This reply is for Marylatt and Caribgrl55. I have researched this same issue for some time and my findings are that most foreign degrees would not be
Marylatt, you said you have a Masters in Sociology, since it is a foreign degree, based on the aforementioned list, I reckon you would get 0 points for field of training, because a foreign Sociology degree gets 0 points, but you would get 12 points for your Masters degree.
I still think a lot is left to the discretion of the Visa Officer, but this is my understanding of how the points for area of training are awarded. Hope this helps.

Thank you, Really. I've been doing more research into it and I believe what you said is exactly the case. The only equivalent of a Quebec diploma would be one recognized under the France-Quebec Agreement.

I have a Certificate in Continuing Studies in Professional Translation (French-English) from the University of Toronto, and I took the SAT French back in 1999. Do you guys think this counts as proof of French proficiency, or should I take a French test? I was planning on taking the TEF, but I don't want them to change the rules before I get a chance to do it in March. ???

Also, to let you guys know, I wrote to my Quebec immigration office (Sao Paulo) and asked them about French proficiency proof, and they said that, in addition to the official tests, they would also accept:


- a letter from a private French teacher stating hours of French classes completed, start date of course, plus current level and ability in speaking/writing/reading, etc..
- a letter from a French language school stating the same;
- an evaluation taken at an Alliance Francaise.

Strange, huh? I thought only the official tests were admissible, but that's what they wrote!

hi Anumatri,
I am also waiting for an interview at New York. when did you get your AOR?

 

[anumatri]

Hi Ravi
i received AOR in May 2010

 

[chibiks]

this is ridiculous, I was under the impression that CSQ is processed in 8-12months max. I too received AOR in early July but since then, nothing - total months to date is 7 months! I seriously wonder when i should seriously expect communication from them. I even applied fro inside canada and thought this will be quicker but oh well!

Maybe we will al here before February 15th is my estimate now.

Hi there

Let's say Happy Birthday and wish you all the best.
Actually I'm not a quebec applicant. Is there a difference in terms of scores between 35 and 36 in quebec? If not, what's the importance how old they will consider you.

 

[anumatri]

Hi chibiks

[mansoorhashmi]
