Hi All,

This is Nagaraj. I have applied for Quebec selection certificate on 27th Dec 2010 and I need your help.
a) I live in India and have applied for CSQ in Hong Kong office. In case there is a interview will it be in New Delhi or Hong Kong?
b) Is IELTS certificate a mandatory one?
c) Do we receive any acknowledgement once Hong Kong office receives the document?

Really appreciate if some one can provide insight on these areas.

Nagaraj..

The interview can either be in India or Hong Kong depending upon the scheduling done by the BIQ Hong Kong.
IELTS is not mandatory..but it definately if you send it along.

Yes u ll recieve a file number as an AOR soon ..about 1.5 months

Good Luck

Shahi

Hi to All!!!

Is there a nurse applicant here for QSW? or anyone can answer this..... How many years of work experience as a nurse is needed to become eligible to apply. is it atleast 6 mos. or atleast a year?---like the requirement of federal skilled worker ...Thanks in advance..

I've work already for 6 years as a office manager with my bachelor of commerce course and with my second course which is nursing, just started working as a clinic nurse last sept 2010 only in which it is only 4 mos now.


Please help me so that i will know what to do.

@ Nicolepot, my advise for u is that in this game u should put your best foot 4wad.
As a nurse u need a minimum of 6months work experience.
i wish to advice that u wait till u av acquire 6months of work experience b4 u put 4wad ur application.
if u are applying with commerce as ur profession, u stand the following risks ( unless if ur area of specialization was in any of the following: Insurance, financial advisory services or Business management)
1) not having the required point which might result in application being rejected
2) Long case processing cos u will not benefit in priority processing. but if u can b a little patient so as to av 6months experience in nursing u will have additional 12points + priority processing. hope this helps

Hi toofiq,

It really depends. How much job experience do you have?

The first thing to do is to do the online evaluation - it'll tell you if you're likely to qualify.

Apply?

Thank you Marylatt for your response.
It says I meet the criteria.
Please advise me...

Does it really matter if you get more points, or it is only important to qualify? I mean can I get a visa (PR) with 50 points(which it is).
Would it be better to wait my experience to be more than a year, or should I start the application process already?
If I get a rejection, would I be able to apply again?
Does the previous rejection affect your future application?
What is the average time of total processing?

Your response is highly appreciated.

[vibez_well]

nope, it is not compulsory to have a french test score, but it helps a lot in strengthening your case.

From what I understand, the more points you have, the more likely it is that you won't need an interview - which is what everybody wants, to have the CSQ sent in the mail without needing an interview! In order to NOT have the interview though, you need at least 55 points if you're a single applicant, PLUS it depends on the situation (you could have 55 points but if they need you to clarify something, they'll still ask for an interview). It really depends on whether you want to wait; the thing is, immigration rules change, so if you wait a year, and they make the rules stricter, then you might not longer qualify.
In my opinion, if you have more than 49 points, you might as well apply, and then prepare yourself for the interview. That's what I'm doing anyway - I think I have 55 points, but I think I will most likely have an interview because I've applied before and been denied. :

If you get a rejection simply because you don't have enough points, I think there's no problem in reapplying. The only issue would be if you had lied to them before, or had a criminal record. I've applied before under H&C (not Quebec category) and been denied, and I hope there's no effect on my application now, because I was not denied due to inadmissability. I guess I'll find out, but from what I heard, and from what my previous lawyer told me, (though she was a conniving compulsive liar) there's no problem. ???

As far as processing times, that depends on your visa office. Here's an estimate

Of course, after you get your CSQ, then you have to wait for Federal to issue you a visa, and that has its own timeline:
