And how the language skills are measured ?
I am not very fluent in French .... is knowledge of French is mandatory.
And how it is measured?

Since you will be immigrating to Quebec, no need to worry about the NOC list found on CIC website. The website posted above by ja77 is the right one, browse through it, download application forms and prepare them. The website has detailed instruction for all the procedure.

Yes this is the reason why I am thinking about applying for Quebec.
But I am a little worried about French. Does it mandatory ? And how the knowledge of french is measured ?

Thank you all for your help and comments !!!

I think French is mandatory but do not take it for confirmed. I have forgot about it, but anyways, you can take french courses and apply, I'm sure it will work. Do you know a little bit of French? if yes then don't worry it will work out. When I applied for Quebec, they didn't ask me for interview and I got the CSQ (currently waiting for medical test for the Permanent Visa). But I did send them french language certificates I did in my country, called DALF (Diplome Approfondi en Langue Francaise). Don't worry I'm sure you will get clear answers on that matter and I'm sure that if you take some courses it's not gonna be a problem.

Thanks very much tonyelbatal,

I have already registered for 3 month intensive French courses (120 hours).
Hope it will work for me.
Bad thing is that I will have to wait 3 months to apply.
Also is it possible to apply for 2 programs simultaneously ?
I mean can I apply FSW and Quebec program at the same time.
At least if I will get positive answer for anyone of them I will be very happy.
Because I am a co-founder of IT company to which I can register as an IS Manager and may be it will work.
But if even it will not work I would be glad for Quebec program also :).

So as I understand there are no certain requirements for French as for example IELTS for the English.
If I don't know French at all and after passing official French course for 120 hour organized by French embassy will it figure out ?

[tonyelbatal]

What is sure is that Quebec won't ask you to pass a specific french test like the one you stated for English. Also Quebec processing times are faster than FSW as far as I know. Check processing times on CIC website to compare. Don't wait till you finish your courses to submit your Quebec application, but instead do it now, you will gain 3 months! It will take time anyway, so you will have acquired some French knowledge meanwhile. In the Quebec application, they ask you for how much you're good in french. You can state that you are intermediate. Don't worry, it won't affect your application much, if you have work experience (give them proofs that you have work experience in a given field). When you will get your CSQ (Quebec Certificate of Selection) then you would have done it! Then you apply for Permanent Resident VISA, which is much like FSW but without anything concerning the NOC since you got your Quebec acceptance. So you just wait after that till they ask for medical tests than hopefully stamp the VISA on your passport.

Hope I was able to share my experience with you. I know how someone can feel bad and frustrated sometimes, that's why I am doing my best to help you. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi Incognito,

It depends on your luck whether your 120 hours of french class is good enough to obtain the CSQ. I know some people who has a certificate to prove that they have over 500 hours of study of french course and he also had proof that his french proficient is at university leavel but still required to go to the interview. Of course, he got his CSQ in the end as his french is really good.

Still continue to do your course and as a matter of fact, they dont expect your french to be very good, and  being average is normally good enough to them

You can check your score on their self assessment.  The Quebec immigration website is posted somehwere above.  It's hard to qualify without French though.
