QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[red.mystry]

Hope, red.mistry's response clears the doubt regarding Question 3. It seems, he clarified it with BIQ. I recently submitted my application and now wondering if I did the right thing while filling out the forms.

Remember, cicnews.com is hosted by an immigration lawyer David Cohen. No doubt, it recommends to consult a lawyer!! I would like to verify anything which is not on the official websites. Well, that's me.

Hi All,
Please go through the following link
http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/immigrate-settle/permanent-workers/official-immigration-application/requirements-programs/glossary.html

It is mentioned under EDUCATION SECTION
a foreign diploma or training leading to the practice of a regulated profession or trade in Québec, if you have already received authorization to practise this occupation in Québec;

So you can mark yes only if you have received authorization to practice this occupation in Quebec.

 

[manojneelu]

Yes, red.mistry. I agree with you. (I have to, since I marked NO to all four questions... )

Hi harit79,

Am doing pretty good, apart from the frustration of waiting for the interview calls and stuff. Thanks ! How are you holding out ?
No updates at all from BIQ.

I took a break after completing my B1. planning to appear for DELF B1 in August.
taking a break was a bad idea maybe, coz my writing skills have seriously deteriorated ! The only connection I have with french are the french movies i watch and me & my wife try to talk to each other in francais. ;D

Hey Vibez,
How are you doing buddy?
Any updates from BIQ? Most probably you and yogie will be the next in queue for interview.
How's your preparation going on for french?
How many modules you have cleared so far?

 

[vibez_well]

Matrix1980,

I've always been pro DELF !! reason is that it allows you to take a test based on your level. Tests like TEF etc which have a common test and then find your current level are like swimming in deep waters. you never know how it will go. But then it also offers unexpected bounty of getting a higher level that what you actually are... which is great from a scoring point of view.

These July 1 changes are all aimed at the FSW guys I think. Les Quebecois dont have any such fixed dates hehe... they announce things whenever they feel like it !

Actually, i just started French language and i think i can pass the TCF/TCFQ easly.
BTW, do you think any new changes will be made on 1 July ?
Thank you.

For those who are MBA holders,

Many of you are frustrated because you don't know how many points you'll get for Areas of Training. I was in the same situation until I found this paragraph in the GPI-3:

"Un diplôme universitaire de cycle supérieur à celui indiqué à la Liste des domaines de formation est évalué de la même façon que s’il était de même niveau de cycle. Par exemple, un DESS en administration des affaires au Québec doit être évalué, en vertu de la liste, comme un baccalauréat en administration des affaires"

This means your MBA degree will be treated as "Administration des affaires (BACC. - 3 ans)".

You'll get 12 points if your degree is from Quebec/Canada/France. Otherwise you'll get 6 points.

Hope this help.

[DebR]

can your share your test experience n how was the testing specially speaking and listening what were the questions?

in TCFQ there are only 2 sections Specking & Listening.
in Specking the examiner ask me 6 questions which includes like describing myself and my family, about a football match I have watched, asking some questions about the examiner's job, activities of women for the society and generally what is the working schedule of the people on their working day.

And the listening part 30 questions are there and about various topics.

 

[DebR]

No, DebR. I believe, if you pass A2, you get 6 points in TOTAL, including A1 points. So,
A1 = 1+1 (2 points)
A2 = 3+3 (6 points, in total), and so on...

Correct me, if I am wrong. Thanks!

you are right. but in tcfq ther are 2 part only. listening & specking.
if one get in listening = A1 & specking = A2 , then s/he will get 1+3 = 4. understand...

Hello Naveed,
If you and your wife will clear DELF A1 then you can reach upto 61 points. But i would suggest you to take at least DELF A2 to make your file more robust.
