According to what I have been noticing. Priority AOT receives AOR within 2-3 months if file is good and complete (based on a post where a member called MICC). Non-priority AOT receives AOR within 6 months (as the website claims). Get worried when it's past 6 months.

Actually I think that is not always accurate. I have a nursing degree which is considered a priority AOT, my file is also ok yet I received my AOR after 6 months. There are some who applied last october who are yet to receive their AOR. I think its safe to say to those who applied, priority occupation or not should expect their AOR after 4-7 months as stated in their website.

Hello kabayans,

Hows ur application doin'? Just a piece of advice lang, i know the feeling of a "waiting-game"..stress level is so high, so while waiting for the reply form the immigration, why not devote your time studying the language (French). When was in the Philippines, I kept on saying na kayang kaya ko ang french once I will be in quebec. That I can find a work with just basic French in my arsenal. But when i reached here na, its not that easy po especially when you look for a job. I applied for a job through online (cguro more than a hundred na) and yes, i received several phones call but the very first question they asked was, "are you fluent in French?" when i said, NO, they suddenly hanged up. When i met some locals, ive tried to communicate but once they open their mouth, i can't understand a single word. Buti lang sana if through reading kasi im a bit familiar (take note 99% of their signage are in french). This is not to discourage you guys but while may time pa dyan sa pinas, devote yourself studying holistically their language. Yes, meron french school den dito for you to study but make sure your money is enough to sustain your stay while you study french. Good luck mga kabayans...

PS: some members are asking me through PM but when i am about to send my replies, it doesnt allow kasi full yung inbox nyo)

I applied in a JCI accredited hospital. Took the exam and passed it with a result of being the top 1 in all of the examinees but I was not hired since I have a pending application abroad. naging honest lang naman ako nung tinanong nla ako if may pending application ba ako abroad. Isn't it fair? dapat ba talaga na mag sinungaling nalNg ako na wala akong pending application abroad para ako ma hire? hahayy kahit deputy nurse sabi sakin sayang kaw pa naman highest sa mga examinees. di pa nga sure kasi baka ak ma reject ng quebec taapos un pa naging reason kung bakit di ako nila na hire ;(
