QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[OsamaR]

Thank you very much applicante.ph & francaise for your feedback..

I will keep taking french courses till I get the time of the interview, and hopefully by reaching level 5 at alliance France that would be equivalent to level 5 in the application form...

[mkshah]

hi osama,
dont worry much friend,

As per your timeline, you have sent your file just 10-12 days ago, and looking at the flow of applications received by BIQ HK in recent months, it will take at least 2 months for your AOR and more than 6-8 months for interview (some are saying that now this time will be about 12 months). so you have ample of time to learn french and take exams to reach the mentioned level by you in your application.

It is very good to join in crash course / fast course of AF as you will be finishing levels very quick and also you will be able to take exams. For your info, if you are in India, next exam dates of A1/A2 will fall in Feb 2012 (13th and 14th Feb), and good news is that you can take both the exams simultaneously..

so my advice to you is that no to worry much about your level you mentioned in application, but to learn french and clear exams ( I am sure with intensive study, surely you can reach to B1 level within 12 months).

hi indian_guy,
pls can you share, why you are telling that your points for AOT is zero..

is your edu and your work exp is different, or is your degree is older than 5 years...

if your degree is older than 5 years, but you have worked atleast for 1 year in a job related to your education, then surely you will get points for AOT.

if you can share, pls give details of your education and your work experience in last 5 years. This will help to understand your points calculation better.

The points for my area of training is 0 .

Please suggest me

 @ for those who haven't received AOR yet...

"The date of receipt of application is the date entered (buffered) by
the MICC on the Application for Selection Certificate (DCS) at the time of
receipt of the request. In addition, to be considered as having been received
by the MICC, the DCS must be duly completed, signed and accompanied by the fee
due."

so if your AOR is dated after Dec, 5, 2011... you are required to submit language exams

Hello friends

With this new points system for language proficiency introduced, can I file my application without the test results now (I havent appeared for DELF A1 or ILTES as of now). My total points along with my spouse without french and english as of now are 45.

Can I tell the immigration authorities in my application that I would be submitting the results later during the interview, since I am in the process of learning french right now.

[mkshah]

oh yes... I missed to see your VO in your timeline, but surely I wish you will reach to the required level by the time till your interview

Thank you mkshah for your advice.. My visa office is actually Montreal which I believe would take quite some time to get the AOR and then the interview..
Hopefully by then I will be able reach the required level inshallah

Dear Friend, I am afraid, this will not be possible now with the new rules in effect. Pls see the notice below which is published on quebec immigration website

Link: : http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/informations/note-language-skills.html

Coming into force of the mandatory use of language proficiency tests
Effective December 6, 2011, all new candidates from the skilled worker subcategory who wish to obtain points in the selection grid for their French proficiency (applicants and spouses) and English proficiency (applicants only) must enclose with their immigration application attestations of results recognized by the Ministère. Children accompanying their parents are exempt from this new requirement.

In addition to optimizing the Ministère's selection practices, standardized tests ensure that the evaluation of candidates for their French and English proficiency is accurate, consistent and fair.

Effective December 6, 2011, the results of language competency tests recognized by the Ministère are the only language proficiency evaluation tool used for immigration candidates who submit an Application for Selection Certificate. Candidates who do not wish to submit an attestation of results recognized by the Ministère must specify this in the Application for Selection Certificate by marking the appropriate box on the form. They will not obtain any points for the language proficiency criterion.

niravk,

You need 57 points to apply as married, so you still need 12 more points.

Hello members

I have done my graduation in commerce (B.com) from Mumbai university. This was a three year integrated course wherein I learnt management subjects like Business economics, Business law, accounting, human resource management, commerce and few aspects of marketing. (I think these subjects are all releveant to management course)

Can I claim 12 points under Section B of the Training list - College Level Technical Training - "Business Management (DCS 3 yrs)"

HI APPLICANTE,

you mentioned before that you hve no plans in taking any french exam right?
 I believe all applicants who havent been interviewed yet, must take the exam... I read from the other thread , the consulate (as what the applicant termed ) was  "angry" because he havent got any french results,(he was interview last 2 days ago i think) and told him he speaks basic french only ... that means that applicant had his AOR for many months ago, and still the consul is trying to apply the new policy during his interview.. so maybe, this will be applicable to applicants who are to  be interviewd yet.

[titov]

That means I shud submit my french results along with the application ? , I am pretty sure I will get good score in IELTS , but french , im starting to learn only. Is it ok , if I satisfy my points with my IELTS score itself ?
