I  envy you people who got their csq/pr fast and without so many hassles of newrules. Now-a-days the entire process has become very tough and also it takes now almost 18 months to get interview/csq and 6-8 months for PPR. So overall 2-2.5 yrs for getting PR visas under qsw.

Hello All,
I have one querry. After getting citizenship through CSQ, is it possible for one to do higher studies(Masters or Phd) in Quebec or other parts of Canada? OR should apply for FSW3(study visa) also?

[cvd222]

hello friends, I wanted to ask you-

If I have a validated job offer and I don't take the job once I get my PR, what will happen? I'm just asking because I got points for my CSQ through my validated employment.

Just wondering, if in case unexpected things suddenly happen...

Hey mdammalli,

you made a little mistake in your query - you are not offered citizenship via CSQ you are offered permanent residence (PR).  Permanent Residents apply for Citizenship after.  To qualify for citizenship one must spend at least 730 days (2 years) out of 1825 day (5 years).  you will be required to write a citizenship exam at that time and if successful you will be invited to attend a citizenship ceremony some time after.  Just wanted to clarify this mistake that you made in your typing, that CSQ is for PR and not for citizenship.  The difference between a PR and a citizen of Canada is the right to vote.  Citizens can vote PR can't for the time being but all other amentities are available to you as a permanent resident, That is:

Free movement from province to province
Employment
Health care
Schooling
etc.

Which brings me the the second part of your question.  It is encouraged actually for you to go to school to read for a higher degree in Quebec.  The main benefit of this is you will attain a degree that is recognisable in Quebec and by extension all of Canada.  As a result you stand the chance to obtain a higher paying job.  Just a side note it was shared on page 861 in this forum the challenge immigrants have with securing a job in thier field of study.  This is because the degrees we obtain outside of Canada may or may not be equivalent and so persons may have to settle for lower paying jobs.  A sure way to beat this challenge is to return to school and read for a higher degree because it gives you greater marketability for better jobs.  Another reason why it is encouraged to go to school in Quebc is because the tuition fees for persons living in Quebec are much lower than any other province in Canada.  Someone living in Quebec could pay 30% to 50% lesser tuition fees than other universities throughout Canada (by persons living in that province), and I have not began to tell you of the possibility for scholarships etc.

Given these benefits why go anywhere else?!  The remainder of your question as I stated before, once you are granted permanent residence you have free movement to any other province to work or go to school.  A caveat, do not attempt to use Quebec as the back door into Canada...try to make it in Quebec first, document your efforts and if you had no choice but to move to a different province for an opportunity then so be it.  The reason I said this is because if you use Quebec as the backdoor and flee upon landing into another province you may potentially face problems when it comes to seeking citizenship.

I am not sure I understand your last bit, but, I advise you strongly not to apply to the federal level and to Quebec at the same time, this could never look good on you as your intention to reside in Quebec will be in question from day one.  Quebec seeks to select immigrants with a genuine interest to live and work in Quebec to stimulate economic activity in that province.  Applying to both the federal and Quebec together will be to your detriment.

Apply for student visa easier because youll graduate before you get your csq 

second, graduates from quebec should submit their french B2 minimum  for masters (new rules)

I have friend stdying there,

For PHD students 2nd year they can apply directly to PR

Hello,
I just found out about this forum.
My case is really weird. In 2008 I sent an application for CSQ, after a few months I got a letter stating my application will be refused in 90 days if I don't send some supporting documents. Well I sent the documents and till this day I haven't heard a thing from them. It has been more than 4 years. what should I do? I alled the, to Montreal to check whether my application is still in process.the woman there told me she has an application in my name but she doesn't know if it still in process or canceled and she gave me another number to call on Monday.this s really frustrating. I will call them on Monday and tell you what happnes.
Good luck to you alllll.

can u elaborate your education and your french and whether you have applied as a single applicant or accompying spouse?

[mkshah]

To reach A2 level, it usually takes 6-8 months if u study french extensively. About 2-4 hrs study per day.
my suggestion will be to join AF for A1 level intensive course. This will help you to understand the language and learn accent. Once you clear A1, then you can do self-study or take private tutor for A2.

Hope this info will be helpful to you.
