Hi guys, a few questions. I will start my Federal stage of application soon,
First, do I need to send them notarized copies of my educational certificates with the application? If not now, will I require notarized documents at a later stage?
Second, I am in Canada since last 4 years. Do I need police clearance certificate from Canada and/or my home country?
Third, in the application form IMM0008, CSQ number is Numero du dossier or Numer de reference individuel?
Fourth, just to confirm, I will have to send original copy of CSQ?
Fifth, my ielts score expired before the federal application, do I need to send a new IELTS score? My NOC is level A.
Thank you.
1. to my best knowledge, educational certs are not required for QSW at the federal stage. But i have seen ppl sharing that CIC sometimes actually asks for them (I am really not sure in what occasions would that be)
2. You don't need PCC from Canada; but for all countries that you have stayed for more than 6 months since the age of 18, you will need to obtain the PCC and submit the originals alongside your application.
3. I was recently asked by a friend of the same question. I checked my dossier and my answer is : The CSQ number you need to put on the application form is the numéro de dossier on the CSQ, that is, the one that looks like C0001234567. (that is, item 2 on the CSQ).
4. yes, you have 2 original copies of CSQ from Immigration-Québec, one for requérant (applicant), another for Immigration-Canada (you should locate this somewhere at bottom-right corner of the copy). Enclose the one for Canada (original copy) in your application.
5. scores for language tests are not required for QSW at the federal level, like #1, the checklist for the application should show clearly that these items are only applicable to FSW, but not to QSW.
Hope these answer your questions. Cheers
