Not to brag, but my husband has a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge (the one in England, the country in which he was born and raised). He has also taught there, and at two other well-regarded English universities. So what did he do yesterday? He spent all day, as well as $250, being tested on his command of the English language-- a requirement for obtaining permanent residency in Canada. Part of the test involved an oral interview; at the end of it, the interviewer smiled wryly, made sure the tape recorder was turned off, and said 'Thank you for playing the game.' Nice little earner for the testing company, eh?
Harrrumph.
