Hi everyone. I just wanna share to you all my friends here that I received my CSQ 19th on Paris. to StillHope, mkshah,Katayoon, ambi1755, solukru and many to mention....
;D ;D
It's been a long journey for me, but as what you friends told me to just hang on and believe in myself, and of course pray hard.
;D
I just want to share my experience for all of us whose still on the process of application. Currently, I live in UK and sent the application to BIQ Paris. Obtaining a visa in London for France is quite difficult. So I advise anyone who need a visa for France, be knowleadgble about the process, requirements beforehand.
My interview time was 1530, I arrived 30mins early and when a lady saw me, she then asked me to show my passport and convocation letter/interview letter. And told me to sit in the waiting area and wait to be called. I was with 2 other applicants. Both of them are speaking French.
The place is like a small office where there are small cubicle divided each with a private room, about a 10 numbered room I guess. So I waited for 30mins, and the first applicant was called. The interviewer was a man,in his early 50s, strict face I should say. After 2 minutes, the 2nd applicant was called. The interviewer was in his early 30s man,with a tough built. And so my turn, when a South African gentleman called me in. The first time I saw him, he smiled at me so , I had a calm feeling that he will understand my desire to migrate in Quebec. He was smiling all the time. And asked me, if I want the interview in French or English and need not to worry if I dont speak in French. I told him in French, If possible, I want the interview in both language,but I speak little French.
He then asked me in French, about a simple introduction. I prepared an introduction, but he asked me another question immediately. He asked me about the work, work certificates, itr or tax exemption. I answered him in French, his on computer typing all the time but he would stare at me and nod if his satisfied. Theres one instance that, while I was trying to speak French tounge tied, ;D he utter the words together with me..hehe. Then he let me explain, about the province in Quebec. Why did I choose the place, the Common Values in Quebec. He asked me about any french exam, I told him Im scheduled to take the exam on May this year. He asked about the process on obtaining a permit if the profession is regulated by any order or board.
He asked me some English questions, but most of it was French questions. Whenever he utter a French word, I would listen carefully and remember some words that is common to me, it worked for me though but questions are all in Quebec Handbook.
After about 30-40 minutes, he told me I should improve my French and then he would accept my application and will be granted a CSQ. I was very lucky I guess, because when I saw the other applicant in the room before I left, the interviewer's face and the applicant were all serious.
He did not return my file. He just gave me 2 copies of CSQ ( one for me and for CIC)and then a guide.
Friends, yours is next..
As what mkshah says in his qoute, dont stop till u not reach ur destination..
Thanks everyone.. Ill be preparing for the next step.
