We have compiled a list of general questions asked for the same. Before starting, lets understand a bit of how the interview works.

The Canadian Study interview is an essential step in studying abroad. After submitting your application with proper documents, you must provide your bio-metrics. After following the procedure, you will receive a call to attend an interview.

How the Canadian study-centric interview works

The immigration officer interviews the Canadian Embassy/Consulate in your own country. The immigration officers task is to assess your application and then approve or reject the same accordingly. The sole purpose of this interview is to establish that you are a genuine student who is going to Canada for studies only.

If you want to crack your Study-related interview, the key is to prepare well for the conversation. The first step towards your preparation is to ensure you have all the necessary documents and know the procedure. If you know everything, then congratulations, half the battle is already won!

The second most crucial part of preparing for the interview well is getting familiarized with the different kinds of questions being asked in an interview and preparing your answers well.

Our experts have compiled a list of questions that you are most likely to be asked:

Questions regarding your career plan

The immigration officer will ask you about your career plans and where you plan to work in the future? Make sure to connect all your answers well to tell them about your career plan. Also, make sure to include your academic and employment background (if applicable).

Questions about your academic/ employment history

In addition to your plans, the immigration officer would want to know more about your current employment. They also want to see if you have any gap years in your studies and employment history.

Your academic potential

The immigration officer would also want to know your latest qualifications and scores in various English language proficiency tests, i.e., IELTS and TOEFL or GRE/GMAT (if applicable). They would further want to check your grasp of the English Language ad well, to see if you can live and

- What do you know about Canadian Culture and the country?

- What do you know about the education system in Canada?

- Why are you not studying a particular course in your homecountry?

- How studying in Canada will help you in your long-termcareer plans?

Your financial background
