QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[mkshah]

hello patriots1700,
welcome to the forum,

here is the info you asked for.
1. It seems that you have a DVS (DVS = Diploma of Vocational Studies) done in IT, so pls confirm if it fits as "Computer Support DVS, 1800 hours or 2 years". If yes, then you will be able to get into Group 2 (6 points).

2 & 3.  Pls confirm this 1 year experience after your diploma is in the same field related to your education, ie in computer support (IT). If yes, since you have experience related to your education, you will get points for education (6 points)and area of training(6 points) as well.
8 points for work experience over 5 years

4. 16 points

5. to prove your language proficiency and to claim points for the same, you must submit test results of approved language tests. for english IELTS and for french, DELF/DALF, TEF, TCF, TEFaQ, TCFQ. If you have none of these, then you will not get any points for langauge. If you have any, pls update with your results, so that we can help you in calculating points for this.

6. 1 point for highschool education of spouse. No points for language proficiency for spouse unless you submit results. points for french language proficiency are awarded for spouse. 3 points for spouse age below 35 years
total 8 points for 2 kids under age 12 years.

7. Add 1 points if you have sufficient funds to support family of 5 persons.

8. If you/your spouse have education done from quebec, worked or stayed at quebec anytime in life  or have any family member residing in quebec, then you will get points for this.

So, total points with this details is 53 but since you have not given your info in a proper format, some of your points may be missed to add here, so give your details as per below:

Age :
Education : your highest education & done from which country
Area of Training :
Validated Employment Offer :  if you have received any job offer from quebec employer

Stay and Family in Quebec :
Spouse's Age:

Just to add.... this point calculation I did for you have taken more than a couple of minutes of my time my friend....

hi knivesvente,
you must have declared details of your previous any application made for PR...

Based on false information, they can still reject your application at selection stage itself.

This is a big blunder done from your side.... nothing would have cause any harm if you had declared this info of previous application made for FSW PR.

now since, you have sent them the application and it is received by them, still you can update them about this info by sending an email mentioning your situation and the relevant details.

Also in this e-mail, ask for them if you can submit/send a corrected/updated format of Application for Selection Certificate.
If they agrees, you must send just this format which will then be attached with your original application package.

wish you good luck and Keep updating us about your application ...

Experts, I badly need your opinion.

Good morning!

I had submitted my application for CSQ on the 24th of March 2012 --- received and stamped by the BIQ HK on the 26th of March 2012.

On my application, I selected NO on the "Have you ever applied for Permanent Residence in Canada except Quebec" though I have had applied for the FSW category on JULY 2010. I got my E-CAS number but then I have had my application withdrawn.

My question is that:

1. Should I have had selected YES on the "Have you ever applied for Permanent Residence in Canada except Quebec" or I did have the correct choice of selecting "NO" though I have had received my E-CAS under FSW and have it withdrawn?

if YES should be my choice:

1a. When is the best time for me to update BIQ HK as for the reason that I haven't declared on my application form specifically on the Application Selection Certificate (A-0520-AA) that I had applied on the FSW category last July 2010 and that I had withdrawn my application.

1b. Should I wait for my AOR first before I update them or it'll be a lot better to update them as soon as possible?

1c. I already withdrawn my application. What should I select on the choices? Accepted? Denied? Waiting for Decision?


2. Would this deviation on my application cause vital effect on my CSQ application?


Thank you in advance!

Hello knivesvente,

I want to add one point here..

Don't give any incorrect information. Because, they have many agents by which they run background check throughout the world. Hence, please be double sure before giving any incorrect information. This things may not only cancel your application, but also give a bad stamp whenever you will go to apply any other immigration for other country that you were rejected for giving false info in case of other immigration process, if any question arises.

Hi MKSHAH Sir yur help is required.

I have been inquired with  2 to 3 agents questioning upon older than 2 years A1 and A2 is not being validated by BIQ as given in website also.But they all are saying that it is not like that DELF is valid for life time.My self also confused that whether they are right or they don't have enough knowledge.

what to do??

[vickyRocks]

This is peculiar...what I mean is you applied way in advance before the rules changed where it is now mandatory to show evidence of knowing the language.  Don't get me wrong I'm not stating to Lie but why didn't you state on your application that you knew some degree of French and then work towards attaining that level so when asked you can redily show as proof.  None the less, the fact that you submitted your application without claiming French and received an initial AOR means your file was opened and satisfy the initial requirements...I could only see the updates you gave them prove that you have a desire to master the language spoken there, keep your records with you and once called for an interview you can show them to claim points for adaptibility

Thanks Bajan,

Before making of my application when i did the online assessment i was qualifying without French language, and for the safe side i did not mention any knowledge of French coz i was expecting to have my interview in English, similarly i sent my registration slip with Alliance Francaise with my application but when the points were calculated i was short of 2 points as they informed me and than i took the DELF exams..

But still my question remains...As some one told that language points were locked at the time of making application and in that case God forbids my French language points are also locked with "ZERO" Please comment if iam wrong..

Thanks vickyRocks for raising the question again !!!

Mkshah and other helpful members,

How much true is the LOCKING MECHANISM for French proficiency, especially for those who have applied before 5th December or 21th March, whatever the case may be..

If any kind of written declaration or press news in the website or anybody has got written mail in hard copy on the same issue?

If someone has called and somebody has answered in the phone, it will not be a valid argument to rely upon. Isn't it ridiculous !!!

DELF is valid for whole life and it's valid for 2 years in immigration for Quebec.

Consult the ciep website and immigration website, not the agent.

Thanks Hec for highlighting the query..
you are quite right that we should have some genuine proof that applicants French language is locked at the time of Application. Because if it is true than i must tell you many applicants will be in trouble because it is no where written on the BIQ website or any where else that the points are locked..
In nutsheell we need some solid evidence because some one here said that it was told to him when he called the officer at IO...

Seniors or any one please comment.

Dear vickyRocks,
Don't be worry dear if your application is before 6 December 2011 then only age points has to lock other will be open and you can update them if there will be any change (mkshah do me correct if i'm wrong)

[vickyRocks]

Hi Friends,

I just spoke to BIQ, Montreal and they say that your DELF language points are locked at whatever level's certificate you send in the application. So that means you can't update your French score later if you give higher levels of French!!!! This is so frustrating!

If I am applying with 49 points, I am going to have to get full 6 points for adaptability in that case, which is IMPOSSIBLE! I don't understand why they can't give more points for higher levels of French proficiency after applying!

Thankd Javeed,
Yes my application was made in August 2010 but read the previous post of the member which is really alarming.
It says"I just spoke to BIQ, Montreal and they say that your DELF language points are locked at whatever level's certificate you send in the application. So that means you can't update your French score later if you give higher levels of French!!!! This is so frustrating!"

Please comment.

Hi c82, yes hec006 is correct.

Delf diploma is valid for lifetime, but for quebec immigration purpose, it must not be older than 2 years.
