Just a small correction, you apply for CAQ (temporary) at MIFI (Quebec), not CSQ (permanent).

Hello,
The form A-2700-CF - sample contract from MIDI site is not filling - I can not print in it. Does it mean it has to be filled by hand?

You can write on it if you download it and open it with adobe acrobat (not acrobat reader) and then you add text to it.
I think that you can also do it by hand. It doesn't specify.

Thank you very much for sharing your valuable experience.
I found an employer in Quebec(my NOC is on the demanded job list) and he wants to fill out the 5626 form. Do you have any idea how to fill out section 8? (regarding the recruitment advertisement) if he checks "yes" the first question, will the other parts leave blank? that would be kind of you if you could help me with this issue.

Hey, that's great news!
A few days ago I got my positive LMIA actually. the whole process lasted a month.
If your job cod is on the list you don't have to fill that section
Just wright

THE JOB CODE RELEVANT TO THIS JOB IS 5626 WHICH FALLS UNDER THE LIST OF JOBS ELIGIBLE FOR THE FACILITATED PROCESS WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED BY QUEBEC

and nothing else regarding the section 8

Hello, I have a question about QC simplified LMIAs.
Transition plan is not needed if its the 1st LMIA app-n request for the same occupation.
The employer applies in one application for two workers in the same occupation.
Is this considered 1st application or since there is a 2nd worker it is two applications so we need the transition plan?

Hi,
I believe that it is the first application and that you don't need a transition plan. But maybe it would be better if they call the MIDI (there is no waiting on the phone)
