QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[javeedislam]

Hi,
I am new to the forum and I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I applied for CDS to Quebec at Paris Office. I live in the UK. Two weeks ago, I received a letter stating that I am now on the waiting list for an interview. Do you know how long it takes between receiving this letter and receiving an invitation for an interview.
Also, when you receive an invitation for interview how much time in advance they notify you?
I need a visa to travel to Paris and this information will be extremely helpful so I can plan my trip.
I called the bureau in Paris and they refused to give me any information  . They said I will receive an email when the interview date is set.
Thank you very much guys and good luck to you all! 

Hi Lhabash,

Congratz for selection, normally they take around 1 or 2 months for interview after receiving this email.

hi javeedislam,
It does not have any info about updation of language proficiency results at the later date, even if language test results are attached with initial application.
Neither your email also specifies this point clearly.

Still, we have not got any clarity about whether updation of language proficiency results at the later date will give higher points to applicant or not.

This reply from them tells only about the rule of mandatory submission of language certificates.

HI GUYS,

Few days back a query was there in this forum related to update the French language today I receive a response from BIQ HK.

Dear Sir,

I received my AOR in XXXXXX 2011, at that time my french was not that much good so claim 0 points for my french later on I take admission in Alliance Francis for improving my french Today I got my DELF certificate
in which I got B1 in both (speaking and listening).

My question is that now how can I claim points what is the procedure for points claiming as well as how many points I will get for B1 Level french.

An early reply will be highly appreciate.

Many thanks in advance

[hec006]

Thanks dear...and what about DELF, we need to send original diploma certificate or just original marksheet (which was provided first with AF seal).
If we sent original certificate then what to do in future? i mean this is not like IELTS that we can appear again, this is diploma course..so what to do?

Don't send original certificate anywhere. If it is DELF attestation certificate. Then you can send original. But, for other certificates, send notorized copy or copy attested by issuing authority.

Friends,

Document checklist says CERTIFIED TRUE COPY of TRANSCRIPT

But college has given me 5 original TRANSCRIPTS for my degree

So should I send the original TRANSCRIPT or a xerox copy attested by the college registrar as certified true?

Please advise, thanks.

hey mkshah,

1. its not neccessary for them to land together.
2. the pa can land first and the dependent can land later before the expiry of her visa. i think its not possible for the dependent to land first. the other way is possible.
3. pregnancy has no effect on the application process. during medicals it should be notified that the person is preggy and cannot do the xray. childbirth brings some complications to the application as you'd be aware.

Hello,

I had a question on your point about "childbirth brings some complications to the application as you'd be aware".
What kind of complications would arise? if you have already received CSQ before pregnancy, would you have to re-file? Also how will it affect the federal process?

Thanks,
Harsha

here is some part of this above post by egrace62:

getting pregnant is a good thing but for we Quebec applicant, pregnancy, wedding, childbirth, can really elongate our processing time to a great deal. if the pregnancy can b delivered before the issuance of ones CSQ, it is still better cos the impact will b very very minimal. The most painful will b pregnancy during the federal stage. it is so bcos, such an applicant will not be able to do the medical( in most cases the pregnant applicant dont inform officials of their pregnancy, but the DMP have as one of their rules not to perform xray exam to pregnant women, they will b asked to come back for the xray after delivery) hence the file will remain stagnant and after delivery, such applicant will now have to go back to BIQ so that the ponts can b recalculated and the new baby added to the CSQ and this can b time consuming. But were it to be for those applying for federal;l Skill;led worker category baby delivery does not hinder or delay only pregnancy does.

 @  nevillek,
As some member suggested in previous posts that Transcript are Certified True Copy of your grades and CPA.

You must attach one of those 5 original transcripts given to you by your college.

Hello MKshah,

At the federal stage, if the Conjoint applicant is pregnant then at that time only the primary applicant can proceed for federal process alone and get the visa & land in Quebec? After the delivery, Baby (after getting the CSQ) + conjoint application may proceed for the federal?

[mkshah]

hi hec006,
Dependent cannot apply alone. He/she must be included in the application of principal applicant.

So, it will not be possible as you asked.

Other members pls comment on my views.

Dear all,

I have very critical question.

In My BCA degree Certificate Mentioned name is BHUVA VISHAL CHANDUBHAI but in Master degree certificate Mentioned name is Bhuva VishalKumar Chandulal.

Is there any problem while I put the application for Quebec?

Please Replay ASAP becuase I am preparing the document for application.

Hi vishal,
I become really sad when I see such mistakes by people especially we, indian people didnt bother about such important things such as correct name, correct date of birth and other details in very important documents like passport, birth certificate, degree certificates, marksheets etc.

Now, tell me one thing, have you completed both of this courses from the same college/university?
Also why this error happenned, because addition of "kumar" in name will change the entire person. It may be taken as a different person.
Also there is a mistake in your father's name.
If possible, provide some other proof of the same name which you have mentioned in your application and get the letter from the university that your name is mentioned differently but your are the same person with name in another degree certi.

[buzzowski]

Hi buzzowski,
It is ok if you didnt get transcripts in envelope.
You can attach this transcripts without envelope.

Thank you for your answer..  I have another problem.. My spouse is physics teacher, she graduated in one city and she works in another city, today she went to her faculty to ask for certified true copy of her diploma and she got the copy with the statement and faculty seal but the person who should sign it (the secretary) is not there, she is on vacation (believe it or not) and nobody knows when she is going to come back.. They said that she comes once a week to sign the documents but since my spouse is in another city and working, it is difficult for her to guess when the secretary will be there... and we are in a hurry to submit our application. So now she has notarized copy of her diploma and this one - sealed but not signed one... What do you think is better to submit? Thank you all

[nevillek]

Thanks mkshahji.

Did you attach transcripts in envelope or without? Checklist doesn't say anything about that.

Thanks a lot mkshah for the reply.
