Outland application to Quebec in French

[QCSunshine]

Hi all,

I am an American applying for permanent residence with the intention of being in Quebec (my husband is from Quebec). Did anyone apply outland using all the French forms? I assume this is fine, but the fact that it goes through Buffalo makes me wonder. I had originally planned to apply inland and had prepared that application and supporting materials in French, but recently decided to apply outland and don't know if I need to re-do it all in English??? All my explanations of photos, cards, etc., are done in French already.

Anyone else submit in outland in French, or know if that is fine?

Thanks!

Hi!

You can submit your application in French or English, nomatter which visa office will be processing your case.

Hope this helps!

Hi QC, I applied as a dependant child with my father sponsoring me. Although it is a slightly different application process and office, i did everything in English (it can be either / or). However when it comes to applying for your CSQ, those applications must be done in french

Oh and if it wasnt clear, my application was for Quebec too. Good luck!

Foreign service officers have to be bilingual (English and French), so there is no problem with submitting an application in French to any Canadian embassy in the world. In fact, since the Canadians most likely to be bilingual are Francophones, French might even be better.

The CSQ application for Quebec "must" be filled out in the french, other than that the rest can be done either both languages.

kokobsb and compuadnet: Thanks for the tip about the CSQ.

canadianwoman: Interesting perspective. And I'm glad to know that Foreign Service Officers have to be bilingual. I didn't know that...

Hi
i wish to apply for Quebec Immigration, and it says to fill all forms in french.

I don't know french, so what should I do?

Get somebody to help you. If your spouse can't, and you don't have any French-speaking friends, you could hire an immigration consultant to do it.

I would think that, since Canada's police of official bilingualism mandates that the federal government conduct its business in both official languages and provide government services in both languages, that anyone working for the federal government in the capacity of providing government services to citizens know both languages......

You use these English versions of the forms as a guide as to what questions they are asking on the French forms.....and the dictionary for any French words you don't know: http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/forms/search-title/undertaking-application/kit-a.html (assuming you need Kit A and not B.....). You can only use them as a guide though, obviously.

Remember that part of the CSQ application (the "Application for Selection Certificate - Family Class" form) involves signing the declaration that you abide by the values of Québec society, including learning French.
