Last year, I started a dual process to immigrate to Canada (FSW and Quebec).

I speak English better than French, but I am learning it... Not really concern about the language.

Last month, I just received the CSQ, (no interview) and also, just received a letter from CIC staying that I have succeed In one selection phase, and that I need to continue with next phases.

Now, I need to decide how to proceed.... any suggestions. I need to choose one process, continue with the Provincial or the Federal.

Which might be the differences between this processes? How is the labor market in Canada compared to Quebec.. Any idea? Which process is faster.

Any advise is welcomed…

i dont know the difference between the process or which one is faster, but with CSQ, you are supposed to land in Quebec. With FSW, you are supposed to land anywhere else, so you may have more options with FSW.

can anybody give feedback on their experience for the Quebec selection interview? I'm about to have mine in a few months, and please give as much detail and advice as possible.


Here is what specifically is I need to know:

0. which office in the world was ur interview, and what did you bring to the interview?

1. what did the office look like? describe how many people were in the office, what was the atmosphere like, and describe how the environment felt.

2. did ur scheduled interview start on time, or how long did u have to wait?

3. describe what ur interviewer was like. (gender, age, race, nationality, personality, etc.)

4. what mood was the interviewer in?

5. what specific questions were asked of you.

6. how long was the interview.

7. how many minutes was the interview in french, and how many minutes in english or other languages.

8. what did the interviewer make u do, aside from answer his/her questions?

9. were you required to show any documents proving your French language proficiency? what did the interviewer ask from you, and what was his/her reaction of each document?

10. what was the decision given to u by ur interviewer, and how did he/she say it?

11. what were you required to give or pay if anything, or give any documents?

12. On a scale from 1 to 100, please rate your French language proficiency. Please specify each for spoken, written, and listening.

13. What style of clothes did u wear to the interview? I'm thinking if it's necessary to wear formal suit and necktie clothes, or is casual (like polo shirt and slacks)?


Please share as much as you can. Thank you.
