I believe that's not entirely true. I have asked this multiple times to my Quebec-based immigration lawyer and he has always said that under FSW or QSW you get permanent residence in all of Canada. Main difference is, if you apply as QSW you indicate that you want to establish yourself in Quebec. If you end up establishing somewhere else besides Quebec, you can do it, but that would mean that you were not honest in your application and that could be an issue if you later intend to obtain citizenship. I suppose same thing goes the other way.

Thats correct. Leads to misrepresentation though technically, it would be allowed.

Is it true, i don't understand why will the application be cancelled if you give birth to a baby

The application won't be cancelled. Once you have your visa, there is no more application. Your application is closed. You can't add people to your application after it is closed and your visa is issued. Therefore if you have a baby after the visa is issued but before you land, your baby will not have a visa and can't get one. You will not be able to land (with the baby anyway) and your visa is subject to cancellation. It is absolutely true. So either have a baby before you get your visa and delay the visa so you can add the baby to your application, or make sure you land and have your PR cards in hand before giving birth.

Jaxon,

Agreed that no one can stop you from working in Quebec, but it is greatly discouraged. Why else is landing in Quebec not alllowed ?

Also OHIP or any other province health insurance programmes make a requirement that you stay in Ontario for 153 days out of your first 183 days in the province to get your OHIP or any other province health insurance programmes benefit. If you move away before this (6 months), you do not qualify to get OHIP any more and in Quebec, you will have a new 3/6 month waiting period to get health care. No one would want that. Why get into complications ? There is a separate programme fr quebec and FSW does not include Quebec, thats well known.

Though technically one can work in Quebec, it will lead to lots of problems for the immigrant.

what kind of problems ? man i know many people who applied for Quebec and moved and worked in toronto, and vise versa , i dunno from where you are getting your illustration ...

Ok and how are the results of Medicals are forwarded to Canada? Would a Designated Medical Practitioner in Mumbai send results of Medical Tests to London Visa Office?

Thanks

Hi !!

Under FSW, you cannot work in Quebec, though you can visit as tourists.

The province of Quebec is responsible for selecting its own skilled workers. If you plan on living in Quebec, see Quebec-selected skilled workers for more information.

Not true. You can work and live anywhere you want once you have your PR card in hand. You can't land in Quebec and I don't know whether they'd send your PR cards there, but once you are PR you can go absolutely anywhere you want in Canada.

Is it necessary to have Medical exams performed in the country where your VO is located?

For example, my VO is London VO. Can I get Medical done in say for example India? Difference in cost is so big that I can go to India for a few weeks to stay with my family and get Medicals done and still I would only end up spending couple of hundred extra pounds in total compared to costs of medical tests only in the UK!

You can get your medicals done anywhere.

Hello Folks.

I've a total of 2.4 (1.6 + 10 months) years of experience from two different jobs. Now, the Schedule 3: Economic Classes form has 'check boxes' for 1 yr, 2-3 yr, 4-5 yr and so on.

Now, how do I show the 10 months of experience. Also, another exp is of 1 yr 6 months. How do I show these fractional experiences?

Please advise. Thx

Already answered. Both are 1 year

I stand corrected. After PR card issued, it is fine to move to Quebec for work purpose.. But prior to that I maintain my stand.

I think this is incorrect. FSWP, as the name suggests, is a FEDERAL program which means, PR holder under FSWP can live, work and travel anywhere within Canada. But FSWP has a fairly strict quota of number of applications they approve per year. However, this isn't sufficient for most of the provinces. They still have shortage of people in certain occupations. So each province has it's own Provincial Nominee Program, under which each province can fulfill positions in demand by nominating foreign workers. However, in case of Provincial Nominee Program, immigrants can only work in province they are nominated for otherwise the benefit is of the program for Canada and the respective province is voided.

correct and +1
