QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[swamik]

hi guys i am new to this forum ..... i am also interested in QSW ... i and my spouse have taken IELTS test where in I got over 7 bands and her 5 bands and now as the rules are changed and it is mandatory to show French language proficiency I would like to know that if do we both need to take the TEFAQ test or I being the main applicant is ok...... please let me know.

Only Primary applicant can score points for English, but both can claim points for French i think its 16 max for primary applicant and 6 max for secondary. French is not mandatory, however, the French language has the maximum weight among any criteria(22( 16 for primary + 6 for Secondary)), hence if you are falling short from the cut off points, only the french score can rescue your application from being rejected. Also, you should score B2 level to claim points, if you are good in french already, then my suggestion would be to send the application( if you already cross the threshold of 57) and later send the french score.

swamik thank you for the reply .... please let me know where i can calculate my points ... appreciate if you could send me the link.

Apologies for asking the same thing again. But i did not get exactly what you want to imply. I mean Software Engineer/Developer is completely in accordance to my education and after completing a B.E. in Computer Science and Engineering, the work ex best related could a job of a computer engineer. I am not able to understand the point of using or not using the word ENGINEER. The reason for this is in their Areas of training, its clearly mentioned COMPUTER ENGINEER. If possible, please explain in detail about what i am missing. That would be a lot of help. Thanks

I think my post got lost because of the concerns over the application of new rules. But as i am preparing my app, please reply if possible

I do have another question if anyone has experience or knows the response.

We have applied for CSQ, do we have to wait for the certificate before we can do the RP demand? I ask this as on the RP application form which I tool a look at yesterday it has the question have you got your CSQ if no when did you apply!

Can we apply for RP without the certificate and then send them it once we have it?

yeah thats the story, we need the CSQ to be able to apply for PR, without CSQ will b federal, another long waiting time for federal :-[
CSQ applicants must live in Quebec and Federal must live in federal not easy and very strict

francophone cant enjoy life in federal, I had many friend applied federal and they moved after around a year to Quebec

 

[Titoualfruk]

So is there a way then that once we have the CSQ we can move to Quebec and then do the Federal part from Québec?

The truth is that I am fed up and bored here in France and want to start my new adventure in Québec as soon as possible.

hehehe france much better than Quebec trust me your in europe.
CSQ is just a paper of acceptance selection, you submit another federal application, they make security and medical check and visa,
it takes around a year

paris BIQ is very fast, i think thet are 2012 applicants now

i would spend additional 4 years and get french passport

 

[jetoquebec]

Will those January to November 2011 applicants be processed in new rules too? :

 

[Titoualfruk]

I read somewhere that anyone with a Phd / doctorat / post graduate is treated as priority is this the case?

Pure BS...

Nope it is not, look at the updated application form there is a section for comprehension and production written.

You may have misunderstood me, I mean it does not contain any new information. New rules now assign points for written skills also, that is already known for weeks. Also, standardised test requirements for applicants before 6/11/2011 is also known for a long while.

This is quite a long text to give absolutely no new information in response to an applicants request.

Is it really true ? before 6 Dc. 2011 will be under new rules ??
Why they say something different every time ?

did you get an interview call ? are you on waiting list ?

 

[Matt95]

New rules, more than likely, if you look at the FAQ's in their French website. If you are not going to claim points for French upon submission of your application, you must make sure you have 49 or 57 points at least, without it ( I reached this conclusion because they said somewhere in their site, "applicants who wish to claim points). Then you can just update your file later and get additional points. But without French, you may be at a disadvantage because Quebec is very particular with this. They'll accept your application but may put other files with French ahead of yours.

Hi Guys! Does anybody have any clue about how much of time they will give us to update our French scores..in case of falling short
