Good afternoon folks. First some background. I am an Indian citizen married to a Canadian citizen and have been living in the states for more than 10 years. I recently came to Canada to get the H1B visa stamp and was put under 221(g) administrative processing. Thankfully I have a visitor...

As has been made clear in many threads on this forum, putting restrictions on where you can live violates the constitution. That being said, a province is granting you PR in good faith so that you may contribute to the economic developments there. If you have no intention of staying there from...

There is no shortage of applicants. The province of Quebec has an upper hand. They are also the only province which is not part of Express entry system. Hardly any people applying to Quebec would qualify under Express Entry or OOPNP etc.

A lot of people are hurt by Quebec's retroactive application of new rules. At the very least, you should make yourself heard. Make a phone call, write a letter, do whatever it takes to get their attention. It will likely not help your cause, but it might make them not be so careless and...

That has not been my experience. In general, I find the Canadian society to be much more friendlier and much less paranoid. But I live in the United States. My girlfriend lives in Quebec and I visit her every month. So far I haven't had any bad experiences in dealing with people. The only...

We are barely two weeks away from October 1. I doubt that the program will open up so quickly. Particularly since they are changing to online application. People will need some time to become familiar with requirements and it really won't be fare to open up applications right away. But what...

You may apply for Express entry or another province, but you must withdraw your EE profile when CSQ is being issued. Same thing for another province. Alternately, if you get an EE invitation, you must withdraw your Quebec CSQ application. Applications are likely to open very soon and if I had...

Wrong forum!

You must produce birth certificate. I frankly find it astonishing that Quebec asks for this. A passport is a de facto standard for establishing a person's identity and age throughout the world. They must not trust the passports.

How about you read a little first? There is plenty of information on these forums as well as on Immigration Quebec's website.

General attitude among newcomers seems to be not to do any groundwork in preparation for their application. Their preference is to be fed all information without having to do any reading, checking any requirements, or even simply googling. If that's the kind of workers Quebec brings in, the...

Statistics Canada is reporting that the GDP has decreased. There are two important facts here. 1. Oil and gas sector is in slump -- as evident from the low gas prices at the pump -- shrinking economy in these areas 2. Other sectors have actually seen growth. Just wanted to bring this up since...

I don't know specifics about India, I haven't lived there in 15 years. But I think you will need to contact the 'Income Tax Department'. There are plenty of Indians on these forums who have more specific information on the matter.

Wait for someone to chime in with how to add more information to your existing file at CIC. Their website may also have relevant information. Search "updating CIC file after provincial nomination" or something along those lines. The underlying assumption about PCCs is that the record is not...

Hi David, It is my understanding that it's best to send out the PCCs along with your Federal stage paperwork, instead of waiting for them to ask you. Of course if your application stays in processing for more than six months, you'd have to get a new PCC for the country you have been living in...

subtain: You time line indicates you received CSQ pretty fast. Can you give us some details on how many points you had and if your application was prioritized due to one or more factors?

Here is the news release that suggests the new system will open in early October 2015. www immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/informations/news/news-2015/new-tool.html

I just want to clarify something regarding the PCC issue date. What u/subtain suggested above applies only to the country where you are currently residing. If you lived in another country 5 years ago, but haven't lived there since and have no plans to live there in the immediate future, a PCC...

QUEBEC Immigration website is very clear about what they want as a proof of legality of your work experience. Not acceptable ------------------- Tax filing acknowledgements Anything issued by employer e.g. statement of earnings and taxes paid Anything provided by your tax consultant Acceptable...

Nope, don't have any further information. Just what's on Quebec's website. The October 1 opening is a speculation, from the Campbell Cohen's article on canadavisa.com. It is also not clear if we should fill out the existing PDF forms or whether they will have new forms available when the...
