YOU SEE, THIS POST WAS NOT INTENDED FOR YOU.. AS FOR MY PARENTS, THEY TAUGHT ME THE RIGHT MANNERS AND I AM THANKFUL FOR THAT. BUT THEN IF YOUR PARENTS TAUGHT YOU THAT TYPING UPPERCASE LETTERS IS CONSIDERED 'YELLING' I AM INTERESTED TO KNOW WHAT OTHER KEYBOARD MANNERS THEY TAUGHT YOU.

Hello,

I have recently applied for membership with CPA Quebec and despite having studied French from age 5 till age 18 - full time education (13years), they are still saying I do not qualify as I don't have 3years full time education in French.

Anyone came across similar situation? Any suggestion how to qualify for the 3years full time education in French?

Thank you.

You might not have studied in Quebec or Canada.

You can sit for a standardized test to prove your French ability. I guess that might be considered as equivalent proof

Québec do not accept most foreign education professional degrees ( IT is an exception) and other provinces Canada too to a lesser extent, though not rabid like Québec.

You will have to jump thru hoops to get your credentials recognized or take supplementary courses. Sorry you are in this situation. When Canada tells they need skilled immigrants, take it with a pinch of salt. There are professional guilds in Canada who do not want foreigners to take their jobs. So they make it very hard for a foreigner to practice their profession in Canada. Eg: Nurses, Doctors, Non Computer Science Engineers. I agree with them in part because some schools in certain countries are not that great when it comes to professional education.

Addendum:

If you have been watching Canadian news, for example the shortage of doctors & nurses in Nova Scotia and hospitals shutting down. Huge delays in getting healthcare in Nova Scotia because of this.

A surgeon who had his degree from a foreign country says he is not allowed to practice in Nova Scotia because Canada do not accept his degrees !

Oh by the way, Quebec is the most openly racist province in Canada. Far right nationalist groups and a CAQ government which plays identity politics reigns freely in Québec. Immigrants in Quebec are treated like second class citizens.

Yes
Pls advice can we survive without French in Montreal

Yes there are English sections in and around Montreal and most people are bilingual in a Western Quebec. The issue is getting a job if you are not bilingual. If you are in IT it’s not such a big deal but it is in most other industries. Your children will also have to go to French school if you are a PR.
