QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[Patriots1700]

Hello, can you please share ur file details ( age, experience, AOT, and other information)  so we can help calculating points
No need for 6 months bank statement, just sign the Contract respecting financial self-sufficiency (A-0522-OA).  , if they need this statement in BIQ the would clearly mention it
I am waiting to members to correct me if i was wrong

Thanks Bachar ...sorry for my late reply.
My details :
Age :33
Education :   Associate Degree (IT)
AOT: computer support
Work experience : More than 10 years (but the consultant says i can only claim for one year working as computer support and system analyst )
Language : Don't have my results yet ( but i am fluent in French and English )
Children : 3 ( 8 ,9,11)

My spouse details:
Age : 33
Education: High school only
Work Experience : None
Language: She's fluent in French and English also.

I have already completed my third year and should be getting my bachelor next year . The consultant we had the interview with says we have a good file but mostly because we are both fluent in French and English and have young kids . ( Our interview was in french and he's from Montreal and said that we will get high points for the French ).My main issue here is that this guy is very expensive and kind of making things sounds so easy , is it something that i can do on my own ? Thanks

Hello misters, I am very confused about what to do with my internship: I really did not do too much of an internship because I did them in the place I was already working and getting payed at the time, so I just kept working and my tutor validated that as my internship..

Now, the document with the requirements asks for work experience and internship separately, what should I do in this situation? Also, my internship attestation is only a photocopy and the university doesnt certificate that document.

Related to this, I have a friend who had his internship but his work certificate looks just like the other work certificates, what should he do?

Thank you

obviously canadian specs !

Hello,
where could you find these specifications on quebec immigration website??

I could not find them. Also we have not written dates on the back of our recent photographs. Can this give some problem??

Thanks
Regards

Thanks yogie. Hope you get interview call very soon. 

Thanks "hec006" for your good wishes but I am afraid that I would be short of 1 point due to this 16/25 rule for French...   well, let's see what's going to happen in the near future and meantime I would try to work out for that 1 point !!!

I think decision is taken b4 each ones interview 

at the end i beleive they want us to immigrate, just show them your good and yolu want to stay in quebec.

language its not important, anyone can learn it in 6 month in Quebec.

just perform well and dont lie.

the interviewer isnt there to bring troubles for us, they want us to pass the interview but we should help him/her to give us points

Bajan, Hec, Jawaed, and other seniors I have a Question please try to answer it....thanks in advance..

I submitted my application in 2010 August and i have indicated zero level of french in my application because i was successful without claiming points for French language through website tool. My question is as i indicated Zero level in French but cleared DELF A1 in 2011 (before dec 2011 rule) and A2 in (March 2012). Under which rule i will be awarded French Langugae points? OR simply they dont give me any point because in my application i showed zero level but updated them with A1 and A2 later..

I will really appreciate every one response...Thank$

Hey Vicky

Dont worry too much....and be optimistic

Firstly, you applied in 2010 so you should be assessed according to the rule at that time.  Initially you claimed zero but later updated them with A1 and A2 respectively, this looks good on you as it shows your desire to learn the language pricipal in Quebec.  So providing you got more than 16 for listening and speaking in A2 you will be given 6 points.

Simply send an update form to your BIQ with the supporting documents, this will change your language ability from zero to approximately level 4

[Bajan4Quebec]

hi seniors,

i'm planning to take A1 this may. i declared beginner 4 in may application which is equivalent to A2. is it ok to update them at a later stage (july 2012) with my new french result after my TEFAQ exam on july?

thanks in advance.

Hey maryr,

As you said you declared level 4 on your application, if you submit the results for A1 you will be marked according to A1 you will not get A2 score.  If i were you I will do A1 in May to get a feel or an idea of the exam....and later in July if the TEFaQ result shows that I am A2 (or even higher level) then I will submit that score.  Reason is you showed A2 so support that claim with evidence first and then move higher, if you show A1 you may risk losing points instead of gaining.

Hey Patriots

Firstly, you can go to this web site to find out which office covers your territory http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/index.html...go to the section where it says "our offices are all over the world."  type the name of your country to determine where you should send your application.

Then, you can go to this link to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions.asp for the address.

You can only apply from the US as the country you legally reside if:

•The country where you legally reside other than as a visitor (tourist) or asylum seeker.
• You must have been legally admitted to this country for a period of at least one year.
• You must be residing in this country at the time of receipt by the immigration office concerned of your application for a selection certificate or your application for a certificate of acceptance.

