I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but my CSQ request was DENIED!!!!!! Bummer, bummer, bummer, bummer :- (Sorry dear friend, lets quickly run through your file and determine if there is possibility of a postive administrative review)

I didn't score enough points. (let us know your total points) They didn't award me any points for working experience, although I have over 5 years, professional working experience. They did not specify why they didn't award me any points. It said somewhere on the letter that the skill level should be above "D". And I for sure meet and exceed that skill level (Are you sure of this claim? Did you compare you duties with a related job title on the hrsdc website? You will earn points here even if you are underqualified for the position but not when you are overqualified.. Just to inform you I provided all work certificates including employment contracts, tax contributions, pay stubs, you name it!

Secondly, I applied with two diplomas - Bachelor of Science in Biology and Diploma in Pharmacy Technician. They gave me 10/12 points for my bachelor's education. Diploma in Pharmacy Technician is under the "2009 list of training areas" so I should have scored 12/16 points - Are you sure your diploma is an exact match of the one offered in Quebec? How long did it take you to obtain this diploma? Did you submit your transcript? This is very important as your transcript will be compared against that of a similar diploma (if any) in Quebec. They did not award me any points for this diploma - i sincerely feel the diploma you provided is not related to theirs and that was why they decided to work with your degree. I'm thinking that they only looked at the "higher" degree. - yea that was exactly what they did ... they will automatically evaluate the area of training that will give you most points, in this case Biology as we can deduce from the result.

So, I have the option of requesting administrative review of my file if I believe that an error was made. I would like some explanation as of why they did not consider my work experience or diploma in Pharmacy Tech before I consider reapplying in the future.


I have been working for an NGO as a program coordinator and program manager for the last 5 years. - It is really strange that you were not awarded full points for experience as managerial job is of course not below skill level D and also the area of experience must not be directly related to your area of training for you to earn marks here unless they did what they did because they could not find a close match of your line of duties on the NOC database ... it beats my imagination really!

Sorry, that I have to share this news but it may help some of you. If you have any insight as to why they didn't award these points, please let me know.

Kindly clear the grey areas highlighted above and revert. I strongly believe you should be able to file a successful administrative review.

Good luck

The diploma was obviously not considered. Most likely the equivalent in Quebec would give you less points than Biology and that was why they considered your degree instead.

You need to convince them that your diploma is equivalent to Pharmacy Technology Diploma in Quebec and that way you can earn your full points for area of Training. You do not even need to show any related experience in this area since the diploma was obtained less than five years ago.

As for experience, i believe you should be able to claim your points easily. You only need to write a strongly worded cover letter with very valid points and also include all possible work documents including but not limited to Pay slip, Salary account statement, Social Insurance contribution history, letter of employment, letter of reference from your employer etc

Good luck

Thanks.
I received my diploma in 2010 and it should be related to the “Pharmacy Technical Assistant”. I received this diploma in the USA. i provided my diploma and transcripts.

These are the comments they made on area of training for my Biology degree:

Domaine de formation: aucun point accorde a ce critere sur une possibilite de 16 pts. La candidate n'a pas travaille dans Ie secteur de la biologie au cours des cinq dernieres annees.

If they considered my pharm diploma, they would have commented on why it was not recognized. Which makes me believe that they only look at one diploma.

Hello friends..

I am an Indian Resident and m planning for Quebec PR. I have completed my B.Com Degree and also M.Com (Part I) and wanting for results of M.Com (Part II), I have also done software course(GNIIT) along with my graduation, from a private institution NIIT.

I have been working with a navigation Company since last 2 years as Geographic Technician (GIS) (viz totaly unrelated from What I studied)

Don't know what to Do Plz help...

One slight correction, in you original post you indicated that you received the following points for education and area of training: 10/12. If you check the Quebec Immigration page carefully you will find the 2009 list of Areas of Training that qualify for immigration purposes. However you will also find a 2009 PREFERRED list of areas of training. Biology is not on the PREFERRED areas of training but it is in the list of areas of training with a score of 6 points.

Pharmaceutical Technicians is on the PREFERRED list with a score of 12 points. So, apparently your application was indeed reviewed correctly with this degree. The problems seems that the work experience is not related to this area of training, therefore you can't claim any points for it - This is obviously not correct as you can claim points for experience whether it is related to your area of training or not. The only clause is that it must be a skill level above D on NOC classification scale and also the worker must not be over qualified for the position but the worker can be underqualified. Always get your facts right before posting to avoid confusing others that may be reading.

Hope this helps.

If you have received your AOR then it may take 1-2 months to be informed if anything is missing, In case everything is complete and your file doesn't have any problem it may take very long time now to be informed about place or date of interview or application is in queue. In my case it has already taken nearly 10 months but still nothing.

Good luck
