QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[TJ CAN]

In my opinion and my experience in the Interview the officer is not familiar with your case. He will calculate your points during the interview.
I have not sent any language test or whatever, anyway the rules are changed but even if you will take with you the French or English Test from TOEFL or IELTS your capabilities of talking will be judge by the officer and the point you are calculating will be not the same in the interview, Believe me on this , i was calculating many time my case but in the end my calculation did not matter, the officer did his calculation based in my interview.

Good luck buddy and prepare your self well.

Hi, You mean that we have to keep some additional points before we submit application? In my case I have 56 points without french.

I need to know whether my spouse can get points for Advance Level Examination under following criteria,
"Secondary School General Diploma"
because in Canada A/L exam is consider as high school diploma. Please advice.

Wow egrace! and finally you're in montreal.. do you have friends or family who are already there where you stay with right now? how's job? how many times in a day you speak french, or i mean do you speak french all the time when you talk to people there? again, congratulations! and also for your luck of not having snow this xmas... =)
But as for me, i am very very happy, that snow is yet to fall... temperature has been fare. it hasent fall to -6 degrees. the least we have gone is -4degrees. most days we are always on 3 to 4 degrees. am happy that at least the delay is really giving me the needed time to adapt to the cool weather b4 we plunge into -35 degrees...

[egrace62]

thanks dear. my being in Montreal is no longer a news cos by december 26th, i would av spent 2months in Montreal!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have no-one here but God.... A tough skin and a tender heart is all that one needs to survive here and of cos with God. tous sera bien.
most pple here are bilangual, so one can alway switch whenevr althogh usually the pple are more fluent in one than the other.

As per speaking french: i wish to tell u that there are pple who had spent over 20yrs in Montreal and yet, they cannot put together a simple phrase in French... so it is a matter of determination to learn. those that dont speak french will always have a way but believe u me it is much more easier if one speaks french. so every day i ensure i spend hrs in french class where we speak only french and dedicate 2hrs per day for listening and checking up new words in french. i wrk in English though i hope to switch to a bilingual wrk this december. just training my ears for the maintime to e able to pick the accent here

Hello, I got this email from my agent who submitted my application. though I am planning not to sit for the exam.

Thank you for your email.

Although the French tests are mandatory in new submission, we have been advised by the government that old cases must be encouraged to sit for the test prior to their interview.

Therefore, please arrange to sit for either the TEFAQ / TCFQ (which are oral exams) or for the DELF/DALF (which include all 4 abilities).

We still haven’t received the result of the equivalence. I will be inquiring on January 15 regarding it.



Best regards,

 

[lirjan]

egrace62 how are you buddy?

I am happy to hear from you. Hope that everything is fine there. Wait for me man , i got the CSQ and i have applied my documents to the federals now.

If you see "wings or shahi" tell them we would love to hear any news.

Take care , when you have some free time just walk here to tell us your experiences.

 

[hello3384]

hello friend, I am also from India and almost in the same situation as of you. Was about to submit the application and now totally confused. How you calculated the points? Using the online tool? Will you please share the info. on how to calculate the score other than using the online tool. Thanks

As per the new rules on Dec 5th , we have to submit the proof for language proficiency along with the application,if we claim any points for language proficiency.

1. If I do not satisfy 49 points , say I only have 47 points ( because Im learning french now , so 2 points less ) ,can I apply with my IELTS score alone, my points will be 47 only ( without french ) , will my case be rejected ?

It is said that we need a minimum of 49 points as a Bachelor , the rest 6 point will be given at the interview time totaling 55 points.

2. If I satisfy 49 points (suppose I get 2 points after learning french ) , will I be given 6 points if I perform well in the interview ?

Thanks Egrace for such a quick response and warm wishes You definitely seem to be keeping very busy. Although you had no friends or family when you landed, I'm sure you are meeting people and making friends. Did you say you were in the Cotes des Neiges area?

Yes, the visa office have both my medicals and passport as of yesterday, so the ball is in their court. Hopefully everything goes smoothly.
