Hello All,

So we had our interview in Accra on Thursday, October 18th and got our QSC immediately after. I'm sory i am just sharing this but i've been very occupied.

The interview lasted about 30 minutes. The interviewer started by asking to see the international passports and birth certificates of the entire family (good thing we had the kids passports with us). Thereafter, she requested for my academic certificates and i arranged this properly putting the result from the MICC for my credential evaluation at the top followed by the TCF-Q result and then original copies of my university certificates and the rest. She was impressed with the fact that i had done my credential evaluation and next, she asked to see my work documents. All our documents were neatly arranged in a transparent folder so it was easy to flip through and give her whatever document she requested for. She was speaking french throughout and i just struggled to pick out the verbs from her long sentences and try to deduce as much as possible. It was really tough keeping up with a native french speaker. After going through all the documnets, she returned some to me and kept some with her to make copies. She asked what level I was in AF presently and i gave her our AF ID cards. She asked me why we choose Quebec and once i explained that, she brought out the common values for Quebec that i had signed and asked if i signed that. When i answered in the affirmative, she said i should list the values and i was able to list some. She asked what i know about Quebec and the labour market and we showed print outs from various job sites and vacancy adverts. She asked if we had friends or families in Quebec and we said yes, we have a friend in Montreal and another in Calgary.
She moved on to my husband and started by asking if he spoke french, he replied a little and she asked to see his original certificates. We also attached the acknowledgement of receipt from the MICC for his credential evaluation and she asked if we had submitted the original transcripts like the AOR stated. We assured her that it has been done. She asked to see his employment details and after looking through his documents, she asked him to tell her what he did yesterday. He tried to explain this in his limited french and I guess she made some sense of it.
After this, she said she was through with her questions and that if we had any more information to share with her to support our application, or any questions to ask, we can go ahead. We sure did. We showed her our internet print outs and our research in various areas such as, schooling, child care and day care services, the cost of living in montreal and a detailed research on the part of montreal we wish to live and why we have choosen that borough. We also showed her print out of jobs we are wiling to take on arrival in Quebec while we settle down and perfect our french in readiness of the better offers. These include receptionist/front desk office, call centre jobs, etc She looked at all the print outs we had seemed quite impressed. She told us to wait outside for 10 minutes while she made copies of some of the documents she kept with her. I asked her how the interview went and she said she will tell us when we come back in.
After a very nervous 10muntes, she called us in and the only thing i could pcik from all she was saying was “felicitation”!!! She congratuated us, handed over our original documents and gave us 2 copies of the certificates for each family member. Adviced us to keep learning french while we go ahead with the Federal process.

This is basically it.

Hi Smallie,
Congrats! Thanks for responding to my query. I asked about the interview just to keep our motivation levels going. Since, it is a long waiting time, we will otherwise lose motivation to keep up to the demands.

This was motivational again. Hope you land in Montreal soon. Can you let us know what is your AOT or that of your Husband? And which country you belong?

Hi!I am happy to find a Nigerian in this thread.I sent my application to Paris on the 16th of August,2012 but i got an e-mail from them on the 29th of August,2012 that they received my application and that it has been transferred to Montreal.Since then,i have not heard from them.This is my profile:Age:35 years(16 points),Education:Higher National Diploma(8 points),Area of training: Electrical Electronics Engineering(0 point),Work Experience-4.7 months-Electrical Electronics Engineer(8 points),TEFAQ-Orale comprehension B2,Orale Expression B2(12 points),IELTS-Speaking band 8 and Listening band 7(5 points),3 children below 12 years(8 points),Wife's age 31 years(3 points),Education:bachelor in education integrated science(3 points) and finances(1 point).Total is 64 points.I also included a cover letter explaining my application and the steps that i have taken.I also included several print outs of different sectors of Quebec that i have found out and myself and that of my wife's occupation area.What are my chances of getting CSQ without interview?How fast is procession in Montreal office?
Dear GENTLEANDREW, My case is almost similar to your case but i'm applying through a lawyer in Montreal during the last Jun and haven't got FN or AOR yet, but i'm a bit confused regarding my Area of training, I'm a textile engineer which give me Zero points under AOT, but my wife is an accountant which falls under AOT. but some people told me i can not be the main applicant cause my AOT points are Zero.!!! however i have total score about 63 points without adaptability.....Are sure that we can apply if we get Zero AOT in case my spouse fall under AOT ???? My lawyer confirmed me its ok, but i'm a little worried.....and if we want to consider my wife is main applicant, we have to wait for another 4-6 months till my wife refresh her French and get TEFAQ...so it's long time already...Thanks....

Hi they do not consider the attestation they only accept the certificate. So send them a copy of the certificate only do not send original. In interview they will ask for original to compare. Never send original documents
Hello !

Actually i sent the Attestation de reussi and they refused it and resent it with a Stamp and Signature and they refused it and then i sent in the the time the Original and made two copies certified from French Embassy, as there is no Interview for those who applied in 2012.

Thanks for the update, I'm sure people awaiting interview would have gained one or two points from your feedback particularly in the area of the common values for Quebec, once again congratulations on the receipt of your CSQ.

Just one quick question, what is the process of making certified copies of original certificate from French Embassy?
