TELUS PM interview questions

Applied online through the Telus job portal with a referral. I was contacted by a talent acquisition person 3 days later requesting for a phone interview that same week. The phone screening was around 30 minutes starting with questions of every position I held in the past. Then there were other behavioural questions. Two hours later I received a link to complete a behavioural test. Two weeks passed since this when I received a call from the hiring manager requesting a time to set up a video interview. The video interview was with the hiring manager and two directors. The questions were straight forward, and the people were very nice. In total, it was around 45 minutes. One week after the video interview, I got a call and an email from HR requesting for work references and consent to a background check. One week later, I received a job offer! A total of 1 month and 1 week from the first phone screening to job offer.

I interviewed with 2 ladies from Quebec. They were looking for a bilingual person, most of the interview was in French except 1 question was in English. The interview was on video call. The communication from one person was so poor considering I was interviewed by a telecommunication company. She didn't even care to use proper technology from home. The astonishing thing is when after 30min of the interview, I have been asked a couple of questions that I have never heard before; questions were of a discriminatory nature kind of " tell me where are you and I tell you who you are". Questions were: What is your native language ? Where are you originally from? At that moment that the interviewers are more interested to know my cultural background while I'm perfectly bilingual.
