Hello Rim,

What is your application date? Can you please share your profile? such as at what time you have started your job and about your degree completion period etc.

How have u got point in online evaluation system? I think it gives only u have passed or failed.

[dignity3]

yes, my CSQ HAS EXPIRED but I THINK IT'S UP THE EMBASSY TO RENEW IT .. YEAR BY YEAR... THEY ARE REPLYING TO MY EMAILS Saying that "your application is undergoing further background verifications" ...
 
I think there are nothing wrong ... just that lawfims are craps knows nothing and they are just looking for money ...

what do you think ... it's all about "  embassy in Damascus has closed which lead to delay in transferring and further background checks"

if they are not answering your e-mail your can give them a call because after 3 years your CSQ also expires and you have either renew it with in the 3 years time frame or you have to apply for a new CSQ. if your CSQ was issued in 2008 then i think so it should be expired now... !

The Québec education system

Studies completed abroad or in another Canadian province are compared to the main diplomas in the Québec education system. Here is a brief description of the Québec education system and its main diplomas.

In Québec, it is compulsory to attend school between the ages of 6 and 16. Preschool education is optional and available to children of 4 and 5 years of age through kindergarten classes.

Secondary education

After six years at the elementary level, students begin their secondary studies. The duration of these studies is five years for general education and varies for students enrolled in vocational training programs.

The Secondary School Diploma (SSD) marks the successful completion of five years of general studies. It also provides access to higher education.

The Secondary School Vocational Diploma (SSVD) is awarded for study programs lasting an average of 1,350 hours (a year and a half). Training leading towards a SSVD starts after the third, fourth or fifth year of secondary studies, depending on the particular requirements of the program of study.

The Attestation of Vocational Specialization (AVS) is issued after a training period of six or twelve months. Holders of a SSVD can choose from some 50 programs leading to this diploma.

The Attestation of Vocational Education (AVE) is issued after a training period that lasts a maximum of 900 hours. Undertaken after the second year of secondary studies by a student at least 15 years of age, this training program takes place in a company setting and prepares students for semi-skilled occupations.

Higher education

In Québec, higher education includes college- and university-level education.

Collegial education
College is the first stage of higher education. Offered mainly in the public network through general and vocational colleges (known as CÉGEPs for the French designation collège d'enseignement général et professionnel), academic instruction is also available at other institutions such as private colleges.

CÉGEPs and colleges deliver two-year pre-university programs leading to university studies and three-year technical programs that prepare students for the job market while, in some cases, leaving them the option of continuing their studies at the university level.

The diploma of collegial studies (DCS) is awarded for education completed under a pre-university and technical study program. It is also possible to obtain an attestation of collegial studies (ACS) upon completion of 1 to 4 semesters of technical education leading to the job market.

University education
University education is divided into three levels of study.

The first level of university study (undergraduate level) generally leads to a bachelor's degree. This degree is made up of at least 90 credits1, usually completed over three years on a full-time basis. Some programs, most notably education, engineering and medicine, require more credits and take from four to five years. After completing bachelor-level studies, students may enter the job market or continue their studies at the second or third level.

There are different types of bachelor's degrees: a specialized bachelor's degree, a bachelor's degree with a major and minor, and a general bachelor's degree. With a specialized bachelor's degree, each and every course taken focuses on a single discipline or field of study, or on related disciplines or fields of study. A specialized bachelor's degree is made up of 90 credits or more, depending on the program.

A bachelor's degree with a major and minor combines two disciplines. It is made up of:

a major as its main component. A major is a 60-credit program generally completed over two years on a full-time basis, with most courses focused on a single discipline or a single field of study;
a minor as a complementary component. A minor is a 30-credit program generally completed over one year on a full-time basis, with most courses focused on a single discipline or a single field of study.

A student may register at the university to obtain either a diploma or a certificate. A diploma marks the successful completion of a 60-credit program, while a certificate marks the successful completion of a 30-credit program.

A general bachelor's degree combines three 30-credit certificates.

There are two types of second, or graduate, level university programs. A master's degree is issued following completion of a professional master's program referred to as the master's without a thesis or a master's research program referred to as the master's with a thesis. These programs involve specialization in a program of study or an introduction to research in one or several disciplines. A master's program is generally made up of 45 credits and usually takes two years to complete.

The second kind of graduate studies leads to a diploma or certificate. In this case, the program of study is generally made up of 30 credits and takes one year to complete.

The third level of university study introduces students to scientific research and prepares them for a career in research. Students can obtain a doctorate (Ph.D.) after earning at least 90 credits over a minimum of three years of full-time study. They must write and defend a thesis as part of their doctoral studies.

Hi friends,

1) The document 'Application for Selection Certificate' (A-0520-AA) has a 'DECLARATION BY SPOUSE' page at the end, should I print that out as well and leave it empty? I came across a thread where they returned an applicant's file for a problem with this form although he had submitted it. I want to be sure if I'm doing it right. Can someone please advise?

2) In the same 'Application for Selection Certificate' (A-0520-AA), the Residential address field has 'NUMBER', 'STREET' 'APP' ... What is 'APP'? It can't be 'apartement' because there is a double p. Also, as a general rule of thumb, the building/apartement name comes before the street name and that is the order in my passport as well. But here, it's reverse. So should I just ignore that and write the address as per my passport only?

Thanks.
