That's Way I am again planning to go with Quebec immigration programm.

But are you sincere in residing in Quebec or is it you just want to come to Canada?

Javeedji,


Can u tell me what it says????

It simply means that the CIC took a harsh stance and gave back all applications prior to Feb 2008....applications have been in queue for long periods of time and were not being processed. Files have been sitting in respective visa offices from as early as 2004 possibly before. Since then the CIC introduced a fast track system in 2008 (38 occupations in demand can apply) and again in 2010 (29 occupations and a cap). Under the fast track system, applicants who applied for example in 2010 were admitted to Canada in one (1) year...while others have been waiting since 2004. Keeping the applications in queue came at a cost to immigration officials and thus the harsh stance to return them. Though it is sad news, some of them who are most eligible are urged to re-apply under the PNP category.

what grade did you attain in the IELTS?
DELF in itself is valid for life, but Quebec only accepts DELF results for 2 years after the certificate was awarded.

http://www.canadavisa.com/news/entry/proposed-changes-for-spousal-sponsorships-110330.html

As Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) and the Government of Canada have noticed an increase in the number of fraudulent marriages, they are proposing changes for the Family Class immigration category, specifically for spousal sponsorships.

Under the Family Class category, Canadian permanent residents and citizens are able to sponsor their spouse or common-law partner (non-Canadian) for Canadian permanent residency. Currently, once a spouse/partner lands in Canada as a permanent resident, they are not obliged to stay with their spouse/partner.

The Government of Canada is proposing to impose a “conditional permanent residence” for non-Canadian spouses or partners who have been in a relationship with their Canadian sponsor for two years or less. The newcomer would have to remain in the relationship with their Canadian sponsor for two years upon their arrival in Canada. If the newcomer decides to leave his/her spouse/partner, the permanent residence status would be revoked, which may result in their removal from Canada.

The second change would impose a “sponsorship bar”. Sponsored spouses or partners would not be able to sponsor a new spouse/partner for at least five years.

The Government of Canada is accepting comments from the public regarding the proposed changes for the next 30 days.

Katayoon, could you provide a valid link where this infomation is found? To be fair, there is an issue where persons may arrange fake marriages to get into Canada, The CIC is aware of this and usually when most persons marry to a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident....They are not given landing documents right away, usually what happens is the couple lives apart for a while, this length of time is deliberately done to tweek out those fake marriages. I have heard cases of couples living apart for 2 years, but not to the extreme you posit of 5 years...could you please provide a valid link for me to peruse and keep for my personal records?
 
To All Senior Members,

I received an email yesterday for my interview call in NYC.

I have a question with regards to the email - they have asked me to reply back by signing the letter (which is part of the email) within 5 days confirming the date and time of the interview. Should I just reply back to the email saying that I am confirmed or do I have to print the email and sign it and scan or fax it back to them.

Thanks in advance guys!
 
If they've asked you to sign it, then you should probably do that. so take a print, sign, scan and send it back !
All the very best. hope you've polished your francais !

bonne chance !

hello forum members,
As per the new quota system for quebec Immigration, website is updated yesterday with the number of applications received from 20-March-2012 upto 31-March 2012:

Check the link:
www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/informations/applications-received.html

They have updated only business class and enterpreneur class categories.

The main thing I have observed here is that they have already reached to almost 10% of total quota of application within period of just 10-11 days, so now it can be understood the application load they are receiving now-a-days.

Same thing might be for Group 2 of QSW, so my advice to all who are waiting or preparing their application for QSW Group 2, you must speed up and send your application as fast as you can.

Because, looking at these statistics, it will not be surpeising if the quota of 14300 will be exhausted by July 2012.


Skilled Worker category is still showing as "to be posted".

Hello "vibez_well link"..
The English language/proposal is very simple please try to intereprete it well so that, other forum members will understand. And besides, "THANKS FOR THE INFO...GOOD WORK!!!"...
The interpretation is very straight forward, and its valid here in U.S.A. too!!!..What they mean is that if you are sponsored to come and live with your husband/wife, you must stay in that marriage for sometime, and if you deceide to leave your marriage, you can not sponsor another man/woman to be your spouse untill after 5 years...This is to check-mate fake marriages, and they are very common in North America...I think they are copying U.S.standard.

But you did a great research to find this piece of information out....GOOD JOB MY FRIEND!!!
