Hi Sujai,

a couple of things which you need to get right.

There is a 'cap' / 'quota' system in place for the FSW.
There is no cap for QSW.

There is a 'list' of NOCs / professions which are eligible to apply under FSW.
There is no list as such for Quebec. Anyone can apply. Selections will be made based on the total score and the chances of the applicant's ability to integrate / contribute to quebec.

Check out the thread for Quebec applicants.

Software engineers dont figure on the current list for FSW anyways.
The photography diploma wont give you any additional points. (pls double check)

Its better to have all your docs and scores and then apply. This will speed up your application. Hope you've already enrolled for french classes.

here are some links to get you going.
