[mkshah]

dear friends,
I have collected all documents.... It is really such a tough task of getting each and every little document... and then getting them notarized.

But finally today I finished this big exercise.
Next step is to arrange docs in correct sequence.
So I have made bunch of all documents as they have asked.

I need ur advice on how to arrange documents for me and my wife?

does it go like First all docs of Principal applicant and then all docs of spouse?

Or it goes like this: first educational certificates of PA and spouse then work certi of PA and spouse and like this for other set of documents.

Kindly suggest.

Hi everyone,
Does it matter what city we put on our application form that we intend to live in, once we get to Quebec? I am wondering if they look more favorably on cities other than Montreal. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanks.

hey guys, just so im clear... how exactly is the quebec skilled worker program different from the federal skilled worker? i know that with the quebec program, you have to show intent to reside in quebec but application wise, how are the two programs different especially when it comes to areas of training and experience?

thank

The Quebec Skilled workers program does not differ so much from the federal skilled workers program. the only difference is that some professions may be more in demand in Quebec and some others in the other part of Canada it depends on your profession or area of training. But the most important in the Quebec program is that u Should know French, at least the basic one, then if you need to more points in your application u should study French and reach the intermediate level (up to u & your points).
And another thing is that you don't have to show the intent to reside in Quebec but u should convince them that u want to live and work in Quebec.

Siav,

think you're worrying a wee bit too much pal, attaining level 2 in that time frame ain't an impossible feat, only thing is the classes are at the French Institute are only 2hrs a week, for 10 classes in a 3 months period and i personally think they're too spaced, so you will defo need to supplement your learning with other aids to improve your listening and speaking especially, you can then have a go at one of the Quebec specific tests which only test your listening and spoken bit of french. So try and not focus so much on the written bit of french for now, is my 2 pence.

Further the French Institute is a recognised organisation funded by the french govt a sister organisation of alliance francaise if like and you will find same difference should you go to the alliance fraincaise in Glasgow, so relax and try and make use of the videos in the insistute's bibliothique to quickly immerse yourself in the language, classes are good time to meet struggling friends and share experiences you will find, so enjoy and make the most of them.

all the best pal

I just hope this is the right place:

Most Dear Anyone-With-Information-and-Experience

I am 30 years old and married, I have a B.Sc. in Statistics, and an M.Sc. in Modelling and Management of Risk. I have about 18 months of work experience (2 part-time positions held concurrently – Credit Risk Analyst and Financial Consultant). My English is perfect and I meet the financial self sufficiency requirement. I am currently studying for a M.Sc. in Financial Mathematics. My wife is 31 and has a B.Sc. in Agricultural Engineering and in 6 months she will obtain her M.Sc. degree. Her English level is at IELTS 6.0 and her French is at A1 (though she has not taken a exam). She also has two sisters living in Montreal QC, one of which is a permanent resident and the other has her CSQ.
I calculated that I will get 12 for “Level of Education”, 12 for “Area Training”, 4 for “Experience”, 16 for “Age”, 6 for “English”, 3 for “Family in Quebec” (through spouse's sister), and 1 for “Financial Self Sufficiency”. My wife will get 3 for “Level of Education”, 3 for “Age”, and 1 for “Language Proficiency”. Altogether, it will be 61, So even without me knowing French we should get by, at least theoretically, as we would only need 2 points from adaptability.
PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG ANYWHERE ABOVE.
We submitted an application for Quebec Immigration – Skilled Worker programme about 3 months ago and on August 23rd we got our file number. I wanted to fill in the forms at level 2 for both listening and speaking which would have gotten us up to 63 points in which case we would not have needed any points from adaptability. At the time when we were filling in the forms, most of our friend and family told us that if we fill less than level 4 (listening and writing) we would not be accepted, therefore, against my own judgement and conscience, I marked the spots for LEVEL 4 which I assume correspond to level A2.
Now, my concern is that my schedule absolutely does not allow me to get to Level A2 in 6-9 months which I assume would be the expected time-frame before our interview. I have signed up for French classes at “Institut Français d'Ecosse”, which is tied to the Government of France and is the only decent institute in our city (Edinburgh – UK). But in 3 10-week terms (Oct to Dec, Jan to Mar, Apr to Jun) I would only get to finish level A1 at best.
Now, I am very worried and I do not know what to do. Should I inform the immigration authority of this change or not or is there anything at all that I can do? I do not want such a stupid thing to ruin our chances and our future. If you could kindly advice us on this matter, I would appreciate it a lot.

Thank You & Regards
Siavash
