Hello, This is Atif, Im planning for Quebec Skilled worker immigration. I've some questions as follows;

1. I studied my B.S Civil Engineering degree (4 year - Bachelor) outside Quebec (in Pakistan). So, my degree definitely consider as foriegn degree.

If we see the List of preferred areas of training/occupation at Quebec immigration official website,
(reference link = www(dot)immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/publications/en/diverses/summary-table-areas.pdf).
they divided areas of training into two catagories 1st is Foriegn degree and 2nd is Quebec or Equivalent degree. My case fall under 5. Applied Science - Civil, Construction and Transportation Engineering (Bach. - 4 years).

Now, problem is that this area of training does fall under Priority Treatment column for Quebec/Equivalent degree but not for Foriegn Degree. At all the places quebec immi officials use a word of Quebec/Equivalent degree . It isn't possible to make equivalency document/certificate from comparative evaluation for studies done outside Québec (ref link = www(dot)immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/education/comparative-evaluation/index.html) to make my foriegn degree equivalent to Quebec degree to get a place under Priority Treament ?


2. Is B.S Civil Engineering (4 Years - Bachelors) equivalent to Civil Engineering Technology (DCS - 3 years) ?. Actually Civil Engineering Technology (DCS - 3 years) fall under Priority treament column for foriegn degree.

3. Is it really compulsory or neccessary to hire a lawyer or immi. consultant to put my case for QSW ?


Senior and experianced members are most welcome to comments here...

Thanks n Great Regards
Engr.Atif

atif

you must have read the page http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/education/comparative-evaluation/index.html. it specifies the conditions under which u should go for comparative evlautaion. also it outlines the time req for this activity.

what i would advise you is serach the contents of Civil Engineering Technology (DCS - 3 years) on internet, and compare it with what you have studied. if they are same, then take the online evaluation on quebec website. if its also positive, then simply file ur application.

it is NO WAY necessary to hire someone :) we all have applied on our own.. go for it and you can take our services for FREE :) all the forum members are here to help. just for reward, we will take a party from you ;) LOLZZZZ

regards

I've read all about quebec bachelor degree under university education system and I concluded that my degree (B.S Civil Engineering) is equivalent to Quebec degree. (Ref link = www(dot)immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/publications/en/evaluation/fiche7.pdf)

But it isn't better to evaluate my degree/credentials by quebec immi. office to get equivalency certificate/document to make my degree equivalent to Quebec degree prior to apply QSW immigration ?. I'm asking this, just to avoid any expected delay/objection in future.

What you ppl suggest me ?,

Great prays for all

Anybody have some rough idea that how long the time for comparative evaluation for studies done outside Québec,

They only mentioned that applicant's file will be open within 15 days,
