QSW 2013 APPLICANTS,LETS NETWORK N SHARE TIMELINES!

Hey Raistlin thats a perfect answer from you and +1 for you on his behalf. I was just about telling him not to even think of withdrawing his application until after exploring these two options.

He is at 55points, 2 points short of the preliminary marks for a couple. How many points did you get in IELTs? How long did you work before submitting your application in February? Its more than 6 months now and let's explore it to see if it takes you to another level.

I think before finally landing on your decision to withdraw, start by placing your complete profile here and let's see if we can work you up to 57pts even if it's gonna take you another 2 or 3 months to get it.

Du courage mon frere, Quebec nous attend.

Hey guys... thanks a lot for your advice...

Please allow me to explain a bit elaborately. Currently, I'm a single applicant.

I've got each band 6 in IELTS with 6.5 in speaking; that is giving me 4 points under old/new rule. My AOT (BBA, MBA) is in the 6 points category. All other things are very much same. With my DELF A2, I've got 6 points and got 53 points under old rule. But from August 1 (after reviewing the FAQs), I'm losing 6 points and thus end up with 47 points only.

My fiancee (not yet my wife officially) will adding me 8 points (B.Sc in ME and 7 months+ experience) and since the new french is applicable to her as well, so her DELF A2 will not give any points either.

According to old rule and after our marriage, we should have 63 points without adaptability. My marriage is scheduled at December and even after adding her, we will be ending up with only 55 (which is not passable). So, I'll have 2 points short now and even after marriage it will remain the same.

I know that I've IELTS options, and I can get 6/6 points over there but even that will only give me just a passable score. I also know that 6/6 is achievable in adaptability (interview), but that will be just too much to ask. It'll be like leaving everything to fate which is not a good decision I guess!

Achieving B2 ain't easy and for my case we'll require at least 2 years to enter the exam and results on hand will require another couple of months. Thus, practically we'll need another 2.5 months to get the B2 level.

I'm thinking of withdrawing the file because, it will be a needless change request to add the spouse knowing that you are not attaining a passable score. Does I need to waste (!) additional 160 CAD + Fedex expenses knowing the overall outcome?? You just can't play blind with your life.. Do you?

Hope I've made you guys understand my situation!

Guys. Help. Is there any official news released by the Quebec Govt regarding the number of applicants they already received since Aug 1? Is there any truth that 13,000 slots have already been filled up since Aug 1? How true is this? One agency told me about this and I dont know if I should believe it or not. Maybe its just their way of making me speed up my application. Thanks a lot!

I read an info session about this,

they said they are not counting the 20,000 for those who submitted before Aug. 1.

In the CSQ it's mentioned that if marital status of an applicant changes the points will be recalculated with new conditions considering spouse characteristics. Therefore it might cause a formal delay. You need to wait until your husband receives CSQ. I read somewhere that if a federal stage is almost complete and an applicant gets married he can write a petition to claim a PR for the spouse. Thus, it happens automatically without any new CSQ point recalculation or delays. Of course it's not always possible to plan such things as marriage exactly ;D but the smartest desicion is to get married after you've submitted a federal application; therefore evading the necessity for your spouse to obtain CSQ.

OOPs! when i called them, once they said u have no problem as u already have csq ,you will get for your husband. Next time when i called, they said we may recalculate the points.
I am just wiating for it badly because of my work permit is ending soon.
Thank u for the reply.
Are there any othere people like me?

"These are foreign students, temporary workers and live-in caregivers present in Québec."
This mentions those who are residing in Quebec only!

You probably meant PEQ applicants. There's a PEQ program for those who are currently working/studying in Quebec. They go in the first order of priority, but it's only for those who reside in Quebec on temporary visas.

That's the rough estimate for the selection interview wait time. The processing time will depend on your country of origin and citizenship. The place from where you applied doesn't matter at all. From what I read on the forum, as a rule the processing time for applicants from Middle East is around 2 years if their profession isn't in the priority list. If you have 12 or 16 points under AOT criteria in your application you're eligible for priority processing.

 

[armenchik]

2 years as overall process or 2 years for an interview call?

2 years as overall process or 2 years for an interview call?

If application isn't prioritized then 2+ years for an interview call is very likely. I'm not discouraging you in any case but there are people on the forum that have been waiting for 30 months or more to get a CSQ. Just be aware of the fact that it's very time consuming. And that's not only the case for Middle East region. Im my country as well. When I went to the test center to take a Tefaq I met applicants who applied in 2010 and are still waiting. That's because their AOT didn't appear in the priority list at the time they submitted the documents. I suppose only applicants from France might have an advantage in processing time.

 

[armenchik]

my lawyer told me it takes 1 year and a half for the interview

That's right, it's 10-16 months on average. But from what I read on the forum in practice people wait longer.
