Pretty much it, probably not "normal" but they prolonged the processing times so not much you can do but be patient

How complex were the subjects if you don’t mind me asking? Or what were they about in broad terms

They were topics unrelated to each other. For example, they asked me about how I learnt French (telling a story at B2 level basically). I'd say you should prepare for any surprises.

Hi everyone, just want to ask if anyone got the same situation. For me, 9 months waiting already, but one of my French test result is going to be expired. Will I need to submit a new test result while this long waiting time? Thanks.

Hi, same page here. As I know your exams must be valid when you submit your application. However, what is your application status? did you get an avis de verification letter?

Hi,
Yes, when I submitted the application my result was valid and my result is still valid now. What I mean is I am afraid it will be expire soon because I got that result almost a year before my application submitted. I have been wait for 9 months and since I received avis is already 5 months, and what they told is just stay patient.

Hi, Any family (Applicant & spouse ) who applied for csq together appeared for the interview with MIFI? My question is whether the spouse needs to attend the interview or only the main applicant.
Please share your experience.

Hi
Congratulations for the approval!
I would like to know if you are in Quebec. I started my application in Montreal but now I´m in my country. I received the CSQ approval by email in Januery but I didn´t receive the physical document. I would like to know if I need to ask MIFI to send the CSQ to my actual address. Thanks.
