interview question
 
Hi All

This question might sound pretty silly, but still I would like a response to it please. Here it goes, I have been asked to bring my wife along for the interview which is scheduled in Jan 2003. My question is, Will the officer ask specific questions directed to each one of us separately or will he/she ask questions generally to both of us and expect an answer from any one of us. If you r wondering y I am asking this, here is y, I and my wife have a tendency to speak at the same time(especially when someone asks a question) hoping to be heard better than the other and in the process sometimes end up confusing the person asking the question. Now, I would like to avoid this in the interview and hence this question.

Thanks in advance fo the help

Cheers

RSK

Re: interview question
 
You will be asked separate questions - some questions will be directed to
you while other to your wife.

We found that my husband was asked most of the questions as he is the main applicant and the interviewer spoke directly to him most of the time. I was just asked a few questions at the end.
Good Luck!

Are you an outside or inland spousal applicant? and in what stage were you
requested for an interview?

I have applied outside of canada. I was called for an interview after 13 months of my application.

In our case too the husband (main applicant) was asked most of the questions.

Make sure you agree to avoid this habit during the interview. It could
be seen negatively, as if you're trying to cover something...or just aren't
sure of the facts.

One person speaks at a time. Preferably the one the officer is looking
at, at the time of asking the question. :-)
