Dear Bachar,

Please contact with Alliance Française in your area for learning French. B1 is upper intermediate level. It's not easy to get that level within few months.

Thanks

Guys anyone  that knows how to count the points using the GPI, can PLEASE help me? I counted 44 points, with no french for both me and my wife, and although the minimum point to pass the first evaluatiuon is 57, I also passed the online test! So please check out my counting of points, im sure I am missing something, just dont know where, but probably its in the spouse field, where I saw only age and education points:


1- Formation: Diplôme d'études universitaires de 1 er cycle sanctionnant 3 ans ou plus d'études à temps plei  -  10  points
2- Expérience: 48 mois (4ans) ou plus – 8 points
3- Âge:  18 ans à 35 an  - 16  points 
4- Connaissances linguistiques:  Compréhension orale 8.5 / Expression orale 8 (advanced ielts)- 3 points
5- Séjour et famille au Québec NON
6- Caractéristiques de l'époux ou du conjoint de fait qui accompagne:
    Formation: 3 points  /  Âge:  3 points / experience ?
7- Offre d'emploi validée NON
8- Enfants NON
9- Capacité d'autonomie financière - 1
10- Adaptabilité – 1 (interview)

Total 44 points, without the interview point

I hope somebody here can help me in this counting! please!

[vibez_well]

Hey Vibez_well,

I have a question. Is there any difference in processing time between Hong Kong/New Delhi and Hong Kong/London candidate? After reviewing many candidate, I think.. there is. But why? BIQ is same in both cases.

[shootingstar]

Did anyone contact his/her BIQ to check on the application status? After my initial AOR, I never received anything. So I'm thinking of sending an e-mail to the BIQ.

*** I will be having my interview in Hongkong on February 9, 2012. I am afraid i am not prepared. Especially about the whole CANADA and the different provinces in Quebec. What would be the most appropriate answer in why choosing to immigrate in canada and why in Quebec??

*** another thing, can someone explain to me the point system in Quebec? You mean, I got 57 points in filing my application since I was called for interview? and How much points more do I need to get during the interview to pass? I have little knowledge of french.. I am so slow when I speak in French and I have limited vocabulary...
