Ours was all about Canadian history, its institutions and political system. The examiners assessed your language ability more-or-less in passing - are you able to understand the instructions for the test and answer probing questions about your application.<br /><br />Yours sounds like it was all about the language. I guess there's a psychology thesis in there somewhere about the things that matter to immigration officials in different countries.<br /><br />I hope you did well. I'm sure you did.Botanisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098709722475364465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5691193709206281737.post-77276267866492310372012-09-21T16:51:08.951-07:002012-09-21T16:51:08.951-07:00Oh wow.