Yes, the option exists where you can apply stating the country you originated from rather than your host country (USA) but be mindful if you are called for interview you may have to travel back home (or the region that covers your teritory) to the interview

thanks Bajan 4 a motivation pill....
I have sent u a PM kindly check that..

[vickyRocks]

I think decision is taken b4 each ones interview  (And it depends if u are scoring 49 points or not, if notthan rejection)
at the end i beleive they want us to immigrate, just show them your good and yolu want to stay in quebec ( I dont think so they dont want every one to immigrate,only those who can speak french, remember its a french province and they want to keep it french speaking province).
language its not important( it is the key to success, and its is mandatory without it u can not enter), anyone can learn it in 6 month in Quebec.

just perform well and dont lie.

the interviewer isnt there to bring troubles for us(agreed), they want us to pass the interview(not really only for those who can speak french easily) but we should help him/her to give us points

Hey maryr,

As you said you declared level 4 on your application, if you submit the results for A1 you will be marked according to A1 you will not get A2 score.  If i were you I will do A1 in May to get a feel or an idea of the exam....and later in July if the TEFaQ result shows that I am A2 (or even higher level) then I will submit that score.  Reason is you showed A2 so support that claim with evidence first and then move higher, if you show A1 you may risk losing points instead of gaining.

MAryr,

Go for A1 than A2 and TEFAQ after wards..If u update them with A1 u will not be given 4 points..

[maryr]

thank you Bajan4Quebec and VickyRocks.

I will be taking A1 this May 24th and will appear for TEFAQ on July so i can update BIQ with A2 points. I will be sending them my A1 result then update them after taking TEFAQ.

Thanks again.

friends this is conformed the attestation of results given 1 month after delf exam is not acceptable therefore plzz dont rely on your delf attestation for claiming points they will reject it only the official diploma is recognized according to new rules i quote from the immigration handbook used by the immigration officer at the time of awarding poits to an pplicant's file

"Les attestations TEFaQ et TEF antérieures au 1
er
juin 2012 ne comportent pas de résultat < A1. C'est pourquoi il
ne faut pas accorder de points :
- en compréhension orale si le score obtenu à cette épreuve est inférieur à 28 points;
- en expression orale  si le score obtenu à cette épreuve est inférieur à 34 points.
Les relevés de résultats d'une session DELF ou DALF ne sont pas acceptés comme preuve de compétence en français.
Pour  faire  valoir  des  résultats  obtenus  aux  épreuves  du DELF  ou  du DALF,  il  est  nécessaire  de  produire  un
exemplaire de diplôme émis par la Commission nationale du DELF-DALF.



therefore only rely on tef or tefaq results they arrive quick within 20 days
as i carefully read on my attestation result of delf a2 this attestation is done by ambassador which is not accepted they need results approved by commision nationale du delf dalf hich comes after 4-5 months

so plz take tcf or tefaq if you dont have that diploma in your hands yet
as is evident that just 512 applications were accepted this makes it even more clear that the influx of applications is same but that rejection rate has increased due to strict documentation requirements and language proficiency requirements


comments accepted from everyone
thank you
this is the link i am pasting here

The attestation of réussite does come from the Commission nationale du DELF et du DALF.

I believe that 'relevés de résultats' may be referring to the prep classes for DELF or DALF that candidates take before taking the actual exam.

The purpose of the attestation is actually to give candidate quick results, so they can use it for administration reasons (immigration, university, etc. It should bear the same power as the diploma.

I sent my application a couple of days ago with the 'attestation of réussite' with 19.5 for compréhension orale and 22 for expression orale. I would be very surprised if my application is deemed incomplete for not providing the actual diploma.

If you check the GPI-3-1 document, you will also notice that they have a way of checking your results directly, so asking for the diploma would be truly a way of penalizing applicants.

"Au moment de l'examen de la demande, le fonctionnaire à l'immigration s'assure de l'authenticité des résultats indiqués sur les attestations en utilisant les informations disponibles dans les sites sécurisés des fournisseurs (organismes émetteurs). Pour ce faire, il doit avoir préalablement obtenu l'autorisation de son gestionnaire pour accéder aux sites sécurisés de validation."

In any case I will let you know when I hear from them.
