Hi egrace,

Thanks for sharing your wonderful experience. It's a bit far away for some of us, god willing we'll make it there and your experience will be useful to us.

Were all communications done in French? How dominant is French compared to English?

Thanks & Good Luck to you

well montreal is largely cosmopolitan so most of the pple are largely bilingual.. although some natives tend to be very stuborn tending to speak only french but it isnt as if everybody speak french although when one knws french it brings lot of opportunity. as a rule to ease the transition in language, i will suggest those of us with not to strong french skills to live in immigrants communities like cote des neiges

Hi friends,
After doing lots of research, I really found something interesting about the csq processing and the selection criteria.Please visit this link and you need to translate the website in english as the whole documents in in french.


In cases where the candidate's file is incomplete, the officer sends
PERM letter to the candidate and the list of 115 missing pieces in the file.
If the Declaration on the common values of Quebec society was not
signed and attached to the file, the officer sends the candidate a copy
Fly of the Declaration with the letter indicating 114 PERM
This declaration must be signed. The persons to sign the
DCS must also sign the Declaration on the common values of society
Québec.
4.1.7 Candidates who have provided false information or document or
misleading
Upon receipt of the application, the immigration officer ensures that the
candidate is not hit by the penalty provided in section 3.2.2.1 of the Act
allowing the Minister to refuse to consider the application for a certificate of
person who provided, for 5 years or less, any information or document
false or misleading with respect to a request made under the Act. In this
connection, see Chapter 5 of the component 5 (see IPG 5-5).
To do this, consult the official register of all ministerial and DCS
license applications rejected for acceptance or information
false or misleading documents and all the CSQ and Acceptance Certificate
Quebec rejected or canceled for the same reasons. If this is the case, the
official sends a letter to the candidate PERM-103a (false denial of review) and
him back his case, without conceding the fees.
If the candidate is not hit by the penalty provided in section 3.2.2.1 of the Act,
the immigration officer, upon receipt of the DCS and the payment of
fee, the applicant sends a letter acknowledging receipt PERM 104 of
the request and confirms the file is opened and collection of fees.
4.1.8 Target candidates by Priority
Upon receipt of the application, the immigration officer checks if
an application to be processed first. Such is the case when the candidate
or spouse is covered by a job offer validated by the MICC or when the
candidate or his spouse is formed in an area with good or
relatively good prospects for professional integration. It should be noted
an application in the sub-category of skilled workers placed in the

Program of the Quebec experience must be prioritized before a request
deposited in the regular program.
Thus, applications are filed, upon receipt, in order of priority
follows:
1. applications filed in the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ), the
if applicable (see IPG 3-4, Section 5.1)
2. applications referred by a validated job offer
3. demands of the candidate whose field of training or that of his spouse
appears on the list of preferred areas of training and meets 2009
conditions;
4. requests from other candidates skilled workers.
It is expected that these priorities are addressed within a maximum of
60 working days.
Notes:
- The candidate whose area of training (or the spouse) is covered by
List of preferred areas of training 2009 can claim a
Priority upon receipt of the application if the diploma was
issued during the five years preceding the application or, if the degree is more
former, if the applicant has practiced a profession related to his degree for at
least one year over the past 5 years. In this regard, refer to the rules
presented for evaluation of the test area of training in Section
3.3.1.2 of this chapter (see IPG 3-1, Section 3.3.1.2).
- In cases where the immigration officer finds that a record must
be given priority, he enrolled in seven the event code "TP1:
PRIORITY PROCESSING ", which shows the reference
Priority in the overview of the administrative record.
- Where the consideration of the application demonstrates that there is no place
treat a matter of priority, the immigration officer listed in
Seven the event code "TP2: BACK TO TREATMENT
REGULAR ". This change will effectively remove the word
priority treatment in the panorama of the administrative record
candidate.
- The immigration officer must pay very close attention to
processing and analysis applications from candidates referred by
a validated job offer or of those whose field of training is referred

List of the preferred areas of training in 2009 to ensure that
all regulatory avenues have been examined to facilitate their
selection, including the use of the discretion of the Minister,
accordance with the guidelines established in this regard (see GPI 3-5).
- Applications are processed first identified as such in the field
"Comments" CSQ. This information is automatically recorded from
the factor scores obtained Validated employment offer or code domain
training of the principal applicant and spouse, as appropriate.
- Customized versions of the letter PERM 132 (your certificate
Selection of Quebec) have been designed for applicants referred by the
Priority to support them in obtaining a visa
permanent residence and establishment in Québec. Thus, if the
Priority derives from the field of training of the candidate or his
spouse, the immigration officer puts them together with the CSQ
the letter PERM 132a (CSQ Priority treatment after October 14, 2009)
or, if an applicant graduated from Quebec (or a candidate whose
degree is considered a graduate of Quebec), the letter PERM 132
(Priority Processing Diploma CSQ Quebec after October 14, 2009)
.
The latter does not contain information of use for access
regulated professions, because they do not apply to their situation.
In the event that the priority handling is rather based on the presence in the
back of a validated job offer, the immigration officer puts
candidates referred to their CSQ with the letter PERM 132
(Priority Processing CSQ OVC after October 14, 2009).
4.2
Stage of preliminary examination
4.2.1 Objectives of the preliminary examination
The stage of preliminary examination serves to:
- Allow the identification of candidates can be selected
on record, given the results at this stage;
- Managing access to the interview process by removing the applications that
not meet the cutoff scores and the threshold of transition to the stage
preliminary examination.

Observations:
1) you will find the mapple tree every where.. i have one in front of my apartment... it is planted every where in Montreal... oh its lovely.

2) you hardly will find policemen on the road... i am yet to see one.... it is a peaceful place...

3) for we immigrants, we can get jobs that pays between (13-21)$ per hour... now it will be unfare to call such jobs survival jobs cos most of the jobs are office jobs (mostly call centre jobs) most of it Bilingual and there are also purely english jobs as well.. with most of it having pecks like pension plan, subsidized feeding, vacations etc.

4) yeah the starnge one: Vehicles here only have one number plate which is usually place at the back... u wont find a vehicle with two number plates...

5) my acct manager at Royal bank of canada is an immgrant and his sucess story is a challenge to me and becuase he had made his immigration story a big brake for himself and family... i am confident and sure that there is hope for us all as well... if only we remain focus and set things in motion as soon as we land.... dont be fooled, if ur profession is regulated, dont get here and say u want a job in ur area of trainning immediately.that is the fastest way to frustration. u can get very decent jobs prio to ur full certification for practice in ur prefered proffession..
it is well.
God bless us all.
Regards..
je reste toujours avec vous
Je suis très reconnaissant à vous pour cette information détaillée.

It was like everything was happening right before my eyes. Thanks buddy for giving so much confidence about the jobs, people and stay facilities. It really boosts so much of confidence and motivation.

Thanks buddy again. I wish you have success and smooth happy life for you and your family there in Canada. Good Luck.

Hi egrace,

You're so cool while describing your experiences especially in Montreal.. By the way my sister is a landed immigrant now there in Montreal.Would you like to give me your address? So that my sister can visit to you and maybe she could help you in some other way, since you are new in Montreal and no relatives.

Regards.
