Hello everyone,

I am from India and have two questions.

1. I have completed 15 years of full time education - Secondary Education of 10 years, Higher Secondary of 2 years, and Bachelor of Science (Pure) of 3 years. On the "What is the highest level diploma recognized by the State that you have received?" question, which option do I select?

2. My wife will not be accompanying me, she will probably join me there in a year or so. Do I answer No to "Do you have a spouse or de facto spouse who is accompanying you to Québec?"

Would really appreciate if you get me these answers as I am a bit confused.

Regards,

2. My wife will not be accompanying me, she will probably join me there in a year or so. Do I answer No to "Do you have a spouse or de facto spouse who is accompanying you to Québec? Frankly speaking if u really dont want your wife to stay with u in future then say no otherwise yes choice is your "

Would really appreciate if you get me these answers as I am a bit confused.

That was very quick Still Hope ... thank you very much for that.

Its Bachelor of Science. My wife is a Master's with no experience in French. I am just confused whether to include her in my application and meet the elevated target of points, or just sponsor her when I am there. Following are the details:

I am 31 years old, B.Sc., passed in 2001, no relevant experience as I moved into General Management & Market Research, my spouse is an MCA who practised her skills for 1 year, we have a 2 year old kid. Am expert level in English, and about to start with French. Am confident will at least be DELF A2 in the next 5-6 months.

Can you tell me how many points am I earning and how close/safe am I?

Regards,

if u become your self as a principal applicant then u can score 6 point for your education 8 points for your exp 16 points for your age 6 points for your english, and 3+3+2+4+1 ( for your wife and child ) total 49 points 100 % rejections unless u pass delf b1 and if your wife become a principal applicant then your points as below i hope her MCA is less then 5 years ago then she can manage 12+6 for her studies and area of training , 16 for her age (if she is under 35) 6for english (if she is good in english) and hope she have atlest one year experience then 2 points and spouse points 3+0+3+4+1 =11 so total points are 53 then she need to pass delf a2 or if u both pass delf a1 then u r eligible to apply

Can you tell me how many points am I earning and how close/safe am I?

Niravk, its strongly recommended against immigration consultants, they charge a hefty fee for nothing but arranging your documents. This forum coupled with the (CIC and Immigration Quebec) websites are good enough to help you apply.

Thank you Still Hope for your reply, I get even more confused, especially when the website mentioned I qualify. Please confirm/contradict the following - where am I going wrong with my calculations?

Education - BSc (Pure Sciences), 2001 - 10 points (Undergraduate diploma attesting to 3 or more years of full-time studies)

Validated Employment offer - None - 0 points (6 or 10 points depending on in/out of Montreal)

Work experience - total 9 years, 2002-2011, full time - 8 points (48+ months = 8 points)

Age - 31 years - 16 points (18-35 = 16 points)

Language proficiency - French - High beginner (will clear DELF A2 in the next 5-6 months) - 3+3 points

Language proficiency - English - Advanced - 3+3 points

Stay & family - None - 0 points

Child - 1 child, 2 years old - 4 points

Financial self sufficiency - Not a problem - 1 point

I will talk about my wife's chances of applying as a principal applicant later ... thanks in advance.

Dear Friends
i got to know one very important thing for quebec which is as under

Getting citizenship of canada from quebec PR.?
Question :

hi, i am planning to apply for permanent residency of Quebec, i want to know after how long i can apply for citizenship of Canada? and is there any rule that i have to stay in Quebec if i want to get Canadian citizenship? if i am PR of Quebec can i work and stay in other province?

Answer :
You need to become PR and accumulate days of residing in Canada of 1095 days (equivalent to 3 years) in a 4 years period to be eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship. Days in Canada before you become PR can be counted in, but 2 days before PR needed to count for 1 days (this basically limit the number of days that come from stay in Canada before become PR to 1 year, the other 2 years have to be after PR). See the first link below and read thoroughly.

For citizenship eligibility there is no limitation on where in Canada you have to stay; you can stay in any province or territory.

Your last question is a bit tricky one. In principle, once you are PR you are free to move anywhere in Canada. That said, in gained PR status through Quebec path, you are required to make statement that you indeed intent to settle in Quebec. If you move out from Quebec after become PR without strong reason, Quebec can claim you did not actually intent to stay in Quebec when you apply to Quebec, and therefore you made a misrepresentation in the application, and therefore your PR can be revoked. So while you can move out from Quebec, you should make a reasonable (and provable) effort to stay in Quebec.

Of course if there is a strong cause, e.g. you married somebody from outside Quebec, or it turn out Quebec climate is bad for you and your physician recommend you to move to Vancouver, then you can move right away. But if you have no specific issue, actually can find work appropriate to your skills, then you should stay awhile, AFAIK rule of thumb is around a year, before you move out. If you cannot find appropriate work you can move sooner, even sooner if you move since an appropriate job is offered to you in other province; but document your job seeking effort carefully

I found it useful, I think Quebec immigration shouldn't be used as a window to enter other parts of Canada otherwise the waiting time of others who really want to settle down in Quebec can increase. I think Quebec should find a strong solution for this phenomenon.

I agree with Quebec2011 - why would you want to make so much efforts in learning French, acclimatising to the culture there, and then leave for other provinces? Of course, it is a strong cultural shock language issues, or job opportunities, there may not be any other reasons why someone would like to get Quebec PR and move out elsewhere.

Can you help me with my points please from my other post - really need to decide whether to apply or not?
