Hi Everyone!

I have submitted my immigration application for the Quebec Selection Certificate under the Permanent Workers class and am waiting for a date to be fixed for an interview.
Moving countries since I introduced my application, has delayed my processing time it's now been 11 months but they have confirmed that I am a waiting list but could not tell when or where I'd be called for the interview itself.

Would anyone be able to share some light on the following questions:

1. Any advice and key questions that I may be asked at the interview (the Dos and Don'T,..ect)

2. Is an 11 month waiting time normal?

3. When will new selection missions be announced?

4. I am currently in the DRC (I applied via the Paris Office) and I suspect that my interview may be in Kenya or Mauritius.

-Has anyone had an interview in Kenya or Mauritius? (Could you please share your experience)

-Has anyone based in the DRC been called for an interview in other countries apart from Kenya or Mauritius?

Thanks

In terms of #2, you can check average processing times here:

ht tp://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/immigrate-settle/permanent-workers/official-immigration-application/immigration-application/processing-times-table.html

(take out space in http)

There are a couple of sites that deal with the CSQ interviews, let me try to find them and get back to you.

I found this one:

It's in French, though.
