Ok guys, one thing to remember here is that our 2 GREAT nations are very similar. Usually what happens in the USA happens in Canada and vise versa. I would still request the interview to be done in english if I were the one being interviewed, especially if your english is fair. Why take a chance. Should you not show a genuine interest in the culture you are trying to emmigrate to? I would say that the far too personal questions that may be asked would happen in the relationships that look too questionable. The man is 57 and the woman is 23 say. I could see them asking some sexual questions in that type of relationship. My opinion on all of this about CIS interviews, spend the money and get an immigration lawyer. Follow his/her advise and think about your answers to the interviewer. I thought there was the option for us to be with them for the interview too. I personally would get my butt there and be with her, if I have that option. Take a personal family business leave from work. My employer before was very good about these type of leaves. I was not a model employee but I did not abuse their absentee rules. I know that some guys here may not have the finances available to just get up and go to china too. To spend several grand on a woman to receive a life of happiness is well worth it to me, even if I have to give up all the nice things in my life here. I can get them back later and even do this with her here. This is just my opinion. I am not trying to find fault with anybody here due to his/her financial situation either.

Maxx...get the hell out of our thread. The Canadian Government turned down your application to become a Canadian! Quit trying to pretend like you are one of us, by hanging out in the Canadian thread! haha
Dave...it'd be really great to get that information, as Rhonald, Chong, and I could be looking at interviews in the next several months. I am not sure if any other cdn's are at this stage yet.
I googled the CIS web site and read as much as I could. I did this last summer. I don't have the exact web page but you could look it up and start reading. I think the other forum, chnlove forum, had given me the idea to look at the web site. I have not gone through this process yet. The woman I am involved with is chinese and living in Singapore. Being chinese she will have to go through this process, I'm sure. Friends of my parents, their son has been through this process. I don't know how long ago or even how old they are. I am waiting to meet them when my parents get back from florida. I have a lot of questions for them.
