CSQ 2024 timeline - PEQ and QRSW

[quelqun]

I already applied with 2 different tests will they reject it or they will ask me to do the test again?

I would assume they'll ask you for the proper test results. I suggest you pass TEFAQ listening asap so that you can attach the results before they even start processing.
My friend did something similar, but he applied with only one valid part of TEFAQ, another part was B1. Then in a month or two, once he passed another part, he attached it and it all went well.

Hi All.. I made the payment and submitted my application on October 26th. Since then, I have been waiting for the customized document list and the Quebec Values Test. Is this waiting period normal?

Yes it’s taking a lot of time to process.

I can confirm that, it's not allowed, it must be the same exam type, I had the same question about mixing DELF and TEFAQ, so you need to pass TEFAQ listening.

Hi, is it written somewhere that it has to be same exam type. or its unwritten rule. By any chance, did you apply by mixing DELF and TEFAQ . If so, what was mifi response.

I wasn't able to find a direct rule that clearly prohibits it. But when I asked this question to an immigration lawyer, he said that it must be the same exam type.
However, multiple attempts to pass different parts of the same exam type are acceptable.
I applied with both parts of TEFAQ passed, but also attached DELF results just to show that I've tried So in case you have a failed exam attempt I would suggest attaching it as well, just to show MIFI that you were learning hard

Hello everyone,

As a person who found helpful information from this website, I thought of sharing my own timeline and issues. Hope it is of help to anyone concerned.

I applied for CSQ through PEQ Foreign Worker stream, for my mother who currently works in a school board as administrative assistant and my younger brother as a dependant. Thus my mom is the principal applicant.

All in the year 2024
June 21st - PEQ application submitted.
July 2nd - Value test requested, done the same day
October 1st - Value test requested again (!!!!) - called 3 times to make sure it was an error. MIFI confirmed each time that on their system all is fine, but on arrima it kept saying value test requested until...
December 5th - Back to En attendre de traitement.
December 10th - Intention to reject, requesting proof of Work Permit extension (mom's work permit expired in August) and Notice of Assessments for last 3 years, although work stub, etc and all were previously submitted.
December 11th - En traitement
December 13th - Acceptation de demande de selection permanent.

No interview was requested, which from my lawyer is about 50/50 chance.
Thank you. Hope it helps.

Hello, it was PEQ therefore I believe there was no acceptance of the invitation. In any case, I meant the document submission.

Well there have been updates on the arrima page and they said that the max processing time being 6 months is lifted off, now god knows when the csq will be given

hi,

As per the advice, wrote listening part and got B2. But there was no option to upload this result in the ARRIMA. We have submitted the application on 6th Dec. For a week or so, there was an option to upload any new files. I don't see it now. How did your friend attached the result? Also, if uploading is not possible, do we need to send it by post? please let me know.

So this is only for the PRTQ I take it or does it apply to PEQ as well?
