@ koreantoquebec,
Why don't you write an email to BIQ with your question? Typically, they respond in a week's time.

Best of luck!

thanks!!

I applied on 18th May 2012 to BIQ Hong Kong and have not rcvd any response yet. I called twice and still rcvd same reply "Be Patient". Don't know what on earth going on with these guys.

@Indian4mSA, what application form did you use? the one that was available at the time I did mine had to be handwritten. It wasnt until later that a new form was posted on the site that could be filled in electronically.

Dear Sharptooth,

I have the following break of the points (ref: canadavisa,com);

education=10, Areas of training=12 , work expereince=8, Age=16, language=6, Spouse education=3, Spouse Areas of Training=0, Spouse Age=3, Child=8, financial=1
Total= 67

Question is, if I have like 67 points without counting on 6 points of adaptability in interview or even without having claiming French Language points, will it be wise to go on with the case? Or do you strongly suggest to have put some time in to French language preparation?

Looking to hear from you soon;

Bilal

Hi Manoj and nevillek,

Thanks for the reply and about my french language skills, Me and my wife gave DELF A1 and got the scores above 16 so I considered 4 points and I am planning to give DELF A2 in august.

Now my questions are

1. As I am short of one point Can I submitting the application now and submit the A2 certificate later?

2. I got the provisional certificate for DELF A1 and will get the original certificate on mid august, So can I submit the application with provisional certificate?

Here are my points:

Training
Education 12
Area of Training 6
WorkExperiance 8
Age 16
Language Proficiency 6
Family and Stay in Quebec 0
Spouse Characterastics 7
Validated Employment Offer 0
Children 0
Self Sufficiency 1

Total 56

Hi kumarpk,

Do you have knowledge of French? If not, why don't you first sign up for basic French course at the nearest Alliance Francaise? If you and your spouse pass DELF A1, then you will earn 4 more points. At that point, submit your application and continue learning French for at least DELF B1 level. I am sure, you know that you will need total 63 points including 6 Adaptability points later at interview stage. As you can see, learning French is absolutely necessary in your Quebec project.


Québec considers knowledge of French an important selection criterion for immigrants.

Immigration candidates with insufficient knowledge of French to be selected may be referred to certain language schools.

After you make your decision to immigrate to Québec, enroll in a recognized French language school and increase your chances of being selected.

Good luck!!

1. No, they will reject your application if you don't reach the interview threshold.

2. No, you have to submit the actual Diplôme, for some reason they don't consider the DELF's relevé de notes as proof of your level in French.

1. As I am short of one point Can I submitting the application now and submit the A2 certificate later?

2. I got the provisional certificate for DELF A1 and will get the original certificate on mid august, So can I submit the application with provisional certificate?

Dear Bilal,

What is your native country degree points are based on Quebec equivalency (see GPI for reference).
Do you have quebec degree if you have your degree from Quebec then you can claim 12 points for AOT otherwise you will be awarded 6 points, I also have Masters in computer science and my AOT is 6 points.

Hey guys,

Sent in my application on May 5th, 2012 havent received an AOR as yet. The wait is the worst part I think. In addition, I havent seen a lot of successful cases from my country.
Hoping for the best still.

Which country are you from?

 

[manojneelu]

Hi kumarpk,

I agree with kuro_shio's response. Unfortunately, you will have to wait until you meet interview threshold of 57 points. Otherwise, they may return the application.

By the way, when did you appear for DELF A1? I and my wife appeared on May 07, 2012 and we are patiently waiting for diplôme.

Good luck!

@kumar,

I noticed that your individual application is reaching 49 points. If you want to file your application immediately then you can file individual application without spouse and later you can update BIQ with spouse application and difference fee.
Meantime you and your spouse can start learning french immediately.
