CIC moves online

Citizenship and Immigration Canada will be moving more of its business progressively online, says Minister Jason Kenney, with impending changes to include the ceasing of the printing and mailing out of forms and application kits starting December 1st.
According to the CIC press release, “If application forms cannot be completed and submitted electronically, applicants can print the forms themselves from the CIC website. Service for people with special needs will continue.”

More details of any process changes are still forthcoming.

Canadavisa.com will report on further announcements, highlight any changes relevant for Campbell Cohen clients, and integrate any process changes into the Canadavisa.com portal. However at this time, no immediate changes are foreseen as our processes are already electronic-based where possible.

Dear All, Sharing some good news about jobs in Quebec

Quebec is the leader in job

Quebec had the best performance in all of North America in terms of job creation. While jobs were lost in other parts of Canada during the month of September, more than 14,000 new jobs were created in Quebec. Since June 2009, more than 125,000 jobs have been created in Quebec, which means Quebec has created almost twice as many new jobs as were lost in the recession of 2008-2009.

Housing starts increased in September, another good indication of the strength of the economy in Quebec. Multi-unit construction, such as condos and apartment buildings, rose more than 25% compared to September of last year.

Economic diversification is another reason Quebec has performed better than any other jurisdiction in North America during the recent downturn. The economy is Quebec does not rely on any one sector or industry.

The unemployment rate in Quebec dropped to 7.7% in September from 8.2%.

The overall unemployment rate in Canada is projected to remain around 8%.

Hello mkshah! first two letters are both "HA"

thats really interesting because, there is a debate between forum members here about the first 2 letters indicating priority or not. some suggests that if your second letter is A in both the number, then it indicates your file will be under priority processing. but some members who have such numbers have also called for interview.

Why did u ask? Please let me know

i asked you this because I also have both the first letter of AOR dossier no. and ref ind no. start with "HA".

Ive noticed that u sent them your IELTS? did they actually tell you to send your IELTS?

they didnt asked for it. I sent ielts test result with my initial appliation. I got overall 7.0 bands with 7.5 in listening and 7 in speaking.

Hello Nursegio,

I can see that you're also a nurse in the Philippines. I just want to ask something. I am a little confused about the online evaluation. We do have a BSN right? What is the equivalent of it here,

Undergraduate diploma of university studies - 1 year (in Québec, the diploma is obtained after completing 14 years of full-time education)

Undergraduate diploma of university studies - 2 years (in Québec, the diploma is obtained after completing 15 years of full-time education)

Undergraduate diploma of university studies - 3, 4 or 5 years (in Québec, the diploma is obtained after completing 16 to 18 years of full-time education)

Thank you very much in advance

Hello everybody ! Hello dr, I will try to answer some of your queries here.
Thanks very much for this nice forum, I am egyptian. Actually i have applied for the CSQ to the office of Damascus March 2011 and actually i have recieved the number of reference on july 2011, Indeed, i have traveeled from Egypt to South korea on August 2011 for studying.
I have some questions hoping i can find answers from your experience
1- IS there difference between the ref. No. and the file number? yes, your file number is no. dossier printed in your AOR letter. You must use this number in all your future correspndence with your BIQ.
2- Actually if i want to do my interview in Hong Kong office, it will be more easier for acceptance or no? And i have to travel again to Egypt when i recieve the date of the interview? as per my understanding, since you have sent your file and received your AOR, now it will not be possible. Also applicants cant choose their BIQ as per their choice.
pls take advice of other forum members regarding this. I have little knowledge about it.
3- Actually i have TOEFL ibt 85. Is that enough for english requirements? or i need more? They consider IELTS results for english proficiency, so if you are submitting your english language requirements, it is better to send IELTS test results.
4- My french is A2 level but i have never done test, so what test i should do and which result i must get? I am just curious to know that without taking any test, how u determined your french level.
You can take any of these tests to check your french level. TCF, TEF, TCFQ, TEFaQ, DELF / DALF.

Thank you for your attention
