Re: (No subject)

So based on what you replied i can still apply under NOC 0213 under Quebec even if that is not included in 29 NOC that is required from immigration.

Yes.

Is there any site that explains difference between FSW and quebec? It will really help me.

Not particularly, but this site has a pretty good outline of the points needed for Quebec:

http://www.canadavisa.com/quebec-skilled-worker-immigration.html

Another unrelated question. Do we need police clearence for quebec? if yes i need to apply right away as i heard that FBI Takes 90 to reply.

In the first stage, no. You apply to Quebec, they see if you qualify, and then you may or may not be called in for an interview. If you're approved, they give you the CSQ. With the CSQ, which is like a certificate that they've selected you, you then apply to the federal government where they do background checks and medical exams. If you pass that, then you get your visa. So it's a two-step process, and you only need police reports for the 2nd part. If you haven't even applied to Quebec yet then I wouldn't ask for it just yet, as FBI reports only last 3 months. When you've gotten your 1st AOR and some kind of notice that you are close to the interview (this depends on your visa office), then I would send your prints in to the FBI.

HI All

Please If some body knows the difference between the french tests (TCF,TEF,Delf)

I asked about the TCF and they told me that it is oral although I have read that it is 80 multiple choice questions so please guide me ..

thanks

I took the TEF. There are places that also have the TEF-AQ, which is explicitly for those immigration to Quebec. It's shorter than the original TEF, only Oral Expresion and Listening, but the downfall is that results go directly to immigration, so if you do poorly you don't have the choice to not send it in.
The full TEF is Listening, Grammar, and Reading Comprehension. In addition, for Quebec purposes you have to do an extra TEF portion for Oral Expression. It's not a bad test, and I did pretty well on it, but the problem is it's exhausting. Mine was 3.5 hours long, and I feel I would've done better if I hadn't been so tired (the oral part was the last part, which made it even harder). The TEF is also a general test - it's for all levels, and your grade will indicate your level.
I believe the TCF is pretty similar, not sure.
The DELF, on the other hand, is divided by levels. So if you have little knowledge of French, you take the DELF A1, and if you pass it, you have an A1 level. So you take different tests depending on the level you think you have, and you try to pass it. I haven't taken it though, so I can't speak much about it.

@Egypt to shed more light on Tcf and Tcf-Q, TCF is the full test just like Marylatt explained for TEF while Tcf-Q is just an exam adapted for Quebec immigration and a copy of ur result will be sent to MICC. Tef and TCFq comprises only of speaking and listening. As a matter of fact, i took the Tcfq exam in february. Basically TEF and TCF are the same just that they are organised by different bodies. Tefq and TCFq are meant for Quebec immigration only. You will be graded on a scale of A1 to C2 depending on ur performance. Delf and Delf are diplomas which have different independent levels which you can take as you like. Pls note that Tef and Tefq has only one year validity while TCF and TCFq has two years validity. On the other hand Delf and dalf exams has a lifetime validity. You can visit 4shared for materials on any of the exams. Hope this helps. The choice is yours.

hi egrace62,
i am really thankful to you for all your support...
I request you to clear one more query..
If i join 1 year course of post graduate diploma in business administration and then at the end of 1 year, if i apply for CSQ, then will they consider my work exp with this area of training,

because I got this education in this year, but my work exp is prior to the area of training/education?
So, can i get points for this area of training and related work experience?

pls help in giving clarity for this matter.

[size=10pt]@Marylatt and Donsoft:[/size]


it is really very useful so I think it is better to have the TEF or TCF which are general to avoid sending the results directly...


Thanks so much bros hope to have fine results..

Re: (No subject)

@ mkshah, ur fears are well understood but b rest assured dat ur xperience & training ll b graded. D decidin factor ll b whether those experienc prior to ur PGD are actual skilled,semi-skilled or unskilled. But 4rm all u av written all of ur experiences are above skill lever D. So d only issue wit BiQ ll b doubt as to whether those experience are actually skilled but since u ll also submit all old degrees that doubt ll b cleared.

@egrace ,

Merci beaucoup.

 

[harit79]

Thanks for your quick response.
I just eager to know how do you calculate 12 points for my degree and 6 points for AOT.
That would be great if you can reply back.

As i have mentioned earlier do i get point for my Master degree (not sure whether college is recognized or not).

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for your quick response.
I just eager to know how do you calculate 12 points for my degree and 6 points for AOT. M.Sc= 12pts. u ll b awarded mark so far d university is accredicted by the regulatory bodies in d country where it is established irrespective of its size
That would be great if you can reply back.

As i have mentioned earlier do i get point for my Master degree (not sure whether college is recognized or not). recognised by who? BIQ or d govern ment of the country where d sch is located? BIQ cannot know all d universities in d world. All they need is a certificate sanctioning the degree. that to BIQ is sufficient pfoof that such university is recognised by the government where d sch is located

Thanks for your time.

Area of Training: 0 points, because related work exp is not in last 5 years.

Total work exp: 10 years; 5 years asPharmaceutical Sales Rep from Oct-2000 to Nov-2005.(dont know NOC code for this job) and Insurance Sales Manager from Mar-2006 to May-2007.

My spouse: 3+3+2+0=8 without french and +2 = 10 with french upto a1 level.
