Guys as i promised , i have finished translating the session, please note:
1) this is my own translation from french to English and not official from any website.
2) the numbering of the question is not as they were answered in the session, because i skipped some questions that we are not interested in.
Here we go :
Question 1:
We have applied in the end of June, please tell me if the new rules will apply to us or not ?
Answer:
The most important thing, is the date at which the file was received and stamped.
If it was received before August 1st 2013, then old rules applies. Except for the language issue, even before August 1st, the linguistic requirements are still applicable. That will mean you will not obtain points for levels less than B2.
To make it easy, all applications received after 6 Dec 2011, will apply to new rules.
Question 2 :
How would I know about my file if it has started preliminary examination or not ?
Answer:
The person who makes the pre. Examination is the person who first checks your application for enough points, and make sure all documents are ok.
To know at what stage your file is, contact us ...... using the reference and file number.
Question 3:
I sent my application in 2011, will I apply to new list of formation ?
Answer:
If we received the file before Dec 6th 2011, then old rules that applies prior to this date applies to you.
If we received the file after 2011, but the preliminary examination has not yet begun, then new rules will apply to it.
So, I repeat .....
Question 4:
We have applied in the end of June ... I think I have already replied this question, I will not repeat it again .
Question 5 :
I have already received AOR, will the new rules apply to me ? as by this I will lose some points and the application will returned to me !
Answer: Non .. Non . . ! if you have already received from us AOR, that means we already started the preliminary Examination of your file, So, we will complete studying your file by the rules were in effect by the time we received the file .
Question 6 :
I I have received AOR, would that mean I have enough points?
Non, that does not mean that, AOR means we have received your file, and we have taken the fees, that means we attribute you with an personal identification, that is, an individual Reference Number.
But that doesn't mean we have selected you, no at all !
There must be preliminary examination, and points calculation, in the selection grid, and you will have the results of that by post... ASAP.
Question 7:
How much time I do have , before sending the B2 results ? after having the AOR ?
You cannot send the B2 result, if you didn't send it with the application.
( PS: he meant the Pre. Examination will depend on the info they had at the time the application was sent, but of course after getting AOR, you can send it AS AN UPDATE only )
Question 8:
I have sent my application in July 29th, will I apply to new rules ?
Answer:
Again, I understand there are new rules, so I will say again , the most important thing is the date at which we received the file, and to make it simple; If received between Dec 6th 2011 and before August 1st 2013, new rule will apply , unless if preliminary examination has been made.
Question 9 :
I have sent my app. In 2011, how shall I know if the preliminary examination have started , as I have the level B1 in French ?
If we received it before Dec 6th 2011, then old rules apply, if after this date and preliminary examination has not started yet then new rule will apply, but, anyway, you will b informed if any change will apply to you, ASAP.
Question 10 :
How much does it take to withdraw the money from us after opening the file ?
That shouldn't take much time ! not more weeks for sure.
Because this is the first thing should be done before starting the preliminary examination.
Good luck to all of us.
