QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[ABMIR]

OsamaR please update the table. I received AOR from Sydney CIO today 23 March. I guess there will be no more AORs as I heard that London VO does not issue second AOR. However, other Visa offices issue second AOR once they start processing. Thus you may wish to add a new column to your table to track the AORs by visa offices.

Congrats buddy,
How did you get your AOR by email or normal post,well at least you got it,did they send you your tracking number as well.
All the best ,inshallah we all get there
God bless

Thanks Abmir, I got it by e-mail from my attorney. It seems there is no hardcopy. They sent a few reference numbers, but I am not sure if it is appopriate for tracking. Waiting for my attorney's reply. BTW, there are threads for February 2012 and March 2012 applicants.
You can use them to track others and forecast when your queue comes:

Thank you for your inputs, but I have with me some questions:


#14. Meaning, my application package will contain anothe envelope on it? Should I write a letter informing the Visa Officer that I had placed my work related documents in separate envelope?

My Job description has been incorpoted on my Certified Job description.

#16. My certification for French hasn't qualified on the examinations mentioned, the very reason I didn't claim any points there.

As for the letter that I will be making where should I place them in my application package:

a. Letter for my English Qualification?

b. Letter for my French Qualification?

c. Letter for my intention to Quebec?


Thank you and I badly needed your answer as for the placement of the letters I will be writing.

Thank you!

Hello my friend

I can share my experience, when I applied I had submitted one folder/envelop but within this one envelop i had several other sub-envelops for each of the different categories to make it easy for the Visa Officer to locate my information in one centralized place. For example all my education certificates were placed in a separate envelop from my job information and likewise in a different envelop from my financial infor...but it was all submitted as one. You may not have to do it but, it is good presentation, and hey, it may make a good first impression!

The letters for me I placed them in a sub-envelop also and labeled it as "Background - intention to reside in Quebec." If you write your capabilities of french as basic, i think this is where you can insert the certifcate to show you know some french.

Finally, the person on this blog who recommended you make copies of everything is very important too, in fact, this person gave rather good advice all potential applicants should follow...I forgot to inform you of this earlier, I apologise for that

Just learned that the file number issued by CIO is not suitable for tracking. We need to wait for the file number issued by London VO :'(

[knivesvente]

@ knivesvente,
Since I didnt found these in ur list, so just checking if u r attaching this documents or not.

1. Notarized copies of identification pages of ur valid passport,
2. 2 additional passport size photograph. Write ur full name and dob on the back side of photos.
3. 2 labels of ur address. 1 in english and other in ur native regional language.
4. Dont forget to mention in BOLD letters, ur full name, dob and country of residence on the back side of payment cheque/dd.

One more thing. Make photocopies of all the application formats u r submitting Keep them with you. This will help you to verify ur details with IO at the time of interview.

Wish u good luck for ur application.

1. I'll make sure to have my identification notarized.
2. Where should I place these photos? Should I make a separate envelope for it?
3. I have no idea how to do this and we are only using English for our address. Should I print my address on a letter size coupon bond? And where should I place it?
4. Can I type using electric type writer?
5. I am having trouble on form A-0520-AA page 3/7 section 9.1, is the additional sheet means I can reuse the page and fill it out or technically I can use my own format on filling out my principal tasks performed as part of my duties?

Please help me.

hi Bajan4Quebec, thats is exactly what I did when Is sent my application. In the main envelope of my application package, I made 5 sub-envelopes A, B, C-1, C-2, D-1, D-2 and kept documents in categorized way.
Such as Envelope A contains all Application formats with complete details.
Envelope B contains educational documents for me and my spouse, Envelope C-1 contained work experience docs for me, and like that. Also at that time there was nothing like doc checklist form for csq stage, so I made a complete checklist of documents for my entire application package and numbered each documents. I also pasted on the envelope the A-4 size label having list of documents contained in that particulat envelope. In total approx 170 documents I submitted with my application for CSQ. My purporse was to help IO to locate any particular document in an easier way. He just need to see the label pasted on the sub- envelope instead of running through the entire bunch of documents. Also it wili help him to see for missing docs or additional docs.
Just one thing I missed here, I didnt attached any letter for my plans in quebec. Instead I submitted schedule 5 here at CSQ stage.
I m sure, based on yours, mine as well many other applicants way of submitting checklist, they might have finally introduced official docs checklist.
The letters for me I placed them in a sub-envelop also and labeled it as "Background - intention to reside in Quebec." If you write your capabilities of french as basic, i think this is where you can insert the certifcate to show you know some french.

1. I'll make sure to have my identification notarized. Ok buddy. also check, if you have any abroad travel history, then u must attach the notarized copies of visa stamped pages of ur passport too.
2. Where should I place these photos? Should I make a separate envelope for it? you should keep them in a small envelope and attach it with your Application for CSQ format. Dont staple the envelope with the form. Just use U-pin.
3. I have no idea how to do this and we are only using English for our address. Should I print my address on a letter size coupon bond? And where should I place it? if you dont want it in your regional language then u should submit both the labels in english. you can print them in postcard size stickers and attache them with the photographs envelope with ur application for csq.
4. Can I type using electric type writer? yes, you can.
5. I am having trouble on form A-0520-AA page 3/7 section 9.1, is the additional sheet means I can reuse the page and fill it out or technically I can use my own format on filling out my principal tasks performed as part of my duties? additional sheet means you can continue it on a blanc white paper, may be you can write it or you can type it. I did it in my own handwriting.

Please help me. good luck buddy for ur application.
