Hey folks,

I am very confused and hoping I can find help here. I have no knowledge of French and scored 8 band in IELTS. I have 5+ years of work experience and am an Aerospace Engineer. I qualify for FSWP (74 points) and QSW (49 points). At this point I am having issues summing the settlement funds.

Questions I have:
1. Isn't FSWP for residing outside Quebec in Canada and QSW for residing in Quebec?

2. Can I apply for both FSWP and QSW 2013? Won't the Canadian Immigration Dept. get confused and question me on where do i really want to move?

3. How much settlement funds/proof of finances are required for QSW 2013? I know for FSWP 2013 for single applicant it is CAD11115.

4. Do I need separate applications of FSWP and QSW? Correct me if I am wrong: For QSW, we need to first file for CSQ; and after obtaining the CSQ, apply for PR with Centralized Immigration Office of Canada. So, does that mean, unlike FSWP, QSW is independent of any processing by local VOs?

5. Is the processing time for QSW longer than FSWP?

6. Will I have to learn french to pass the interview/immigrate to Quebec (I believe I have to give the adaptability interview since I have 49 points only)

Thanks sooooo much in advance guys. I would highly appreciate any response. Thanks again
