is really funny for me
probably only an Indian officer can ask such typical marketing job interview question!

To sum up (!), be confident, give genuine answer...don´t worry, just say what you want to do...before this check the website...where and how you plan to settle..BE HONEST, GIVE GENUINE ANSWER...the things what I said applies if you are bieng interviewed by a Canadian officer or of European officer .. for others I have no idea.

One thing, I guess they are interviewing you..that means they may want to know about

(i) whether or not you deserve the points you calim
(ii) if the documents are genuine or not
(iii) if the funds claimed is genuine or not
(iv) related to security
(v)or your hardly get the points you claim, so officers give you chance in favor of positive decision
(vi) just as a normal and formal process

YOU and ONLY you know about most of the answers in these matter...! so, concentrate on these things rather than about the governors of the states or IQ questions.

Reply from Sydney (in reply to: Need Help prepare for Canada consulate interview)
Hi everyone,

I sent my application to NS Sydney at Federal Skilled Worker Centralized Intake Unit on 11th Sep 09. Anyone has any idea, how long it takes to get a reply back from them. Also if they refuse any application, does it take the same time to hear back from them. Is there anyway to check the status, if one does not have the file number?

Thanks

Those are the most retarded question that I have ever seen.

So? According to those questions, if you don´t know the capital of Canada or you a GROWN man doesn´t know what to do with your parents you will get rejected?

According to those questions, my self being a proud white arian, if I was born in India under the Hindu religion, I would get rejected? because of a question such as What is your ethnic background?

Sorry, but those are by far some of the most retarded questions that I have ever seen. CIC will ask you to clarify a few things from your application that´s it! no more no less. Who cares where do you see your self in five years!!!! (question 26 AA)

Answer that to your future employer not a visa officer.
