Great preferred! Have they outlined to you the requirement to join the professional order? Of course most of their website is in French. I get the impression I would not be able to do anything until I land in Quebec. Is that your impression? I sent an email on Friday and I am awaiting their response.Preferred said:
Thanks for the detailed information Preferred. I responded to your first message before seeing this one.Preferred said:
The procesing time varies greatly depending on visa office but in most cases interview is scheduled within 10-16 months after AOR if you don't have a waiver.armenchik said:
After several countries reformed their offices applications were redirected to Montreal. That's the main office anyway and it shoud be fast. If your profession is in the priority list you can be called for an interview in several months. In the mean time work on your french as much as you can. I read in different threads that applicants from Middle East got the slowest processing time like 2-3 years waiting, but I'd say the most important factor that determines processing time is AOT and not the location from where you applied. For example based on what I read applicants from Eastern Europe have their applications processed fast, but when I went to take a TEFAQ in the test center I met people who had 2 degrees and a good french (B2), and even then they've been waiting for 2,5 years because their AOT wasn't prioritized. Thus, I wouldn't generalise that some countries have priority over the others in the processing time. Having an occupation in the priority matters more then french.armenchik said:
You shouldn't have hired a lawyer if you aren't certain about your points. That's not good just to rely on someone blindly without knowing the process yourself. That's the way to be scammed badly.

Have you checked the link Ievgen sent to you? did you find your profession? if yes, under how many points for area of training? If 6, then pray to God to have the best option: an interview call by the end of this year, or in the early half of next year....else you might wait till about end of next year.....armenchik said:
We can't estimate the processing time exactly because the rules recently changed and I hope they'll process applications more efficiently from now on. Under old rules non-priority occupations took 2 years or more to wait for an interview. I don't want to discourage you, but that won't be soon. Try to work on your french and get more points. It's better and faster to waive an interview than to wait for it.armenchik said:
