i have a question regarding documents

for obtaining certified true copy of my degree and transcript i went to my college chairperson and got the photocopy of my transcripts and degree certified i.e he wrote certified as true to original bla bla bla...

is it acceptable or i need to get original set of transcripts issued from registrar

also regarding my birth certificate the local births office says they can issue multiple originals but wouldn't certify the photocopy of these original birth certificates

plz hlp

The certified copy will be acceptable, it is part of their request to have copies certified/notarized by the issuing body, that of the birth certificate would be even better if you can get another original copy to use for your application.

Cheers

Hi spaniard

If your MBA is a masters degree (taking your formal education to 16 or 17 years) than you are awarded 12 points for Education.

Is your duration for B.com 2 or 3 years? What is your specialization in B.com (accounting, management etc).

Dear neravik,

First of all thank you for your time. I have done B.Com (Bachelors of Commerce-subjects: commerce) duration 2 years, after that i have done Post Graduate Diploma (Sub: Cost Accounting & Management) duration 1 year, after that i did MBA (Majors:Finance) duration 2 years. Total year of education is now 17 years.

Can you please fully evaluate me. Thank you!

Regards,

My Naija Friend.

Pls where can i take the french test in Lagos?

[Liss]

 @ ngozi2007,

The french tests can be taken at Alliance Francaise, Yaba. DELF/DALF tests are usually done in June and December. But TEF/TEFAQ/TCF are done at different intervals within the year.

I also believe that the French Village, Badagry Lagos also has the authority to do the tests. You can check out both institutions.

you mean that the interview will be in 2 months from now?

Hello Tawa,

Congragulations on the Interview Wait List.  I'm also awaiting my interview in NY. I guess you should have your Interview within the next 2 months.

I believe you applied in July 2011? I applied in Sept 2011 and received the AOR in Oct 2011. From your post, it seems that the dates arep rogressing for the CSQ processing

[shootingstar]

Hi Everyone,

I applied for PR (skilled worker) and received my AOR in March, waiting for the next step. In the mean time i am thinking of taking up a Masters or Diploma course in France or Quebec. I am considering studying in Quebec as a priority first but studying in Quebec is proving to be a more expensive affair than France.

Ideally i would like to study in French but i just cleared A1 and my skills are not enough to complete an entire Masters course in french.

My question is would it hurt my PR process if i choose to do my masters in English in Quebec ( There are few English universities in Montreal ) ? Will this affect my application in anyway at all ? If so How ?

Thanks in Advance !

doesn't matter. There are English Universities in Quebec and so obviously we are expected to enrol. Moreover, Quebec and Canada does a faster PR processing for those who have studied in Canada.
Go ahead with your plan. In my opinion, studying in Quebec will be more useful to you than studying in France(assuming that you eventually plan to immigrate to Canada andn ot France).

Hi everybody,

    I have applied for CSQ ( 1 year + ago) and I have recently passed the interview in New York and I got my CSQ. Now basically I need to apply for the Federal Government. I would appreciate if somebody who has already got the CSQ and applied for the federal part of the process could help me out that would be great. Basically my doubts are, where should I send my application to? Nova Scotia? Buffalo is closed right? also the main question is, what exactly do I need to send with the application? which forms? do I need to send any supporting document at all ( I already sent/showed them to the CSQ officer , should I send any document again)? Which documents? Another question is can I move abroad from the US once I submit my application with the Federal Government ( could they send the response, to another country)?

 Thanks for your help, any help will be deeply appreciated,

Bill

Bill, congrats on the CSQ. You could try the other sub-forum for discussions on Federal Processing. Here is the link to one such thread http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/federal-application-for-quebec-workers-from-buffalo-usa-t50097.0.html

Would you be willing to give us some information on the timelines and some pointers on the CSQ Interview? A few of us here are in line for an Interview sometime this year or early next year.

I am awaiting my Interview in NY and it is 11 months since I applied, so fingers crossed!

Good Luck to You.

you mean that the interview will be in 2 months from now?

That should add up to about 3 months for the interview proper, mind you it is just an estimate from my own experience.

Hello 4glory and sharptooth,

Does this mean that I can just give original copies of transcripts, birth certificates, etc.. instead of certified ones? I had my schooling in another country and now I am back in my home country so it's going to be hard for me to ask them to give me certified copies. I do, however, have requested numerous original transcripts before, so I can give one of those away.  The same is true for my birth certificate --- I have originals handy.  As for diplomas, is it ok to just have them notarized instead of certified?  Thanks in advance for the information.

 @ All,could you believe that MICC has not thought it fit to appoint interview mission for Subsaharan Africa since June 2012 and they are comfortable mass of backlog of applications from this region since December 2010(according to update on their website on processing delay).

I suspect this is part of the reasons they are giving adequate points for priority applications since they wuld be unable to conduct interviews in the event that such is required.

Hope some of them are reading,please we beg of you go ahead and appoint interview mission for Subsaharan Africa and desist from further delay of our applications.

Thank you and God bless.
