Re: Interview and dress code
a lot of interesing ideas on the dress code ... my advice would be "business casual". formal shirt and trousers with a nice jacket should be fine.

Re: Interview and dress code
Interesting thread this one. When you sit in the torture chamber...er..waiting room you'll see most men in suits or a smart jacket and trousers. Women were business smart. personally I wore trousers and light shirt and was glad I did. After sitting on the tube for an hour, getting drowned in the rain then steamed in the waiting room (its very very warm in there) it actually wouldn't have mattered if I'd worn a bin liner. However it DID make me feel a bit more confident.
Interestingly I've just seen a picture of Jamie Oliver receiving his award from HMTQ in a jacket he looked like he had slept in and no tie. Said someone told him to dress comfortably and ties make him nervous. Luckily he left the pipe and slippers at home but he looked like a scruffbag and not taking it too seriously. Question is..do you want to give that sort of impression?

They have a dress-code? Hmm.. "Reason for refusal: Failed to follow
the CIC dress code". Doubtful.

Re: Interview and dress code
When I went for my inland 'interview' at the Calgary office, there was a
good mix of dress style.
You had those serious looking people all dressed up in suits and shiney
shoes (they were the ones who went to the toilet every five minutes).
Then you had people like me wearing casual clothing, and finally you had
those with the working-class Canadian look: Ripped jeans, checkered
shirt, and a long mullet with a baseball cap on top (guess they were
trying to fit in from day one!)
Seriously, dress code is not something to worry about.
