Quebec Immigration - Skilled Worker Program

[caroljo]

Hi guys,

I need some assistance on these few below questions.

I graduated with a bsc in social science (specialization in Psychology) and a master of business (human resource management).
I read that most probably i won't be able to collect any points for the training except 12 pts for the master. Am i correct on this?

Even if both studies have been conducted in English (postgraduate in Australia), do i still need to go for IELTS?

How difficult is the french test TEF for Quebec? How many correct answers do u need to score out of 30 questions to be able to get the maximum pts? Is there any website to see some sample questions?

Thanks heaps.

same here joidiple, I'm also having problems taking french classes as it is only available in cebu and manila, classes usually good for 2 - 6 months for us to pass the exam, I have contacted online tutors but I'm not confident if it will be really beneficial to me and they cost more than the usual classes

also I'm holding off my application yet as I'm a self employed applicant and have read that they usually don't count experience in those areas, if that is the case, I will be short of points, plus they said that children and finance points is not counted as well on initial assessment, so it means that I should reach 57 just for education, experience, age, spouse and language.

I'm just confused then as David Cohen assessed me to be eligible, so I guess I won't submit yet considering that the fee is not refundable even on initial assessment, total fees for us as a family of 5 is around $1k.

Anyone please share your views about my concern, thanks

hello guys, i might sound repetitive, but could someone enlighten my unclear comprehension about the requirements in QSW specifically the requirements in the french language. why is it that if someone try to complete the PEI (evaluation) and he choose NO NOTHING about the french language, the result will still be positive. and everyone here in the forum says french is a must. it should always been a negative result whenever you try the evaluation without choosing at least the first level of the basic french language.

Thanks for the reply.
My spouse had her Master in 2005. You will 3 points for her degree.

Will there be interview?  not nessarry , but lot of peoples got their csq with interview
How long does the processing takes? It depends upon case to case but at least 12-18 months

Thanks

Also, my in my Education you gave 12 + 6, what is the 6 for?

Thank you

Schooling : Level of Education = Maximum 12 Points or Schooling :Quebec Diploma=Maximum 6 Points
Schooling(Level of Education or Quebec Diploma) = Maximum 12 Points
Areas of Training = Maximum 16 Points

Schooling(Level of Education or Quebec Diploma) +    Areas of Training = Total Education Points
Schooling(Max 12 points or Max 6) + Areas of Training(Max 16 points) = Max 28 points
Schooling(Maximum 12 points) +    Areas of Training(Maximum 16 points) = Maximum 28 points

Hi Everyone,


I have Applied for the Quebec Immigration process and got my File number on March 22nd 2011. I scored around 55 inclusing 4 point on adaptability.

Educational Level : 10
Area of Training : 6
Professional exp : 6
Age : 16
French : 6
English :6
Financial Self Sufficiency : 1
That makes it to 51
Including adaptabilty 4 point makes it to 55

My concern here is French. I am learning french from Alliance francaise. Its going on well but getting tougher. Am mainly concentraing on oral expression.
Incase if the do not write Delf or do not clear Delf exam and manage to attend 320 hours of french which is Level 2 ie A2 where in the institute will provide a participation certificate that i have successfully completed the course and attended the no of hours. Will i still get a call for the interview if Delf exams are not written as i have claimed 6 pints to it.
Bcoz speaking in french is manageable than clearing the Delf papers as it incluses written, oral, listening sections and need to score above 10 in all sections.

As per the blogs and  website details the interview may be scheduled comming Nov or Dec 2011

Am worried as money and  time is at stake.


A reply would be highly appreciated.


Thanks in Advance
Thomas

Just as French is not mandatory but applicants MAY get rejected if they don't know French inspite of meeting the minimum points requirement, can applicants get rejected for having very little work experience (6-7 months) even if they're fulfilling all other conditions and meeting the minimum points requirement? Should the candidate prefer to work a little more or then apply, or apply right away? Anyone has any specific info on this?

Secondly, if the medium of instruction throughout one's education has been English, would giving IELTS have any advantage, such as fast-track the CSQ application or something? Or would DELF A2 certificates for French be good enough to fast-track the application?

Also, **spam**s are refusing to file an application with just 6 months work experience although I am having 50 points with 6 months work ex which is beyond the minimum of 49 because according to them, the Quebec authorities can't really do a proper background check with so little work experience and my application would probably get rejected. Now this is confusing me, because I had a different response to this query on the forums.
