Guys, I have a question. I'm slight confused.

So they are no longer accepting new FEDERAL skilled Worker Applications, but does that apply to those who have a selection certificate too or is it just for the normal Federal Skilled Worker program (the one with NOC occupation list)? For example: What happens if say by November 2012, someone gets their selection certificate (given they applied for it a few months ago), does that mean that person has to wait until July 2013 to make a formal application for the Federal Application or can they still send their application? 

Basically does the new "temporary freeze on immigration applications" law apply to Quebec Skilled Worker program too or just the normal Federal Skilled Worker Program?

It's only for the people applying at the federal level program with qualifying occupation ,someone selected by Quebec is not affected for the federal part .

Hi all,

I'm a software engineer working in New Jersey, USA and applied for Quebec CSQ in Sept. 2011. I received my notification (AOR) in Nov. 2011 and am waiting for interview. I want to connect with other applicants to motivate each other for French and other aspects of interview preparation. I have made my email address public in my profile.

At present I'm using Rosetta Stone total 4E course to prepare myself for French.

What do you guys think about new rules that came in effect on June 29th, 2012. Do you think clearing TEFAQ is important for us?...I know for Pre- Dec 2011 applicants it isn't officially required to clear french exams but do you think the level of French proficiency required is going to be higher now? I plan to clear at least around A2 level - by clearing TEFAQ exam. I can say some sentences and understand some and also beginning knowledge of grammar, but much work ahead is needed. I also took A1 101 French course at alliance francaise New York.

Please share your experiences and let's connect via email (See my profile) to motivate each other.

Thanks
Rahul

The freeze is clearly for FSW, anybody that has CSQ or obtains CSQ at a later time can certainly apply for their Federal process as soon as they are ready.

4Glory and Patriots1700,

Thanks for your replies. I'm relieved now that both of you have confirmed that it doesn't apply to QSW.

Hello All,

I am Geeta, we are living in USA, we applied for Quebec PR last year APR 2011. After all, we got the letter yesterday saying the below. I really do not know anything about the French, so used google translator to convert the letter in French to English. I am pasting the content below (RED) (Green)

My questions are:
Will they call us for the interview in next couple of weeks/months?
I am working as a software engineer, i am not sure what is the best way to learn French?
Will they ask us for the proof of french learning OR will they ONLY care about our proficiency and fluency in French?
What happens if i cannot answer the questions well enough in FRENCH?

Please please answer my questions.

Hello

They will expect you to speak fluent french during the interview. So you need to learn French as much as you can and practice a lot before you are called for the interview. The whole thing from start to finish will be conducted in French.

It was in my case.

Cheers

Shanks

With the new form of update on the page www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/informations/applications-receipt.html I wonder if they will still update us on the number of application received.

The update on the page is not really new information from what they told us months ago. I wonder if this not a way to just keep the page like it is and not tell us the about the number of applications received month to month.
