Hello everybody,

This is my experice of Quebec immigration interview. I thought it would be helpful for those planning to take this process.

The interview was held in Syria, Damascus, Quebec Immigration Office on December 1st 2008 at 9:30. My interviewr was "Reda Chaouqi". He was a mid-aged man. He came out to the waiting room and we shook hands and then he asked me to go to room no.2. He was nice, friendly and reasonable. Here are the questions:
[All in French except the last question]

1- Passport please?
2- Your birth date?
3- Have you always been single?
4- Your Original University degree please?
5- Your letter of work experience please?
6- How many employees are there in your company?
7- What do you do in this company? What do you fabricate? What is your field of work?
8- Why do you want to immigrate to Quebec?
[At this point I told him that how high demanded my profession in Quebec is and that I have already looked for it in the internet and I have printed the results, and then he said yes he wants to see the results, so I gave them to him.]
9- Have you ever been to Quebec?
10- Do you have any relative in Quebec?
11- What are the main cities of Quebec?
12- What do you know about automation [my field of work] in Quebec?
13- How are you going to be able to work in Quebec?
14- Who is the Prime-minister of Quebec?
15- What are you going to do after arrival to Quebec?
16- Now answer the last question in English.

The interview took half an hour.
There was a glass between us (like in prisons!) with a small gap at the bottom for exchanging the documents. But those who where interviewed in Royal Hotel or Rotana Hotel weren't like that. I mean it was the normal desk and chairs. Mine was in the embassy and it should be more secure.

There have been other interviewer too who were interested in other kind of questions. For example, this guy in room no. 1 used to start with questions like: Where did you visit in Damascus? What do you think about Damascus? What do you think about Syria comparing to your country? or what did you do this morning? and questions like that.

If anyone has any other questions, feel free to ask.

Good luck for you all in your immigration process.
