If this question was about one of the federal programs (e.g. federal skilled worker, family class) - then the answer would be that the date which matters is the day on which the application was received.

However Quebec can make its own rules.

Quick question to Stylove or to anyone who has knowledge on this topic. How does the retroactive implementation of the new laws/rules affect applications submitted before July 31. 2013? I've read somewhere that retroactive implementation of the laws will apply to applications which have not yet undergone preliminary screening. If preliminary screening is based on the AOR wouldn't that mean that applications from 4-6 mos(since this is the timetable for the AOR) woulod be retroactively assessed? Or as long as you submitted your file before Aug 1 2013 the old rules will still apply?Please share your thoughts. Thanks!

Sorry this retroactive issue is really controversial. several calls have been made to the qsw office and more than 10 different answers are given by different call attendants. so we all WAIT fot the 31st 8)
