QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[Junash]

I have sent you a private msg please reply .. thanks

Hello ladies and Gentlemen,
First, I have to start with an apology for bringing this update late, it is due to some circumstance beyond my control.

Our timeline:
I and my family applied for CSQ on October 4, 2013 with zero French and got AOR on April 8, 2014. By July 14, 2015 we got request for document update within 90 days which we submitted on October 1st,2014.
Interview fixed on February 25, 2015 in AbuDhabi and CSQ issued at the end of the interview.
Federal applied on March 17, 2015.


Our Interview Experience:

We started the journey for our interview on 23/02/2105 but the airline didn't allow us to fly because my wife's Saudi resident permit expiration date was less than 3 months from that day. She had to visit her workplace the following day for an urgent renewal,then we flew on 24/02/2015 and arrived Abudhabi in the mid-night due to the delays from the permit renewal.

The following day,We got to the venue of the interview by 11.30 am though our scheduled time was 1.30 pm, by few minutes passed 12.00 noon we were invited in by the interviewer as those whom she was supposed to attend to then have not yet arrived.
She was nice, soft-spoken, direct and intelligent all the time we were there.

After the formal introduction of her name. She laid the objective of the interview before us. She said at the end of the interview she will be able to approve or reject our application for CSQ based on our performance.

She asked questions on our education, job duties and experiences, values of Quebec society, tested our knowledge on how to get our professional licenses , choice of city to live in and why,relatives and friends in Quebec and Canada,our effort in learning French(where,when and how we learn ), what to expect as we relocate and how to cope with it ( she said we being expatriate workers for years now will adapt easily when we relocate).

The interview was conducted in English. We only spoken a sentence in French ( when she asked us our age). She asked in French and we replied in French. She encouraged to learn French harder and keep the receipts of whatever we spend on learning French in order get a refund on arrival to their province.

It lasted for about 40 minutes and she softly said you have been selected. I and my wife could not hold ourselves as we erupted in joyous shout and hugged each other in her presence.
She printed the CSQ for each of us, signed and wished us well in our future endevours .

Lessons to learn:

1) Always plan to travel to the city of your interview 3 or more days before the scheduled date to enable you have time to sort out any misfortune that might rear its ugly head along your way. If we had started our journey on 24/02/2015, we would have missed the interview.

2) It is good to prepare very well for every interview as it will help to boost your confidence.
3) Try to be seated at the interview venue at 30 minutes before time
4) Learn French as much as you can but do not get yourself tensed on the interview day because of your French language limitations.
5) Pray to whichever God you worship for favour and hope for the best.

Thanks

To God be the Glory. MY CSQ and those of my wife and 3 kids posted on 14 April, the lady asked me to sit down for she has good news for me., 2 hrs later I still called and a man confirmed to me and said welcome to Quebec. B2 French is the key to interview waiver, Newjwel soon it will be yours and others.

Yeah, for internship, they do not require tax proof/ social security proof, they only require an internship certificate and internship agreement.... You might have listed it as a Work Experience, that explains why they ask for those documents to prove the legality of the experience...

Hello miumiu.i am going to take letter from social security department for the legality of work experience can you guide me that what key points should be mentioned in the letter which is accepted by quebec midi. Any other seniors who can guide me through this matter thanks in advance.

There is only one key point: the documents has to be original. I dont think you can decide or change the content or format though, because it has to be issues by a government office, and they usually have their fixed format for such documents. It's crucial to understand that such documents are different from country to country. For example for my country regarding CSQ application, i heard it's better to just provide income tax proof (bcoz it's more convincing or sth.) instead of just social security document.

Therefore, I strongly suggest you get connected with other applicants from YOUR home country, and inquire them which document is accepted and which is not, in regards to prove the legality of your work experience. Good luck!

Ok thanks for your reply i will try for this. And what do you think i need to send the orignal letters of social security and tax exemption or notarized copy will work.?
