FSW and QSW

[owenhargo]

Hello , I have sent my Files for FSW last week and has received at the Immigration office (NS)yesterday (12th May 2014). But I am in a problem now.

i have applied for Quebec during December 2013 and haven't got any updates since last week. Also the DD i have sent has been expired by end of February (i checked with the bank during April and confirmed that the DD is expired and can be encased). And I understand from my consultant that the DD will be returned to me and I have to send a new one since it is expired.

But now i have received a letter from Quebec saying my file is open, with the file no (HAxxxxxxxxx). But No DD tagged.

what should i do now? will this be a problem for my FSW. I would liek togo ahead with FSW as i believe i could get in to the first 100 for my NOC.

please help me .

Thank You So much in advance!

Hi owenhargo,

I'm a newbie too but from what I read online there's no conflict between applying for the CSQ and applying for the FSW, since the CSQ is processed at the regional (Quebec) level while the FSW is processed at the federal level.
However, if you apply for the FSW now, and assuming your CSQ application is successful, you cannot later on use that CSQ to apply for the immigration visa as a Quebec Skilled Worker (since you already applied under the FSW program), at least while your FSW applicatioin is still being processed.

In my opinion, if you think your chances are good with the FSW then you should go for it; there's nothing that prevents you from pursuing it. You can also choose to keep the CSQ application process going in parallel (just in case) and if you do get it you can decide what to do with it, if anything, later on.
