@Everyone

Please do anybody know if the cutoff applications numbers will affect those already received CSQ and waiting to apply for the Federal? Or is it just applicable to those who applied for CSQ from Dec. 2011?

I am still confused what are the docs required by Quebec immigration to show experience

1) appointment letter - May submit
2) Experience letter -- Recommended. Strong proof
3) Duties performed during the job -- Recommended. Strong proof
4) promotion letter -- May submit.

5) Payslip also- Current employer

Tax return papers are mandortary ? - May submit or not please reply seniors ? - If you have all these documents u can submit as notorized copy. This will make your case stronger. But, be prepare to take away the original copies when you will be in interview.

Bajan4Quebec,

Thanks for your reply and concern.
For English, i have already taken IELTS with an overall score of 8.0 (minimum 7.0 on all 4 modules).
When i took the assessment test in Quebec Immigration website, it showed that i am eligible to apply even though i selected French knowledge as zero (i intend to take french classes soon).
Kindly tell me whether i can apply with current qualification or to wait until i take French classes and test (though it would become too late). As i am currently residing in the middle east, should i need to hire a lawyer/consultant or shall i apply directly?

Regards,

Viky

je vous en prie!

Firstly, the assessment test on the website is simply an estimate, the amount of points you will actually obtain is at the discretion of the visa officer. The fact is that its a points based system and it is possible to have a positive assessment without claiming French as a competency "BUT" and a very big BUT Quebec is becomming very strict with applicants required to know French and their recent laws made mirrors this sentiment. I will give you two options and you can decide.

Option 1: you apply and you do not claim french points let's say the visa officer calculating your score graded you short by two (2) points. It is possible they will respond to you and ask you to submit evidence of knowledge of French within a time period (normally 60 days) if you cannot supply any evidence your file will be closed and returned to you. Alternatively, let's say you apply and you passed the threshold without claiming French, then that's simply good luck on you. BUT as I said earlier knowing French is very important and you have to convince them you want to learn the language and settle in Quebec. Since you applied as an FSW before and applying to Quebec because of the recent decision to return prior February 2008 applications you will be observed even more closely or not. The question you must convince them on is, "do you want to truly settle in Quebec or just come to Canada using Quebec and then flee once you're admitted?" This option is a risk and this is totally up to you. Hey sometimes big risk brings big rewards!!

Option 2: you wait to apply with knowledge of French, the risk in this option is lesser than in the first scenario above. However, the lenght of time you take to learn French and then apply again the criteria may/could have changed that may require you to do more to qualify or deter you from qualifying altogether. These are the options before you my friend, weight them assess the risk and follow your heart.

Finally it is not necessary to hire a consultant, they dont get you extra points, persons hire a consultant because they maybe too busy, if they are unsure which is the correct visa office to send their application to. All of what I said you can do here by asking forum members, we are here to help. The plus with consultants is that they know what areas applicants make mistakes and they minimise your errors that the likelihood of your application being rejected is small. Also consultants/representatives (approved by a recognised Bar Association) can appeal your case should it be rejected. Please note, many persons out there are posing as consultants and are frauds (BEWARE)...The rules to apply are clear, and forum members here research and give you good direction...so again its up to you.

Ps. I m not sure but I believe Mec. engineer is in the priority in demand list...maybe this is why you had the positive assessment without French. Can anyone else confirm this?

Best of luck my friend

Hello Bajan4Quebec,

Thanks for the good summery. Yes, your two points are clear and truly justified in real scenario.

Mechanical Engineering is not in priority list. But, Aerospace Engineering is in priority list. Even though both are similar type of engineering.

 

[hec006]

thanks for your response

i have the payslips of my currenty employer not for the previous one what shall i do and i have the ITR current

No need for payslip for Previous employer. If you have ITR for current attach them with application.

 

[Viky]

Bajan4Quebec,

Once again thanks for your detailed information, it does give some positive energy.

I am going to register with Alliance Francaise for French classes by next week and will start taking the classes at the earliest.
However, i don't want to wait until i give the test/get the results because by that time the applications will/may reach it's cap.
Regarding consultant, i have not yet finalised whether to go with them (since i already have an very poor experience on their part).
I will go through the application before making the final call on it.
At present i am residing in Qatar, so i think the visa office would be in Abu Dhabi.
Sorry for bothering you, but i may need your help in the coming days as well (as it is more crucial).

Regards,
Viky

Allhamdullialh i have passed both my A1 nd A2. Now, because of my consultancy guys fault i hav to give my general ielts. im giving it this coming week. so the result for that should maximum take like 2 weeks. in the mean time, i received a letter from the embassy saying they r waiting for my english(ielts) and my french score cards(proof of lang proficiency) and have given me 6 months time..otherwise dey will be "obligated to close my file" *panicking* please tell me whats going on and Inshallah once i gv my ieltsi wil sending out my french and english score cards..by the end of this month... so after that how long do u all think it will take fr me to get a call/intimation for interview? also, is it true that most applicants r exempted from interview if they do upto B1 LEVEL FRENCH??? and the site currently shows that India is exempted from interviews ..is it true ?

Allhamdullialh i have passed both my A1 and A2(send the results ASAP-don't worry abt Postage charge). Now, because of my consultancy guys fault i hav to give my general ielts( General IELTS is Ok). im giving it this coming week. so the result for that should maximum take like 2 weeks( After getting the result send it ASAP). in the mean time, i received a letter from the embassy saying they r waiting for my english(ielts) and my french score cards(proof of lang proficiency) and have given me 6 months time..otherwise dey will be "obligated to close my file" *panicking* please tell me whats going on and Inshallah once i gv my ieltsi wil sending out my french and english score cards..by the end of this month... so after that how long do u all think it will take fr me to get a call/intimation for interview?-( Depends on your BIQ) also, is it true that most applicants r exempted from interview( It is false -- Happens either way) if they do upto B1 LEVEL FRENCH???(Not true. B2 can get the advantage, but also depends on total points) and the site currently shows that India is exempted from interviews ..is it true( Completely false) ?

PLEASE PLEASE answer my queries! im in need of some advice..also, plz tag me in ur responses as @ gryffindorgirl. else m not able to find the responses!

Please take time to write your queries, otherwise it is tough to comprehend. Best in bullet format.
-Thanks

It looks like consultancy has given you many false info. Don't believe. Ask to BIQ. If they don't respond, u can ask here.

Dears,

I tried to find out from immigration website,but there is no evidance stating that older than 2 years result of A1 & A2 is not considered by BIQ.

Can anybody have any links?
