QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[DONSOFT]

Hello Donsoft&Quebec2011,

I started to organise my documents relevant to CSQ. I need few more details on the same.


1) i dont have birth certificate(I think birth certificate is mandate for those who born on or after 1989 in India). Do i need to get it now or can i use any of other documents like school certificates,Driving license.etc. if you were born after 1989, then apply for yours, if not an age declaration from a High Court and maybe attestation of age from population council in your country would do. Of course, you may wish to support it further by including the documents you mentioned as well. The data page of your passport will also be a conclusive proof of your true age. ok..will get that
2) I can get a letter from institute for proof of language.But is there any standard template available for the same or i can go with my institute's template. No, go with whatever they give you provided they stated that English is a requirement for admissions and also the medium of instruction.

3) I am working for a company for more than 5 years and still continuing. I think I will not be able to get work experience certificate with my job description mentioned on it. Why? Are you claiming points for area of training? If you fail to get that, you can always include your employment letter, new post letter, promotion letters and all others that will help validate your point.

i dont want my organisation to know my immigration plan at this point of time..it is too early..i dont have any other valid reason to ask for certification mentioning my roles and responsibility.
Can I produce documents like my Offer letter,pay hike letter(even today i got one ), communication letter of my redesignation as retail manager ,latest Payslips for 3 months(which contains my date of joining). do you mean producing on your own or getting your organisation to produce it?

No..i meant i already got these documents which is produced by my organisation on different times during these years [size=10pt][size=10pt]--- ok you should be able to use them but don't fail to include your recent pay slips, social insurance/pension contributions statement and maybe tax clearance as these documents will help them confirm that you truly have the number of years of experience that you are claiming.[/size][/size]


Please clarify

As of now, i have these doubts..will come back to you friends if i need more help. Send them in anytime .... [/color]alll the best

Hi Donsoft,

Yeah same reply I got from a reputed lawyer in Canada and was informed,even if I land in Toronto,then also,there would not be any impact on the citizenship.

thanks for your reply.

Technically speaking, you are expected to make Quebec your permananent home and that is the essence of filling IMM 008 (Declaration of intent to reside in Quebec) or so when applying for your PR. This does not mean that you cannot move around Canada, of course you can visit other parts of Canada but you are not expected to reside outside Quebec. You are not expected to move to another province as you were specifically selected by Quebec to work and pay taxes in their province to help in the further development of the province. If for any reason they doubt your intentions to reside in Quebec, the CSQ will not issued to you in the first place. Applying for a CSQ automatically means that you have an intention to stay in Quebec and that is it. The risk of moving to another province is that you may likely have issues obtaining Citizenship when the time comes usually after three years. However, you can move to any other province of your choice once you become a Canadian Citizen.

Find below an excerpt of the message sent to me by one of the well respected immigration lawyers in Canda when i sought an answer to this same question. Try to digest the last sentence in blue;

you will still have the right to something which is called "Freedom of Movement". That right will be available to you upon the first day of your arrival in Canada. All Canadian Permanent Residents have the right to move freely, anywhere they wish within Canada's borders. However, keep in mind that by offering you this immigration program, the government of Quebec is trying very hard to entice you to stay in their province. They want you to have a genuine and sincere interest in the
possibility of making a new future for your family in Quebec. Thus, during the application process, you must have the intention of living in Quebec. [size=10pt][size=10pt][size=10pt]After you have landed in Canada, you then have the right to live and work anywhere you wish.[/size][/size][/size]

For birth certificate,You can produce Matriculation certificate and passport bio data page.That would suffice.

Yes you can but i would have suggested you also back it up with an atestation of age from the National population council in India.

You are welcome.

thanx....but i have one question
is this the same list as FSW list of documents?non, ce n'est pas le même. il diffère ???.....I mean this is a lot of documents
even for CSQ there are less documents to be send
to be honest i didn't even saw this list till now, and I am shocked....

 

[egrace62]

[i think one of The major reasons y this kind of question is asked is perhaps, ur french skill is not strong. so dont be scared... just keep learning french...... its good top b bi-lingual.... but for those who are still scared of a sudden exposure to the french society, what they do is to settle in GAtineau-Quebec HULL specifically cos its very very close to ONTARIO[/color]. so that they can work in ONTARIO and settle in Quebec.. but unless u will be willing to learn the intricate dimension that ur Taxation will take i will not suggest u go this route... so that u wont lose in the long run.... just has DONSOFT has already stated[/b]

Thank you so much for your reply (that was over a month ago lol) and the much needed help that you provide over here. It shall be given back to you multi fold. We went ahead a did the court formalities about a week ago and we are ready to apply. I will need help once I get everything together to make sure it's all correct. My status is valid for another month so we will try and get it sent before the end of the month. Hopefully me running out of time wont be an issue.
I have one question though. The declaration of self-sufficiency, do we have to provide documentation that we actually have that amount readily available in a bank account right now?

Dear All,

I've applied for Quebec CSQ and I received interview call (September - NYC ). I'm confused about the required points ( 55,57 or 59 for a single ).

Can please some senior help me with understanding the point system for Quebec ( I applied on March after the new changes ).

Below are my particulars please advice.

Principal applicant (Single) :-

Age:- 28 years
Qualifications:- BSc Computer Science 2003 Egypt
MSc Computer Science 2008 Canada (Ottawa University)
PhD Computer Science IP Canada (Ottawa University) ~ one year only done, expected to be graduated on 2013.
Experience in the relating field:- 6 years
*Worked as Teaching assistant and Research assistant for one year and a half in Canadian University (also, I published over 3 publications in well-known journals and conferences)
*Worked on multi-national company in Canada for the Rest and have a permanent offer.

English:- IELTS (Speaking 6.5 , Listening 6 ); I studied MSc and PhD in Canada with English
French :- I studied it for 3 years in the secondary school but I haven't practiced it for long time ( I marked my French skill as Zero or one in the application; In addition, I started studying it again but I don't want to depend on French factor in the interview; I'm going to ask for talking in English as it is official and I have to be accurate).

Funds:- Enough and I have other sources of income.

No family in Quebec

I visited Montreal one or more. In addition, I went to Gatineau several times and I'm intending to move to it by the next 3 monthes.

Job offer in Quebec: I have permanent offer from my company. I could sum the info like the following:
* Ottawa lab covers Ottawa, Rideau and Gatineau which technically considered at Quebec as well.
* I have contacted HR to obtain a letter to show that I could move to Montreal when I have CSQ. (still pending)

Can someone please help me with the point system. I really appreciate your help.

Thanks...

For a single applicant u need to score atleast 49 points and if u got selected for an interview then add 6 more for Adaptability so the total is 55 points for singles.

Re: (No subject)

@ wings.... Yeah do them a mail...... Another possible reason for d delay is d security check to b carried out by CASIS. USUALLY APPLICANTs that are widely travelled may experience delay cos they do d checks for everywhere one has visited.

Yeah I'll wait a couple more weeks and then if I dont hear anything, I ll email them. I lived in the US for many years and then been to Montreal for a few months so that prob might be it. Although I know a couple of people (ex. Manoylo) who havent heard anything from their VOs either.

After all its summer time, so the visa officers might actually be vacationing now
