Thanks dear. Please send to me also fobee.eu@googlemail.com.

After being burnt in my zealous quest to relocate to a french-speaking province of Canada - namely Quebec - for lack of adequate points, I have returned from my 4 month hibernation stint to give it another go. ;D Destination: Nova Scotia (francophone parts) :D Area: Community Identified...

Congratulations CaribGrl! Best wishes all the rest of the way!

Hi Stillhope, Good to see you here too. Hopefully, it would hold at the same time so we'd better start brushing up on our french conversational skills ;D

Hi QSW forum-ites, I received my AOR/file review notification June 7th and these are my timelines: File received at BIQ: Sept 13th Notification of payment not received: late Jan 1st AoR and Request for up-to-date Contract of Financial Self-Sufficiency: mid April 2nd Aor: June 7th I am an...

Re: (No subject) So very glad for you eGrace. May good fortune continue to dog your steps through this journey.

I do understand the situation as I've got friends in some of the gulf states. You might have to present BIQ with a different correspondence address from your residential. Like most members would advise, get to a defined level in the process (e.g. CSQ stage), then give them your new address...

@egypt2011, On a general note, I'd say email is not an option. However, it depends on your local BIQ office. BIQ Paris stated clearly to me via letter that 'they do NOT respond to queries by email or phone call' and so it has to be the good ol' postal service. It might be different for your...

@Kanaman: Big-Ups to you. Wish you loads of the same goodness and generosity too.

Congratulations to everyone who received good news - either at the CSQ or PPR visa stage. Glad I've returned to positive tales of progress. My file is being evaluated at the moment (according to my 2nd AOR), and I should know the outcome of the CSQ stage soon enough. Keep your fingers crossed...

Great stuff Mansour! The Quebec advisers are nothing short of wonderful. I'm glad that's all sorted. Now all you need do is go back to being patient till your AoR arrives in the post. Cheers.

Ay, Joidiple. You're much welcome. Maybe we could all start an online french-conversation practice group for this forum via skype sometime. I sure wish I'd bumped into this site before I sent my initial app. Seems as though June's the best submission month for getting rapid responses from BIQ...

Hi Mansoor, The reply button is not yet active on my inbox, so I'll have to leave some guidance here. My advice is call BIQ Paris and explain you are worried your file might be lost and you need to confirm it has been delivered so you don't send another set of documents to them. They'd request...

Hi Joidpile you can also practise your spoken french by downloading free mp3 audio lessons from the rocketfrench website. It helps you with the basics and pronunciation too. You and your spouse can practise speaking to each other. Try listening to some good french tunes too, it helps me with...

@ eGrace: stay upbeat, you've already made much progress - I see from your profile status - so, as long as you have something doing to keep you occupied meanwhile, the weeks would fly past before you realise it. @ Am goingx2: 'Non-relevant' means it's not related to my training or my intended...

@I'm goingx2, It's not as though they're ineff', just that they have some ranking method as to the order of files to attend to. Your main concern should be submitting your initial applic' ASAP, so you can wait on the AoR at your leisure. I'm in the UK on a work permit, so for me time is very...

eGrace, Mille mercis for your encouragement. There's nothing more discouraging than the absence of feedback. It shouldn't take too much to say, 'yeah we've got your docs'! I pictured my poor application lying in some dark and dingy alleyway in Paris, with all my lifetime credentials - and the...

Salut! tous le monde, Sept 13, 2010 - sent my CSQ application from the UK. (Training: legal profession; Experience: non-relevant financial services) (Royalmail tracking confirmed it was signed for on 20th of Sept) Deafening silence till Feb 2011. So what did I do? Called BIQ Paris countless...
