A question about seniors interview with CIC office

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

My uncle and aunt received their invitation to appear for Citizenship interview. They both are over 55 years so their citizenship test is waived.
My aunt is not fluent in English and she is feeling a kind of fear that will CIC office ask her lots of questions? What kind of question will they ask? Will they issue RQ to a seniors ? etc etc.

I request fellow brothers and sisters to please share your knowledge, experience that how CIC deal with such seniors in interview.

Thanks,

Praveen

	For what I could see at my test, the couple of people older then 54 had an interview similar to everyone else, so only difference was they didn't take the test. I don't know how strict is CIC about the language knowledge, but that has nothing to do with RQ. RQ is issued if there is a problem with the residency condition, not the language. And, in my opinion, the fact that a person does not speak the language does not mean that was not living in Canada, specially if we are talking about older people. G.
