    QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

    Hello, I have this situation 1. In mid 2011 I submitted my application to the BIQ 2. In the meantime I started looking for a job in Canada and was unexpectedly successful. An Ontario-based employer sponsored me for a temporary work permit which was issued in May 2012. 3. Also in May 2012 the...

    If a selection mission is coming to your city, with how much time in advance should you receive your invitation to go there and get interviewed? A selection mission is coming to my city next month and will be here during November (almost the whole month). I have not yet received any...

    I have another question. I sent my application to the BIQ without a job offer. What if I get a job offer from a Québec-based employer in the meantime ? Best, Lenny

    Guys, Today I received by email my first AOR ever. I applied on July 18 and today is August 9 so this first AOR took 17 business days to arrive. It looks earlier than expected. I thought I was going to receive a letter (paper) my regular mail in ~2 months as per comments from other applicants...

    Thank you egrace, mkhash and DONSOFT. I also think my first AOR took less time than expected. To everyone: I filed a complete application with all the documents required on the official site www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca and I was very strict with myself to ensure everything was enclosed...

    Guys, A few minutes ago I received my first ever reply from the BIQ I sent my application to. It is the AOR. My application has been assigned a dossier number and they will now proceed to charge my credit card. It was an email and it says " this message will only be sent electronically". I...

    Hi It varies. From what people say the AOR usually takes between 1 - 2 months to arrive to your local address. Here is something important: the BIQ may take a couple of weeks to open your application and send the AOR letter. But since they always use **regular mail** to reply once you receive...

    Kaps1706, I am not from India. I do not know which language institutes take the TEFaQ in your country. If you are determined to go to Québec, Canada, then it is worth investing in learning French and making the trip abroad to take it. Best, Lenny

    Hi Fiirm, I am relying mostly on my very small but helpful network of close friends and relatives already living in Québec. I strongly recommend that you do this since personal references are very important. Best, Lenny

    Guys, I am fairly new in the forum and recently filed my application. I am already actively networking with Québec-based potential employers with very good responses and feedback. If in the next few weeks I get a job offer from one of them I will obviously submit a copy of the JO to the BIQ...

    Well. In addition to the new work certificate I just realized I forgot to enclose the first payslip of my current job (I only enclosed the last one from last month). So it is something required but missing in my application. But it makes sense to me that I should have some reference number...

    Guys, Is it ok if I send via DHL another work certificate that looks much better than a certificate included in my initial application package? The one I got today is more specific and accurate about the positions, responsibilities and tasks that I had in my previous job. What do I say...

    Hi Caribgrl, What does the CSQ look like? I guess it is just a formal letter but which information does it contain regarding one's case and the next steps of the application process? Thanks and best of luck, Lenny
