@eGrace, quick question for you, where did you get your degree?
I emailed BIQ-Mexico and asked if my case qualified for priority processing and the replied saying - No. Because my degree was not issued in Canada.
I emailed them back and explained that my degree is in fact equivalent to a Quebec degree as per the guidelines listed on the Immigration Quebec website. I got both my MS and BS degrees from the US and because of ABET accreditation on the part of my university I can register as an engineer in Quebec with the Engineering Order as my school falls under the Washington Accord mutual agreement.
This is why I am curious to know where you got your degree. After emailing the BIQ and explaining this I got a reply on the same day that read that they would take my observations into consideration.
