Which code you are talking about? if you are filling the form there is no need to fill the code.

 

[Ketevan]

This is fine. My appointment letter only indicated salary but did not show mode of payment. I said it was paid by cash and no payment slips were provided. The interviewer accepted this.

Thanks Katayoon...My appointment letter indicates the salary however it is not written that it will be paid in cash or by some other means. Is It OK?

Hi,
read this story in English here:

Economic Immigration: Quebec closes the door

(Quebec) collapsing under the applications for selection certificates submitted by foreign nationals in the category of economic immigration, the Department of Immigration and Cultural Communities is compelled to suspend receipt until March 31, 2013.
However, this exceptional measure does not affect the handling of cases of foreign workers who are recruited by Quebec companies to meet specific needs - and desperate - labor.

"Historically, we always get a number of immigration applications was relatively balanced with respect to our objectives determined by our annual planning and our ability to process files," said Montserrat Escola, the communications department of the Ministry of Immigration and Cultural Communities (MICC). "For three years, however, we receive a volume of applications that significantly exceed our needs and our processing capacity."

Thus, the group of foreign nationals in the category of economic immigration - that is to say, skilled workers, immigrant investors, entrepreneurs and the self - the number of applications received by the Department literally exploded. 30 000 applications in 2008, this figure rose to 65,000 in 2011, Escola said Ms. Sun.


Faced with this avalanche of requests and considerations of prudent management, the Council of Ministers, under the recommendation of the Minister of Immigration and Cultural Communities, Kathleen Weil, adopted June 27, a decree authorizing the suspension of receipt of applications for selection certificates submitted by foreign nationals in the category of economic migration for a period up to March 31, 2013.

Annual Immigration Plan

The Immigration Act allows Quebec, in effect, to the Minister to suspend the receipt of applications for selection certificates for a specified period if it determines that the number of requests for a category of foreign nationals will, significantly, higher than the estimate provided in Annual Immigration Plan or that applications will be processed in a class at the expense of other demands given the capacity and integration of Quebec.

You should know that 70% of the 51,737 immigrants to Quebec in 2011 came from the category of economic immigration, mainly from the subset of skilled workers. The other gateways permanent immigration are those of family reunification (20%), Refugees (9%) and on humanitarian grounds (1%).

Immigration Plan provides for the issue of Quebec, for the year 2012, 39 000 and 41 000 selection certificates to foreign nationals belonging to the subset of skilled workers and members of their families accompanying them . However, the MICC has received 51,111 applications for selection certificates Quebec for fiscal year 2010-2011 and 53 890 for 2011-2012.

In the case of sub-categories of immigrant investors, entrepreneurs and self-employed, the Plan provides for the issue of immigration from 9000 to 10,000 certificates. MICC has received 9,433 requests in 2010-2011 and 7454 last year for these three subcategories.

In its planning immigration levels 2012-2015, the ministry aims a relative stabilization of the volume of admissions to 50,000 people a year. He also wants to maintain an annual minimum of 65% share of economic immigrants in all admissions.

In addition, Ms. Escola was keen to reassure companies that travel the world for finding workers not found in Quebec they will not be penalized by the measure that just passed. Instead, the handling of cases of foreign workers hired by companies to fill specific needs for labor will be even more speed

Does this affect every type of application except arranged employment?

I'm about to explode ???

hi Indian4mSA & megalomax,
Pls read my below post.
This notice was announced on 29th June 2012, but as confirmed by many forum members here that, there are certain exceptions under which you can still apply for qsw. Such as if your aot is falling in list of 12 pts or 16 pts, you can apply under present rules of qsw.
Hope this clarifies your confusion and doubts.

For more info, pls refer to previous posts of this thread.

Yes reginaforquebec, There is nothing new in this news article regarding change in rules for qsw. It is the same as announcement made by them recently.
Yes, there is the explanation in the news article about why this decision of suspending qsw till March 2013 is taken.

Hello Guys,

This is Vaibhav from India. I am planning to apply for Quebec Skilled worker visa from India. Some highlights of my profile.

I have 2.5 years of IT experience in .Net technologies with one of India`s leading software exporters. I am currently working on a US Telecom`s giant project. I am yet to give French A2 level certification. Apart from this I am an engineer in Information Technology from India. By the time I get a PR(if I apply) I will have 3.3 years of experience.

I want to know of how are job opportunities for IT guys in Canada? I heard that there good job options for IT people, with a salary of around 5000 - 7000 CAD per month. Please let me know about this. I am planning to file my visa through an Indian visa agency Visas Simply, which is quoting me 130000INR(2350CAD approx) + 750CAD for visa charges. Please let me know if should go ahead with my decision on not.

One more query I had. Is it necessary to get the visa application filed through a Visa agency? I mean is there any complex procedure involved in filing the application? Can I myself file the application and save the 2350CAD which the filing agency is asking for? Offcourse, they say that they will be helping me with finding jobs after my PR is approved, but then I don`t know what is the current market status there. Also, let me know that if I come under Quebec skilled visa programme to Canada, can I apply/seek for jobs in whole of Canada or Quebec only?

Probably you all guys who have went there can guide me better.
