QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[nevillek]

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.

Mkshah, it is 6, 12 or 16 pts I think...

Hello friends,
Its been a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!! trust evryone is doing great...
by July 26th, it would av been 9months since i landed in Montreal and i wish to jsut share some of the few things i av come to know and experienced!

Before i proceed i will like to state that, i got my professioanl permit as a Chemist in the month of May which allows me to use the title of a chemist and also to work as same i got a Job in my field as a Chemical Analyst( Drug research and Development) with Kabs Pharmaaceutical Services on 11th July 2012. and i ahve since resumed.

CREDENTIAL EVALUATION:
Majority of the jobs available will never demand credential evaluation. and the reason is not far-fetched ( these are low paying jobs that apparently does not require any special skills)
But i also will like to state that there are also few very good jobs that are high paying hence they require credential evaluation
Some Employers that request for this are:

Government of Quebec:
The government of Quebec is a huge recruiter of new immigrants afterall they selected them ;D ;D ;D. and the jobs are really good with nice pecks.
one does not need to b fluent in french b4 one get recruited but credential evaluation is a MUST, other conditions are: professional membership permit for those who are in a regulated profession. Moreso, there is also an examination to b administered on all applicants for the purpose of shortlisting the candidates only those who passed will then go to the interview stage. a fluent level of french is absolutely NOT required bcos the government aim is to increase the number of non french speakers in public service. but after employment, the new employee will have to get enrol for french courses for to improve their french skillsskills
The recruitment process takes long time like 9months or even a year but then it is what it if one eventually get the job.

Government of MONTREAL
The same conditions as with the government of Quebec applies. the only difference is that, the exam is much more tougher here. suprisingly, they pay higher than the big father (Quebec) and the recruitement process is much more faster due to better application management since they use online application process unlike the paper based process still being used by Quebec. Job postings with the government of Montreal can b found at
ville.montreal.qc.ca

GENERALS
Due to the law in Quebec, all job will always ask for Bilingual( FREnch-ENGLISH) but in most cases, the employer need just english speakers but the law compels them to advertise jobs as bilingual or French only.. for instance in my new job, i work only in English even though i am confortable working in both now!!! but the job posting was written in french and the requested for excellent language skills in French-English

to b frank with you, some pple do quit Quebec but then nobody knows what will bcom of them when they want to bcom citizen. but as for me, i decided to stay and undertake all that needed b done to improve my chances in the quebecoise society.
The government of quebec might not be perfect, but then they r really trying with immigrants with the level of support and so on. just that immigrants dont dig out this informations and they just take decision to quit. it wasent easy for me as well cos i had to do different kind of jobs ad still attending french classes evryday. It was not easy at all, but when the going gets tough, only the tough get going... i could av call it quit but with God on my side and my determination i worked at it. and after obtaing my credential evaluation and professional permit, i found out that i am now qualified to get a letter from the government and the letter simply states: the person whose name appears above is qualified for salary grant with emploi-quebec. and wat that simply means is that, the government will assist any company that hires me in paying half of my salary, my employer will only pay half. there-by reducing the salary burden on employers. i was told to attach this letter to every job application i make and that contributed in no small measure to my securing my good job. i am sharing this so that those who truly plan to stay in Quebec can know he cost of that decision and begin the process of their integration even long b4 their arrival and also to those who av landed and are not aware about some of these things, hey!!!! wake-up , there are several things going on!!!!!!
i hang it here for now!!

I just spoke to BIQ, Hong Kong TWICE and they said that they are still accepting applications for skilled workers and the lady had heard of no new announcements on July 13th as per the 'Le soleil' article. Seems like the article was a misleading one. Request others to confirm.

Yes, everybody and all new applicants or will-be
applicants... Pls dont read all these news articles...

As already shared by so many members before, here I am again sharing that anyone who qualifies under the following CRITERIA can still apply for qsw. It is not on hold completely.

It as follows:
You or your accompanying spouse hold a diploma awarded by a teaching institution in an area of training allowing you to get 6 (see list, in French, 38 kb), 12 or 16 points under the area of training criterion of the selection grid for skilled workers (see list, in French, 35 kb). The number of years of study required to obtain your diploma must be at least equal to the number of years required to obtain that diploma in Québec. This diploma was obtained less than five years before the date of your application. Failing that, you must have practised, on a full-time basis and for at least one year out of the five years preceding the date of
your application, a profession or trade in an area
related to that diploma.

this is true! do not trust news articals....only official website!!
