Hi everyone,

I am planning a move to Quebec from Toronto as an international student. I have some questions if someone can please clarify them for me :

- Once I get CSQ, how long does it take to get PR. Are there any restrictions to stay in Quebec after that?

- Is Montreal more expensive to live in comparison to toronto?

- Part time jobs with English only? easy or difficult to find.

Look forward to hear from you.

Regards.

yes you have to stay in quebec until you get PR.

you can find a lot of jobs but if your looking for cashier, customer service type jobs than it can be difficult to find one without french

1. Federal process will take around 13 months. Yes , there are restrictions. When Quebec gives you CSQ , they expect you to stay in Quebec. If you have no plans to settle down in Quebec , then why apply for CSQ ?

2. Montreal is cheaper.

3. If you do not know French then part-time jobs would be difficult.

When applying PR you will sign a paper for intention to live in Quebec.

If you get paycheck in cheque in other provinces your CSQ might be canceled.

You may try getting a cash job in Toronto, but you will still take the risk.

Hi:

I have a question regarding to the immigrant investor program.
If I have the CSQ and my docs has been submitted to Canada Federal. in July 15, 2016. How long does it take to have the immigrant visa which issued by Federal?
Last time, it is normally taken 6 - 12 months to complete this process. However, I read on the internet (CIC website) it will be taken 40 months. Can you please share with me which one is the correct time line?

Thank you so much for your prompt reply.

Best Regards,

I am also coming to Montreal but due to the reason that I really loved the city and plan to live there. I am also currently an international student in toronto and plan to move to montreal after my studies are done. There are lots of jobs available in montreal in my field of study.

According to from my understanding, 1 year exp in montreal + b2 level oral french course from govt approved college is enough to quality for PEQ - Work experience category with priority processing (20 days).
