QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[kool_007dude]

Hi Geochaddy,

It is easy to find housing - just watch kijiji.com and phone the numbers to view the flat.
I was working 2 months in call centre but quit because you get almost a minimum wage pay, almost zero respect from clients and constant pressure to make sales. I am going home this sunday and not sure whether I should come back.

I am fully bilingual, hold PhD from UK, yet am rejected even for bank cashier posts. So far I see only two ways - either work in minimum wage service jobs for the rest of life or study from the beginning with no guarantee to get job at the end.

The moral: think twice before quitting your job and boarding your flight 8)

Dear don't lose your confidence....yes, u may work on lower post and on less salary for some months...but u can get good job in 3-4 months...so keep on trying !!

Points for your wife's experience will only count within the last five yrs. ie. experience gained in the 5yrs preceding her application.

Re: Further clarification

Dear,
Thanks for your reply.And what about miniumum points threshold for passing 57 or 63?

 

[rifiel]

57 minimum......then 63 after adaptability points. I.e if you are applying with a spouse.......

 

[lemans207]

57 minimum......then 63 after adaptability points. I.e if you are applying with a spouse.......

you must get 62 points without adaptability, during interview you can grant only 1 point as minimum
work on your languages to gain points

Wow! It's almost scary. My husband has a Phd in Chemistry and I have a Msc in Human Resource Management. We are only now learning french. I expect that when we land in quebec we would have to accept jobs that are below our level of training but would never expect it to be so bad. Do you think you are quitting too soon? Where in quebec are you? Have you tried another area of Quebec? At least as a last resort why not try to apply outside of Quebec? Please keep us posted because we all believe this is a glorious opportunity but we need to hear from persons who are actually there already so that we can have an idea of what we are up against.

Are there any other members of this forum with a better experience that can be shared with us?

Re: Further clarification

Dear friend,
I and my spouse are doing beginner level one in AF here in my country,Nepal.What my understanding was, under the new stream to claim points for language is only possible if one can submit the result of language along with initial application for CSQ.Is it possible to submit result of french language later on to make at least 62 points?
