Hello,

I am planning to file on 16th August 2016. I am bachelors in commerce from Delhi university and MSC in International Management from UK. I have total 7.3 years of experience.3.4 years as SAP Consultant and filing in NOC 2171. How much will I get in AOT? My IELTS SCORE is 7 band and my wife score is 6.5. We have done the WES evaluation. My CSR score is 391.

Will it be worth to file for Quebec as I have researched that 60% of the cases gets rejected and also 760 CAD is not refundable. I thought that Quebec will take only 9 months. Is it true that it can take up to 3 years from 16th august? What can be the chances of New Brunswick, Price Edward island or Skatchvan? How are these to go ahead?

Please suggest your valuable inputs so I can make up my mind.

Thanks in advance.

Giving the long processing time of QSW (2yrs+). I think it would be better to try getting a PNP for express entry first. Ontario is guaranteed in November if you can boost your CRS score to 400+.

From what I read, I am not even sure If you will have enough points to begin with.
Here are the following problems:
1. business management and commerce is not related to your NOC - that means that you will not be able to claim points from neither areas of training (neither IT nor business). In order to claim those points you must have at least 1 year of continous work experience related to your main studies within last 5 years (the study can be longer before, but you need connected work experience)
2. Your IELTS score will only give you 4 points in language and IELTS of your spouse does not matter (only spoken French from TEF would give you some points).
As married, you need to pass 57 points, so without TEF in french at least on CBL level 6 you might not cross that line. (French alone can give you up to 16 points while English only 4). Like 20 points on that scale come from connections with canada only (relatives, previous work experience there or studies).
So loosing 16 points in language and other 16 points in areas of training might be too much.
Then again recheck and recalculate your points.

If not from South America, it will take more than two years to get CSQ and an additional one year for federal. Quebec likes people from South America (kidding lol!!!!) their processing time very short. So better to apply to any other province which you're eligible for.

Quebec has its own immigration program completely separate from express entry.

After obtaining the CSQ you still need to apply for PR at the federal level though
