QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[qsw]

 

HeLlo guys. Just to share the news. - passed my interview yesterday at biq paris. It was very easy and the interviewer told me he was so impressed by my organisation skills, my knowledge and the fact that i spoke both french and english. He told me i scored full mark on french, english and adaptability. I will put a resume of my interview.
Thanks to all members. Although i never asked any questions, i read this forum everyday, look at answers and go with my own gut, opinions and research. So now - am getting ready for the visa process

anyone in here from UK ? Request you to pls PM me.
Thanks !

I need your advice


Age:22 (16 points)
Education: Associate degree in Business administration in South Korea (22 points)
Language: IELTS Speaking 6.5/ Listening 8 (5 points)    & French: currently 0 point, but will be taking TEFAQ to earn 2~6points
Stay in Quebec: 2 semesters of full time studies in Quebec (5points)
Financial sufficiency: Yes (1 point)
Total: 49 points

I am exactly at 49 points, the cut off points and I am wondering if it is wise to apply now or wait until I get my french test score (A1~A2) to be more safe? I will keep studying french during CSQ process. Need some advice!!  I don't want to wait too long for french exam because otherwise new rules might come and I won't be able to apply!

hi gryffindorgirl,
yes, this letter is AOR. Contrats girl...

There will be 2 numbers printed on top right side of the letter.

No ref. ind & No. Dossier.
Of this 2 numbers, No. Dossier is your file number.

Now since you have sent your language test results, you must confirm with them about the receipt of these by sending an email to your biq.

Next step will be "waiting" till you get the preliminary review result of your file followed by CSQ or Interview for CSQ.

Hope this helps.

If you have applied to biq HK, then pls update your AOR details in the AOR tracker on below link:

This tracker will help us to understand the time taken till interview. Till now they have processed applications till Oct/Nov-2010 and the data is similar for our forum members.

Hi girl,
Do let us know about their reply to your mail about receipt of test results.
Well, preliminary review is done by BIQ when ur file gets its turn for review by IO.
Here they calculate the overall points scored by applicants and if they need, they send notices for additional requirements within stipulated time frame such as updated language test results should be sent to them within 60 days, or work certificates in original must be submitted within 60 days.
So, in short, preliminary review is the immediate step before interview call.

If you didn't include french test result in your application, can you still update your French test result after submitting your application? Can you gain points from it?
I am really confused... I want to apply asap since their law might change anytime soon.

This is link for processing times of CSQ stage applications for QSW.

it seems that the processing times are freezed for eternity..
Strange thing is that today is 28th-June-2012 and this page is not updated after 11th-May-2012. Almost 7 weeks time period is spent without any update in processing times.

Does anyone has any news/idea about what is going on with QSW???

Since new rules, new applications flow has reduced compared to previous times: so, they can have speedy processing for earlier applications.
But here we are facing a stagnation from their side.
Dont know what is happening with QSW???
