Hello,

Has anyone received their CSQ recently? ( Information Technology (IT) and Visual Effects (VE) Pilot Program )

Here's the timeline of my application:

-I submitted my application on November 23rd.
-I received the Quebec Value Test on December 8th and submitted it on the same day.
-On December 22nd, the status changed to "Waiting for Treatment" ("En attente de traitement").

Since then, there has been a complete silence. I haven't received any updates or responses regarding my file.

Hello,
I am a Quebec graduate who has employment with AI company. However, I get my salary through Mitacs internship program, where the 3rd party ompany is involved. The AI company that I work for, is a partner company. Consequently, my pay slips are from 3rd party company. Am I still eligible? If anyone could answer this question, that would be great. thank you

Hi all,
I submitted my request under the Quebec Graduate + Francization for the AI pilot program on Dec 30th. Could anyone please let me know what will be the next step and the tentative waiting times? The next step would be to do the Quebec Value tests in a few days, and then wait for them to make a decision?

Thanks
Hi, can I know when did you get your CsQ? Any other additional documents were asked? Did you submit job offer or attestation of employment ?

Hi guys,
I received my CSQ last Tuesday. I had applied in AI stream francisation profile (Quebec graduates). It took 4 months since initial submission.
I have not received the paper version yet. Here is my timeline:

August 11th - submission of forms and payment
August 18th - Test des valeurs
September 15th - En attente de traitement
December 7th - Asked to submit 3 documents:
1) the application form filled and signed by hand not digitally
2) An employment letter (as I only had an offer when I applied) and started working in the AI position on October 3rd.
3) my last few payslips
December 13th - CSQ issued (electronically)

Note that I called them in early December and I feel it triggered processing of my file.
Hi, can you please let me know how many payslips you were asked to submit? Is that ok if I submit the last one only?

Hi,
For my timeline, you can check my signature below.

As for the other question, I put the attestation of employment, I don't recall them asking for more documents.

Hi,
Anybody changed their work place after CSQ application? If it is the case, is it required that we get new AVIS from tech-competences for the new employment, or just submitting new work attestation and payslips is enough?

Hi all,

I want to apply for this stream based on Quebec graduation. I have a question regarding the NOCs. As mentioned on the website; Check the maximum wage for your profession:


The maximum wage corresponds to the 9th decile of the wage for a profession, also called the “last decile”. The 9th decile or the last decile corresponds to 10% of the the best-paid wage earners in a profession.

To check the maximum wage (the 9th decile for your profession):

Consult the list below.

  • NOC 21223 - Database Analysts and Data Administrators - Hourly rate of $54.95;
  • NOC 21233 - Web Designers - Hourly rate of $48.08;
  • NOC 52120 - Graphic Designer and Illustrator, but only if you work in the visual effects sector*- Hourly rate of $46.15;
  • NOC 21232 - Software Developers and Programmers - Hourly rate of $60.00;
  • NOC 21230 - Computer Systems Developers and Programmers - Hourly rate of $52.88;
  • NOC 20012 - Computer Systems Manager - Hourly rate of $86.54;
  • NOC 21231 - Software engineers and designers - Hourly rate of $66.67;
  • NOC 21310 - Electrical and Electronics Engineers - Hourly rate of $67.31;
  • NOC 51120 - Producers, directors, choreographers and related occupations, but only if you work in the visual effects sector*- Hourly rate of $55.29;
  • NOC 41200 - University professors and lecturers, but only if their practice is related to information technology or visual effects*- Hourly rate of $81.73;
  • NOC 21211 - Data Scientists - Hourly rate of $55.29;
  • NOC 21220 - Cybersecurity Specialists - Hourly rate of $57.69;
  • NOC 21222 - Computer Specialists - Hourly rate of $60.51;
  • NOC 21221 - Commercial Systems Specialists - Hourly rate of $58.00;
  • NOC 52113 - Audio and video recording technicians, but only if your job is in the visual effects sector*- Hourly rate of $40.38;
  • NOC 52111 - Graphic design technicians, but only if working in the visual effects sector *- Hourly rate of $45.00;
  • NOC 22220 - Computer Network and Web Technicians - Hourly rate of $47.80;
  • NOC 22310 - Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technologists and Technicians - Hourly rate of $48.00;

But I am working on the following NOC and I got a positive response from Techno-compétences based on this situation.
21321Industrial and manufacturing engineers

So, can I apply for this stream or do I have to change the NOC before applying?

Thanks
