QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[vickyRocks]

I think GROUP 1 is the best and easy way to get Quebec Immigration if some one is really interested in moving to Canada. There could be other reasons also for introducing this kind of rule.. par example

1. They want to have people who are interested in living in Quebec rather than other province, because people usually move to another province after getting PR's.
2. Encouraging only those applicants who are good in French and genuinely wants to reside in Quebec.
3. Only focuing on people with high demand occupations.
4. Last and the most important only give preference to Quebec education and experience.

Guys Please share ur feedback..thanks

Hi Javeed,
As I understand this, the group 3 CAP is set to '0' which means no more applications accepted for this group right?

I also share the same point of view. Group 3 means u can't apply

Guys,

If someone wants to go and study in Quebe in order to be eligible to apply for CSQ, what are the acceptable programs/certificate ? Is there any list of these programs available online ??

Thanks all..

Hi All,

I have an application for Federal Skilled Worker already in process in Buffalo Visa Office since March 2011 (still RBVO status).

I received CSQ also a couple of months ago, which is valid for one year. Should I go ahead an apply for PR under Quebec Skilled Worker immigration also?
I am thinking if I submit second application (one for Federal Skilled Worker, and another one for Quebec Skilled Worker) will become a problem? because there is a contradiction that my first application (Federal Skilled Worker) is for Canada (except Quebec), and if I apply under Quebec Skilled Worker, it will be like for Canada (Quebec only)?

I am really confused that if I should really go ahead and submit a second application for QSW (but there is a risk that this contradiction may cause any problem?), or should I just stick with my previous application (in that case my CSQ will expire within next month).

Any advice would be really helpful for me!

Thanks,
Indus

AVIS
À compter du 1er avril 2012, les frais exigés du requérant principal pour l'examen de sa demande de certificat de sélection passeront de 406 $ à 750 $ afin de couvrir les coûts afférents au traitement d'une demande. Cette hausse de la tarification entre en vigueur sous réserve que l'Assemblée nationale du Québec adopte une disposition législative, rétroactive au 1er avril 2012, qui comporterait une disposition autorisant cette augmentation.


I am planning to submit my application, but I am confused on the payment I must incur on my Demand Draft. Should I pay $750ca or $405ca?



I am Single and planning to submit my application before April 01, 2012 but my application might reached it on April as for the reason that I am residing here in the Philippines.


Please help me. Thank you!

Thank you! How about if my application has reached the BIQ Hong Kong on or after April 1, will it still be considered.

Thank you! How about if my application has reached the BIQ Hong Kong on or after April 1, will it still be considered.

I have a friend sent his application before the last change of fees, and the file reached the BIQ after 01/01/2012, he was worried about this but they open his file and got the money, and sent him AOR
so no need to worry, and try to send it asap, nobody knows which changes may happen

Should my payment be on Demand Draft?

[Bachar]

Thank you! I will submit it today.

Should my payment be on Demand Draft?

Demand Draft is a good way make it payable to Ministre des Finances du Québec , or any other method
Method of payment

Only the following payment methods are accepted:

    certified cheque (international or drawn on a Canadian bank);
    Canada Post money order;
    bank draft or international money order;

ATTENTION! Cheques must made payable to the Ministre des Finances du Québec and must include, on the reverse side, the name of the applicant in block letters.

Hi friends,
We are witnessing a huge changes in quebec immi process since last few months.
What I think is that, These changes were planned in very advance to  brought in by quebec immi authorities.

1st change: SCORE OF 16 out of 25 pts to get points in any level of DELF. Effective from Sept 2011. Refer to GPI-3-1 edition.

2nd change: to send all documents and application for PR at federal stage to CIO, nova scotia instead of VO.

3rd change: mandatoty to submit language certificates to claim points for language proficiency, effective 6th dec 2011

4th change: increase in fees to CAD 406, effective 1st Jan 2012,

5th change: new forms are introduced and documents checklist is a must to be attached with all applications, effective Feb 2012,

6th change: introducing cap for Quebec immigrant applications, dividing qsw applications in 3 groups, effective 21st March 2012;

7th change: increasing fees to 750 CAD which is now almost double than fees before 6 months. Effective from 1st april 2012.

And what I heard is that still some more changes are going to come...
So, what they have done in last 6 months is to streamline quebec immigration process by tightening the rules and procedures and introducing more strict rules....
Reason is very evident to all. FSW cap is only 10000 and people started using qsw as a backdoor to enter canada. After getting PR under qsw people moved to another province.
They have accepted in their every official communication since Nov 2011, that flow of applications is increased which has increased the overall processing time, even time to send AOR was increased to 60 days from just 30 days and they are not finding it comfortable going further with such situation any more.
 Hence, the result is change in immigration rules. Still some more changes are expected even in funds requirement and work experience criteria.
Lets cross our fingers
This changes are not going to affect those who have already submitted their applications, so for them it is just to watch and wait for our turn...  In the time, we must prepare ourselves to get accepted with our criterias, because rejection now means closure of doors of quebec.
May GOD Almighty bless all!

Hey Pal...dont be worried...I was having same issue too!!!..Go ahead and apply, u can apply to as many processes positions you are qualified for. I didnt have Quebec in my 1st application (Dec.2007) untill now, l still dont have Doc. update. So l saw l an opporturnity in Quebec, so I took d chance and I am WILLING to LIVE THERE (Quebec), because my location of 1st application hasnt reach me yet..So I will be SINCERE to the region who gave me opporturnity, instead of robbing peter to pay paul....

GO AHEAD AND SEND YOUR APPLICATION, THERE IS NO RESTRICTIONS TO THE NUMBERS OF APPLICATION ONE APPLIED...

One more question, how come your CSQ is valid for 1year?...Mine is 3 years (36 months)!!!

Goodluck!!!
