QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[bkm23578]

Hello,

I want to know what documents are required for proving work experience. Although the Quebec PNP site mentions (as quoted below) that a work experience certificate and an employment contract copy is all that is required, I am guessing that having salary payslips and other proof handy would be better, just in case they want to verify more at a later time.

The problem with me is that I work in a small firm where firstly, I am paid in cash and secondly, the boss doesn't give me any salary payslips. Also, I was never given any contract letter as such. Also, I don't file any IR-forms or something.

So all that I would have is a work experience letter. Should I ask my boss for salary slips and a contract letter before applying for the Quebec CSQ? And anything else? I want to be 100% sure that my application is not rejected because of the lack of work exp documents.

What should I do? Please help!

Hello Guys,

I am in a bit of a tight corner right now. I just got a letter from BIQ Paris, that our application has been rejected which is different from what the lady told us during the interview. She said if we can get A2 level in French, then we can send the certificate to her, before she could issue our CSQ, but now we just got this rejection letter. We scored 59points without any points in french instead of the required 63points, and going through the points breakdown I found out that the Lady didn't give any points on adaptability. And I think this is not right because most of the questions she asked we answered them, provided evidence of job serch in quebec, spoke about major companies in Quebec that has vacancies in our area of study and experience (business and account), she didn't sk us anything about our knowledge of QUEBEC. As a result of this I want to file for Administrative review of this decision. My question/request from forum members now is
(i) How do I file for this administrative review
(ii) what Kind of form do I have to fill
(iii) Can somebody help me with a format of how to write it or to a site/place where I can access information that will enable me to write the adminitrative review application.
(iv) Any information, guidance and ideas will be greatly appreciated.


Please feel to ask me any qestion to clarify any of the points that I ahave raised.

Thak

@bkm23578
I will recommend that if your employer is approachable then you should request for a letter of employment from him back dated to when you joined the company and paystubs for the last three months as requested for an application, if possible an additional letter stating your duties in the company otherwise your claims of experience might not be taken seriously because it is standard practice for anybody in employment to be issued a letter of employment, memos of salary reviews, promotion letter and the likes, these are examples of what I presented for my own case with which I obtained my CSQ.

Hey there,

I received my CSQ without an interview but I'm fluent in French. I believe that the interview is mainly to check language proficiency. Good luck.

@Ayinka,
Could you be the same person that wrote the TCF Quebec exams with my wife and I very late year 2010 under Elodih's supervision at AF. Reading your post with my wife, your name struck her mind as the same Yinka that blasted the exams excellently, if you are the same person am not surprised with your receiving your CSQ without an interview because you are indeed fluent in French.

Dear Seniors Osama/Angleeye/Javeed

I mis-calculate my points previously. It was exact what I need but now I found difference:
1) Education: B.SC in Civil Engineering 4 years from Bangladesh =10
2) Area of training (AOT)- Civil Engineer with foreign degree =06
3) Work Experience 4years related with study =08
4) Age 26 years =16
5) Language IELTS S-7 L-6 =05
6)Financial Self-Sufficiency =01

Total= 46 only
So i have shortage of 49-46 =03 points. Could anyone suggest me what I can do now? Please give all possible solution. I have sent my application on 07 September 2011 and my first AOR was on 22 October 2011.
I will appreciate your kind attention.

Mahadi

hi grim,
There are differing views of forum members on this:
One member i didnt remember his name, has actually submitted his A2 result and he received his preliminary review letter after 6th dec 2011 in which he got 4 points for A2 (3+1) so he was rewarded points as per new rules though he is a pre-6th dec applicant.

On the other side, as per attorney david cohen of this site, this changes in language rules being reatro-active, pre 6th dec applicants will not be affected by change in language rules.

So as per him, for A1, 2 points (1+1) and for A2, 6 points (3+3) will be given, irrespective of your scores.

 

[mkshah]

hi mahadi,
I feel that You are lucky as you sent your application before 6th dec and therefore you can surely submit ur lanfuage proficiency certificates at later stage also.

I checked ur points calculation and based on that I can suggest you to learn french and reach to atleast A2 level of DELF.
A1 level will give you 1+1 points and A2 will give you 3+3 points.

Also Alliance Francaise is the best institute for learning french worldwide. And for A1/A2 you can take their extensive course. This will prepare you for A1 level and for A2 you can prepare by self-study too.
I dont know which is ur BIQ, but nowadays it takes almost 10-12 months after AOR fo get interview and you have enough time to get A2 level proficiency.
wish you good luck buddy.

I received results of my DELF Tests today. I got 85/100 for B1, all skills above 16/25. For B2, I got 50.5/100, all skills are from 8-15/25. That means I will get 8 points for French ability. Should I submit both results of B1 and B2? Or just the B1? Because the points of both are the same. Please advise. Thank you.
