Hi Forum Members,

Please clarify as Computer Science will be given any Marks in Area Of Training as in the link provided by you www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/domaines-6  I can see computer related professions/degrees but it does not have the corresponding equivalent study in Quebec in the fifth coloumn. Please clarify that what is the meaning of the tick mark in the fifth column Diplôme du Québec (ou equivalent).

Thanks

manibalan,
hope you take this in the right spirit.

Unfortunately, your language scores are very poor and you will get
2+2=4 for English and 0 points for French.
Less than 15 in A1 will fetch you 0 pts. You have to reappear for the A1,but make sure you attend a daily class at Alliance Francaise. It will be better if you can attend some coaching for IELTS too. I assume you;re an Indian and you would have had enough exposure to English. You probably need to get used to the test format and lots of practise. Do that and there are lots of pts that you can take away for Anglais. All the best !

Thank you so much for response...
yes. i am going to re-take the exam again. But consultant (Y-axis) says i have enough points even i got in 0 point in french. 6yrs exp + master degree + migrate with family (wife, kid). currently working in singapore.
but i am afraid to apply with this low level language proficiency. Thanks. i didnt prepare well for DELF / IELTS. Thanks mate.

dont know the specifics of how they calculated your score, maybe its right... but make sure you secure yourself against unwanted surprises. quebec stream as it is, aint transparent. so higher scores are an insurance against rejection. better waste 4-5 months than risk it.

If I decide to apply under QSW and by the time when FSW open in early 2013, still no good news (acceptance) from QSW, can I apply FSW?

The only trouble I have is my bad French

Yes. French is not so easy to clear the exam. they conduct only twice in year. for me, my job not listed in the FSW NOC(Software Developer). thats why i am looking Quebec.

 @ manibalan
same story with me dude

[lemans207]

Its not easy to learn french

& during interview he will tell you that you applied quebec because your NOC not in FSW

since you dont speak french well, you will leave Quebec to Toronto 

Its true... so either make it by high french level B1 or....

Hi Manibalan

I appeared for A1 level exam in Feb 2012 and managed to get the necessary marks (16/25) for both listening and speaking. I advise you to take up AF A1 level course. It will prepare you well for the examination. Learning french is no rocket science...just little bit of practice and developing pronunciation skills...

Start practicing for your exams before a month...use these websites (www.larousse.com) and even google translate sometime (dont depend much on google tranlsate as it translates word to word)

I did this and thought to share this with you...hope this helps..!!

Hi friends

http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/publications/fr/divers/domaines-12-16.pdf

When I went through this list..I was horrified to see the following areas of training carry no weightage:

• Business Administration (U002)
  Accounting and accounting sciences (U024)
  Personnel Management (U073)
  Management and Business Administration (U074)

These are all Masters degree obtained in India after formal education of 16 or 17 years.

Is Gestion de commerces (Business Management – DEC 3 yrs) (U018) equivalent to M.com / BMS in Business Management, which is obtained after 17 years of education in India.

Logically speaking as per new AOT list, M.com in Accounting (U024) does not qualify for any points under AOT whereas M.com in Business Management or BMS qualifies for points under AOT.

I welcome suggestions from other senior members. I hope my interpretation is logical..this new idea of allotment of points under AOT released few days back is very confusing.
