QUEBEC APPLICANTS LETS SHARE EXPERIENCE

[OsamaR]

Hi all,

I have one question regarding this new rule:

"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) ...."

so, is it mandatory for my spouse to submit french proficiency test? No, but it will entitle you to get extra points. is it still possible if only me as principal applicant who submit french proficiency test? since we can pass the required points without any french skill from my spouse. Yes

Thank you

Hello All,

Is missing document is the first letter we get from BIQ or it is AOR? The AOR is the first letter you should receive from BIQ. If we receive AOR first does that mean that all the documents are in place however they have opened the file and is under processing....Please guide !!! I am not sure about this, but I have seen cases where applicants have received the AOR but few month late they received another letter requesting to submit extra documents,

Thank You
Regards

Brad

I did a search on CIC website but couldn't find any form related to RPRF payment.

I am planning to pay for the application and RPRF in one Demand Draft for the whole family i.e( Myself $550 + $490 ) + (Spouse $ 550+ $ 490)=$2080

Please advice, whether they will accept  both payments in one bankers draft or not , if not what's the correct way of doing it ...

cheers

You can do in a one draft. when I was applying I a contacted VO and they said it can be one draft as long as the total amount is correct.

hi guys,

i have a question about when the points for age are awarded. on the instructions document they say on 'depot' of the application which can either translate to 'the receipt of' or 'filing of' application. i am assuming receipt is when the application is received and filing is when your file is opened (getting AOR and file number). so which is which? when do they give the points? according to the date  your application is received or the date  they open your file. any suggestions will be much appreciated. thanks

Hi dez, how r u buddy,
Firstly many many thanks for ur tips on DELF exams. I did well in A1/A2. Hope for clearing both levels.
Now answer to ur query is: depot means "on receipt".
It is considered so, because file may be opened after some period of receipt of file, if there is quite large number of applications are received and then at the time of opening the file, age of applicant might have changed, thus affecting points awarded for age criteria.

Hence, as per my understanding, Depot means "on receipt" of the file and not at the time of opening the file.

Thanks Syed for your response , Did you send the payment for both (Processing & RPRF together)?

Is there any separate form for RPRF? ,or one can make payment using DD(without form) only.I am bit confused because fees form which they have listed on their website doesn't have option for RPRF payment,it's simply asking for processing fees.However guidance notes says . ''We strongly recommend paying the Right of Permanent Residence Fee along with your processing fees. By doing so, it will reduce the processing time of your application''.

I made payment for all at once. as I paid using canada postal and the max we can take is $999 for each check. so i had to make take multiple postal checks. You do not have to fill any form. just total the amount and take the DD. that should be OK....

Though even an A1 would have been sufficient.. Due to some misunderstanding earlier on I mention A2 on my application..  So I need to do A2 now.. I'm learning French from a local institute since Oct.. I did not join AF because I thought they may not give enough flexibility on timing and schedule...
