QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[gigianne2011]

 @  for those who haven't received AOR yet...

"The date of receipt of application is the date entered (buffered) by
the MICC on the Application for Selection Certificate (DCS) at the time of
receipt of the request. In addition, to be considered as having been received
by the MICC, the DCS must be duly completed, signed and accompanied by the fee
due."

so if your AOR is dated after Dec, 5, 2011... you are required to submit language exams

And oh, bytheway  applicante.ph..
You  mentioned as well that you have a friend who received her AOR then received a letter few days later telling she's for an interview? Will she be interviewed this Dec? thanks!

That means I shud submit my french results along with the application ? yes, my friend, as per new rules, if you want to get points of language proficiency, then you must attach test result attestations along with ur application for CSQ,
I am pretty sure I will get good score in IELTS , but french , im starting to learn only. Is it ok , if I satisfy my points with my IELTS score itself ?
it depends on ur overall points score. If u achieve interview cutoff points (49 pts for single applicant and 57 pts for married applicant) with IELTS alone, then surely you can send ur file without french results, but if u r short of points, then u must gather points of french proficiency.
Just to emphasize here, learning french will be of immense benefit to you in terms of settling and getting job in quebec, so whether u r getting points or not, learn as much of french as you can.
Good Luck for your application.

Hello members

I have done my graduation in commerce (B.com) from Mumbai university. This was a three year integrated course wherein I learnt management subjects like Business economics, Business law, accounting, human resource management, commerce and few aspects of marketing. (I think these subjects are all releveant to management course)

Can I claim 12 points under Section B of the Training list - College Level Technical Training - "Business Management (DCS 3 yrs)"

Hi nirav, does your degree certificate specifically mentions about "business management"?

 Because B.Com. Done From Indian universities have major subjects as Accounting or Marketing or Economics. So I think you will not get pts as asked by you, but it will be included as Accountancy/accounting DCS Major.

All Quebec applicants,

Do you have to attach a bank account as proof of funds? I didn't see this as a requirement anywhere in the instructions - just the signed declaration that one will have sufficient funds upon arrival.

Hi cezar, you need not to attach any proof of funds with ur application for CSQ, but you must sign and attach contract of funds self-sufficiency mentioning amount of fund you have for the number of persons in your application.
Pls check quebec immigration website for exact figures of funds.
Just keep in mind, you should maintain this much funds throughout the process of your application. It may be asked at the interview stage or at the time of landing.

Good Luck for your application .

Any insight on the English testing exemptions? I come from a country where English is not a first language but i have done my studies in English, and i work in an English company. Would i have to sit for exams to claim points for English?
 Most of you are talking of claiming points in their applications, is there a provision on the application forms to claim points. I can't get anywhere in calculating mine.
Last but not least, as you work on your french skills, if your English is not up to date, better work on it too! Montreal is a bilingual city and most employers insist on perfect bilingualism. I have some french friends who have  not been able to find meaningful employment coz of their limited English skills.

HI APPLICANTE,

you mentioned before that you hve no plans in taking any french exam right?
 I believe all applicants who havent been interviewed yet, must take the exam... I read from the other thread , the consulate (as what the applicant termed ) was  "angry" because he havent got any french results,(he was interview last 2 days ago i think) and told him he speaks basic french only ... that means that applicant had his AOR for many months ago, and still the consul is trying to apply the new policy during his interview.. so maybe, this will be applicable to applicants who are to  be interviewd yet.

yes i still dont have any plans in taking french test ( which can be supported by lots of personal reasons )or still play with luck anywy if they wont be satisfd w/ my french they will require me to take exam w/c is A1...my friend already passed the interview... as what i have posted earlier it will depend on your case... based on peso's case language proficiency is very important since it was part of claiming 49 points...though the IO was impressed with his interview but not satisfied with his french language... also, it will actually depend on how he supported his case with regards to learning french issues... In his case he claimed 4 points for basic french to reach 49 points... while as what i have said.. the safest french level is A1(2points) with an initial score of 51-53 points excluding anticipated french score during preliminary screening..

dear friends,

new form for "Application for Selection Certificate" is uploaded on quebec website.
They have updated Q.11 related to language proficiency, now it is asking very specific details of language tests, and also has a checkbox each for french and english language proficiency, which is to be ticked if an applicant is not submitting results of language tests with his/her initial application. In that case, s/he will not get any points for language proficiency, if test results are not submitted with initial application.

Generally for applications sent from India, they send AOR by post only.
