Thanks, Signalmaker, for the translation. My question is, if old rules are going to be applied with the exception of French language skills wherein one needs B2 level in order to get points, how come this is not published at all in the website? Or is it published and I just missed it? What I...

For your first question, I think they expressly requested for a true copy of the birth certificate. If you are going to provide them with the national ID card, I guess you will have to thoroughly explain to them why and it will be subject to the Immigration Officer's judgement. For your second...

Yes, I did call during working hours. I already figured it out, there was something wrong with my phone. Anyway, I tried using another method and it worked. :D

It would be great if they could publish that online. :) Right now, nothing seems to be transparent with the way they handle our applications for CSQ. They can't even say if our files are already being reviewed or not! :'(

I'm just basing this on a link that was shared previously in this forum. http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=fr&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=hu&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2.publicationsduquebec.gouv.qc.ca%2FdynamicSearch%2Ftelecharge.php%3Ftype%3D7%26file%3DGPI-3-1.pdf&act=url. I quote: "-meet...

Is anybody having trouble calling BIQ Montreal a few hours ago, when they were still open (for August 6, Tuesday)? I'm just getting a busy tone... Is it really busy or their phone system is down?

I think that unless you have very high scores already (like maybe high 70's) without points for AOT (as in the case of the principal) or minimal points for AOT (if the spouse becomes the principal applicant), your file will be shoved at the bottom of the pile. In my opinion, the AOT is basically...

That's great! At least you already know that you have already reached the minimum passmark and can work your way up from there. Furthermore, your additional qualifications will work in your favor when the reviewer or the interviewer looks at your file. I don't know if this will help, but it...

Try starting with this online evaluation tool by Quebec's Immigration site: http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/immigrate-settle/permanent-workers/epi.html to see if you qualify. Then try Cohen's site (actually, THIS site) to manually compute and know how many points you actually have...

Ooops, sorry, left this out. If you're talking about CSQ application, AOR should be received in 4-6 months per website: http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/immigrate-settle/permanent-workers/official-immigration-application/immigration-application/index.html

From what I've read in their site before (can't find the page now), they said that they will not disqualify applications based on lack of B2 French level for as long as you reach the preliminary passmark (57 for married), and in my opinion, most especially if you score 12 or 16 in their AOT...

You'll find all the information to apply here: http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/. Start first with the online self-evaluation. If you pass that, then you can start calculating your points to figure out if you've reached the passmark to get a CSQ (63 for married, 55 for single) , or...

Why not call the immigration office to see what they say? :) Did they return ALL of your file to you, including all the forms and documents? Do you already have an AOR/Recu stating that your payment has been encashed (this paper gives you your File Number)? And how did you arrive at the...

My take on this is that if you're going to submit an application without ticking the French language box, you need to have reached at least the preliminary passmark of 57 for married couples. Else, they might just return your application if you don't get enough points. In the interview, you can...

Maybe it's a tactic of theirs so that people who want to submit under the new rules will be delayed in sending in their applications because they'll have to wait for the new rules to come out first. This would equate to less applications, less work for them, and they can have the time to work on...

All of those exams are recognized by Quebec Immigration, so you can choose any one of those. Per new rules, B2 really is the level you need to attain for you to get points. Levels A1, A2 and B1 don't get any points anymore. However, if you really just want to take an exam to assess your level, I...

Just wanted to share that I asked the last agent I talked with what the 'levels' (his term) are of the application process. He said, 1) Receipt, 2)Payment, 3)Preliminary Process, 4)Interview and 5)CSQ. Then, I asked him where my application stands, and he said that he couldn't say because he...

How come with you and the agents it's always a 'yey' or a 'no' with regards to the application of old rules, but with me it's always 'I cannot confirm'?! For once I'd like to hear a 'yey' just for the heck of it! ;D Not that I would believe them... :P

That's wonderful news, indeed! Good luck! :)

Engineer2003, Which BIQ is this? And do those 2009 and 2010 candidates belong to the priority AOT list (those getting 12 or 16 points in their AOT)?
