QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[bosschips]

There are three solution:-

1. Ask your courier company not to deliver and return you back the packet if it is not reached to Quebec visa office.
2. Call on help line and tell your situation (you can get number and contacting person from this forum) if your documents reached
3. Send missing form with cover letter and attach a copy of other forms + copy of shipment receipt (visa office could trace your application from this)

solution 1 is the best imho

Major Changes to Canadian Citizenship Act Announced Today

Canadian Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander today revealed plans for comprehensive reforms to the Canadian Citizenship Act. These are the first major reforms to take place since 1977. The changes are part of Bill C-24, which has yet to be passed by Canadian Parliament.

The Act is being reformed to address citizenship issues on a number of fronts. In its overhaul of the program, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is seeking to make the following changes:

1. Introduce legislation that will streamline the overall program;

Reduce the application review process from three steps to one step, thus speeding up processing
Increase citizenship fee applications from $100 to $300
Require up-front proof of certain requirements
Change certain elements of the judicial review and appeal process as well as the process for issuing discretionary grants

2. Modify residency and other requirements that will ‘reinforce the value of Canadian citizenship’;

Increase residency requirements from 3 out of 4 years to 4 out of 6 years
No longer count time spent in Canada as a non-permanent resident toward citizenship residency requirements
Require citizenship applicants to declare their intent to reside in Canada
Require applicants to file Canadian income taxes
Expand the age group for applicants required to demonstrate language proficiency and take a knowledge test from 18-54 to 14-64
Extend citizenship to ‘lost Canadians’

3. Crack down on citizenship fraud

Designate a regulatory body whose members may act as consultants in citizenship matters
Increase penalties for citizenship fraud
Streamline the process of revoking citizenship in exceptional cases

4. Introduce new rules intended to ‘protect and promote Canada’s interests and values’

Fast-track citizenship applications for permanent residents who join the Canadian Armed Forces
Introduce the ability to revoke or deny citizenship to individuals who commit ‘acts of terrorism or acts against Canadian interests’
Expand citizenship by descent rules so that children born to Crown citizens working abroad may pass on their citizenship
Bar citizenship for individuals charged with or convicted of serious criminality abroad
Update the Citizenship Act to ensure that international adoptions are done in accordance with the Hague Convention on Inter-country Adoption

“Our government is strengthening the value of Canadian citizenship,” said Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander. “Citizenship is a pledge of mutual responsibility and a shared commitment to values rooted in our history. I am pleased to bring forward the first comprehensive and overdue reforms of the Citizenship Act in more than a generation.”

No, you do not need them to submit along with initial application.A submission of contract respecting financial self sufficiency with your signature in this stage is enough. You may need them on the process of federal part.

Review of regulatory changes effective August 1, 2013 and the 2013 List of Areas of Training

The Québec government and the Minister of Immigration and Cultural Communities have adopted regulatory changes that came into effect on August 1, 2013. At the same time, through Ministerial Order 2013-009, the Minister updated the List of Areas of Training. It is important to note that one of the fundamental goals of An Act respecting immigration to Québec (chapter I-0.2) is to select foreign nationals who meet the needs of the province in order to promote their harmonious integration into society and the job market as soon as they arrive in Québec. In the context of these new rules, the powers exercised by the government and the Minister help to ensure that this important goal is achieved.

Good knowledge of French not only helps immigrants better integrate into the job market, but also into Québec society. Moreover, specialized jobs for which the Ministère de l’Immigration et des Communautés culturelles selects skilled workers require a much greater mastery of French than the language level required to simply communicate in daily activities.

After these new language requirements came into effect, and to ensure equity, the Ministère decided to grant a timeframe for attaining the level of French required by certain candidates whose applications were submitted before August 1, 2013 and had not yet been subject to a preliminary review. These candidates will therefore have an additional period to perfect their language knowledge, which will increase their chances of obtaining a Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ). To find out if this temporary measure applies to you, please consult the Note sur les procédures d’immigration (NPI) no 2013-16 (PDF, 160 Kb) (note on immigration procedures).

The MICC encourages all candidates who submit an application for a CSQ and do not have the required knowledge of French to contact its partners located in various countries to find out about the French courses available.

Does it apply to candidates of 2011?
Will the govt contact us or we have to assume?
Anyone any ideas or info?
The ones who are being called in abu dhabi do they have b2 level of French?
