2008年6月，我们到达加拿大满3周年的时候，申请了入籍加拿大。2009年2月，我和妻子收到通知，在2009年3月5日参加入籍考试。考试的地点在我们附近的scarborough town center，时间是下午1:30。

　　尽管离考试地点不远，只有5公里的路，我们还是早早的到达了考试地点，提前1小时到了考场的等待厅。当然，我们不是最早的，我们前面已经到了 10来个人，到1点的时候，厅里已经坐满了人，包括陪考的人。

　　在1点20左右，主考官，1个高大的黑人出来，让年龄满55周岁的参考人士先进去面试，因为他们不需要笔试。于是进去了4个人，大约10分钟的时间，他们全部完成面试离开。在1点30，主考官让所有的参考人员进入考试厅，但要求同一家庭的成员要分开的远一些。考试厅里有42个考试座位，就是旁边有个写字板的大椅子，椅子上面放着答题用的铅笔(有橡皮)。大椅子的写字板大部分在右边，但有6个在左边，以满足写字左撇子使用，我是稀里糊涂坐在了左撇子的座位上，但也没有觉出别扭来。参加考试的有40人，本以为在scarborough考试，至少还不得一半中国人，实际只有8个，其他的什么色的都有。

　　考试分两部分，面试和笔试，面试在先。

　　面试是一个档案一个档案进行，3个考官分开在讲台前进行。考官说面试的目的是考核你的语言是否已经达到要求和核对材料。我看到主要是核对和补充材料。有些人要补充身份证件的复印件，有的还要补充住址等。个别人由于带的资料不全，被要求考完时候再来送次资料。

　　我和我老婆是一个档案，所以一起见考官。考我们的是个中国人，性格开朗，由于我们的资料全而清晰，没有在资料上费时间。他问我是05年来的，我说是;他说来了以后离没离开过加拿大，我说没有;他又问，有没有吃过官司，我说没有;他又问我来了就开始工作，我说当然了;他说，这么说你是个好人了，我说当然了，他说是有时候吧，我回答说，一直是呀。于是就让我回到座位，继续考我老婆。问来了以后离开过加拿大(都要问此问题)，老婆答没有;问吃过官司(都要问)，答没有;问现在工作、公司名字、岗位(有工作的都要问);问有一个孩子(有孩子的都要问相似问题，其中一个有4个孩子的泰米尔妇女被问大孩子上几年级)，答是;你女儿多大了?答没有女儿，(考官赶紧翻资料)你是儿子呀。然后就结束了。

　　由于一半以上的人需要补充资料，而且有的人英语奇差，连 do you work? 都听不懂，所以面试竟然用了75分钟时间。由于语言不好的人还是在一半左右，所以主考官的语速经常比voa special english的播音员还要慢一倍，而且发音表情夸张。

　　接下来是笔试。只是用答题纸答，试题放在夹子里。考试题为20个选择题，都是4选1的选择题。其中与选举有关的16、17两题必须答对，18、 19、20题必须答对1题，这些在前面的黑板上和考题纸都有说明，考官也有口头说明。考试题共有abcdef 6套。我老婆考的是e，我考得是d。考题很简单，能做温哥华的一个图书馆的模拟试题的，都没有问题。大家基本都在2到10分钟交卷回家。

　　答题纸实际上当场就读出来了，只是他们不当场告诉你结果而已。黑板上写着，考试通过人员，将在2到4月内收到参加入籍仪式通知。但一个朋友是2 月12日考的，现在已经收到通知，在3月12日参加入籍仪式。另外，我们认识的几家参加入籍考试的朋友，都是在周四参加考试，不知道是巧合还是周四是考试日。
