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.

You or your accompanying spouse hold a Québec diploma or a diploma treated as a Québec diploma that sanctions at least one year of full-time studies.

If none of these situations applies to you, you cannot submit an application until after March 31, 2013.

@ shailja,

you can very well go ahead with your application with qsw as your profession/Area of Training (AOT) comes under priority professions - chemistry. Also you will be able to file your application under following criteria as mentioned in latest notice:

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).

pls check below link: http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/publications/fr/divers/domaines-12-16.pdf

your AOT is under code:U020 Chimie (BACC. - 3 ans) Diplôme d'études universitaires 1er cycle - 3 ans.
It will be covered under Diplôme étranger (Foreign Diploma)

wish you good luck for your application.

Just one word of caution: Now-a-days QSW gives very much attention to french-speaking applicants so it becomes of utmost important for you and your spouse to learn french as well as you can. This will increase your chances of acceptance of your application.
