This thread is created for All applicants of Quebec Skilled Worker (QSW) Category.
Quebed Skilled Worker Category has undergone tremendous changes since 5th DECEMBER 2011.
So, there was a need to create a separate thread for all new applicants post 5th-dec-2011.
Everyone who has either applied after 6th December 2011, or who wants to apply under QSW now can contribute his knowledge to help others.
In fact, I myself is pre-6th dec 2011 applicant. But after spending so much time on the forum and gaining some knowledge about QSW immigration, I think we all can help each other by this way.
So, welcome to the forum and seek help or provide help.

Brief summary of recent changes done in qsw immigration rules:
1st change: SCORE OF 16 out of 25 pts to get points in any level of DELF. Effective from Sept 2011. Refer to GPI-3-1 edition of Sept-2011.
2nd change: to send all documents and application for PR at federal stage to CIO, nova scotia instead of VO.
3rd change: mandatoty to submit language
certificates to claim points for language proficiency, effective 6th dec 2011
4th change: increase in fees to CAD 406, effective
1st Jan 2012,
5th change: new forms are introduced and
documents checklist is a must to be attached with
all applications, effective Feb 2012,
6th change: introducing cap for Quebec immigrant applications, dividing qsw applications in 3 groups, effective 21st March 2012;
7th change: increasing fees to 750 CAD which is
now almost double than fees before 6 months.
Effective from 1st april 2012.
And what I heard is that still some more changes
are going to come...
So, what they have done since Sept-2011 is to
streamline quebec immigration process by
tightening the rules and procedures and
introducing more strict rules....
Reason is very evident to all. FSW cap is only 10000 and people started using qsw as a backdoor to enter canada. After getting PR under qsw people moved to another province.
Quebec Immigration authorities have accepted in their every official communication since Nov 2011, that flow of applications is increased which has increased the overall processing time, even time to send AOR was increased to 60 days from just 30 days and they are not finding it comfortable going further with such situation any more.
Hence, the result is change in immigration rules.
This changes are not going to affect those who
have already submitted their applications before the date of change, so for them it is just to watch and wait for our turn... In the time, we must prepare ourselves to get accepted with our credentials.
May GOD Almighty bless all!
