本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛下面就是我和移民官的对话。因为移民官的话我听得不是十分清楚,只好如实记录,没有听清的,就用省略号代替了。
IO: Please show me your passport and hukoubu. (她的确是这么说的,绝对不是Household Register)
M: OK.(护照和户口簿塞进柜台上的小口,她在电脑上记录着什么)
IO: Do you have a copy?
M: Yes. (面试前的晚上在酒店复印的,花了我2块一张)
IO: And your education certificates?
(我拿证书的时候,她离开了一会儿,回来时,手里拿着一份NOC的Editor 的Main Duties)
M: (我把四本证书拿出来,可是有一个太大,塞不进去)Should I take the certificate out?
IO: No. (我把能塞进去的,都塞进去了)
IO: Have you had any professional training?
M: Yes. I received one month’s full-time training in editing in 1997. This is the training certificate and its translation. (把培训证书以及复印件和翻译件塞了进去) And I had about two months’ part-time training in 2001. ( 说了一些有关培训内容方面的话) This is the certificate issued by our publishing house.
IO: What’s this? (手里拿的是我的培训证书)
M: That’s the professional training certificate I got after the one-month full-time training. (她好像有些心不在焉,要不就是我没有说清楚?)
IO: What are your main duties as an editor?
M: (这个问题我准备过) I think there are mainly three duties. Firstly, I solicit contributions from authors and evaluate their suitability for publication. And I also select titles from foreign book catalogues available, search the Internet for new titles and decide whether or not they are worth publishing in China. Secondly, I read and correct solicited manuscripts and the translations. Thirdly, I participate in cover and layout design of the books. I put forth certain requirements on the artistic design of the books and the designers do as required. Of course, I also work together with the marketing and sales departments in preparing promotional materials.
IO: Do you have any proof of your editing work?
M: I bring with me some books and tapes I edited.
IO: Show them, please.
M: (给她看了我的一些书籍,说了一些和书有关的话)
IO: Where is your name?
M: (指给她看了)
IO: Have you written anything?
M: I wrote a small book for children.
IO: Do you have it now?
M: Sorry, I did not take it with me. But I translated some books. Do you want to see any? I translated a book from Chinese into English. It was published last year by a Hong Kong press.
IO: Yes, please.
M: My name is here. (没等她问我,就自己指给她看了)
IO: I want to see your non-criminal …
M: (两份公证递进去)
IO: All right. Have you done any research about job … in Canada? (是不是到这一步就差不多通过了?不过我当时可一门心思跟她聊天呢,没有意识到这一点。)
M: Yes. I often visit websites like monster.ca, jobbank, worklogic. I have actually printed a few pages. Would you like to see them?
IO: No.
M: (看见她在忙着输入什么,我就接着说了)I know there are a lot of publishing houses in Toronto and some of them offer job openings on their website. They also recruit by posting ads on some professional job websites. And some employers prefer to refer to their employees to recommend. I believe my friends in Toronto would be of some help to me. Actually, my friend in Toronto has written me a letter and offered to help me settle down in Toronto. (我放慢语速,一边说,一边看着移民官,看她要不要看那封信。见她好像没有那个意思,我也就没有拿出来)
IO: …funds...?
M: Yes, I have a certificate of deposit issued by Bank of China.
(我在包里找的时候,她问我老婆几个问题)
IO: Do you speak English?
LD: Yes.
IO: You are a teacher?
LD: No. I am a sales at a foreign company.
IO: But your passport says you are a teacher.
LD: I started to work in the company in ….
(这时我找到了存款证明)
IO: …meet the requirements... medical examination…right of landing fee… Do you take medical examination in Hong Kong? (我没有听到类似于congratulations 或者accept的话)
M: Yes.
IO: …within 60 days... Pack up your things and leave the booth.
(说完,就拉下了窗帘。前后大约20分钟,面试结束了。)更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
