Quebec Immigration - Skilled Worker Program

[alexey_nathan]

What I did on the US was send several copies (it always good to have more than one) of my degree to the registrar office along with the form to have it certified.

I'm pretty sure your university could do the same. It will be better if you have your documents certified by the holder of records, IMO.

Hello again!
I just phoned my university and they said they can give a certified true copy only if I come in person, which I can't do. They said they can send me the certificate of graduation which is an official proof of my degree and it should be sufficient for immigration. Do you think they are right?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum and trying to assess my eligibility for Quebec CSQ Application. My details are as below:

Age :- 28

Education :-
a) Mechanical Engineering - India (2007)
b) MBA - Quebec (Expected in Dec 2012)

Work Experience:-
1) 40 months - IT company (India/UK)
2) 8 months - Quebec (MBA Intern)
* Total Experience is a week less than 48 months if I have to be precise...not sure to round it off to 47 or 48

IELTS :-
Oct 2010 - 7.5 (Overall Score)
Oral Comprehension :- 7.5
Oral Expression :- 7.5

Stay in Quebec:-
As a student from Jan 2011 - Till Date

Financial Self Sufficiency :- Sufficient

French:- No
Spouse :- No
Children :- No

Employment :-
1) Working part time from Sep 2012 - Jan 2013 in a company based in Montreal.
2) Full Time job offer from a company based in Montreal starting Feb 2013

I have been trying to calculate my total points and have a few queries:

Age : 16 Points
Financial Self Sufficiency: 1
Education : 12
Work Experience : 6
Stay in Quebec : 5
English : 5 (3+2)
Areas of Training : ??
Job Offer : ??

Queries
1) How many points will I have under Areas of Training? Will I be awarded the points for this section based on my Engineering degree or MBA?
2) Will I get any points for the job offer as there is a criteria that the job needs to be validated? I am not sure if I understand what a validated job offer means
3) I believe as a single applicant one needs to score 49 points (55 points including adaptability). Can I apply for a CSQ without presently having any knowledge of French and MBA degree expected in Dec 2012, if I manage enough points ? Also if I am able to manage 55 points without French, should I expect an Interview?

I would really appreciate if somebody from this forum can assist with the above queries.

Thanks a lot in Advance.

Could anyone pls help me with above queries!!

It's pretty weird that they are refusing to give you a certified copy. I've never had any problems in that regard here in the US.
I just don't understand why they are refusing to do it, they certainly have the means to validate the validity of your degree and obviously they can do it (they already said that they could do it in person). Have you tried asking one of your university friends to go there?

I couldn't tell u for sure if a certificate of graduate would be enough. You could try contacting your BIQ and ask them about this issue.

It is very weird indeed. My friends there can't help me, because they registrar's office specifically said that I need to come and take it in person.
I phoned my BIQ and they said I can send whatever I have, but the officer might not be satisfied and would ask for the original.

This thing worries me a lot don't know what to do...

there is something that is confusing me ,do they accept the "attestation de reussite" or not
i have passed the delf b1 successfully and got the attestation but i haven't received the original certificate yet and it will take like couple more months to be delivered
some people say they accept the attestation and others say they only accept the original
anybody has reached a final conclusion about this topic?
thanks in advance

Congrats!! How long was the interview? Was it all in French? Seems like many folks on the forum are learning French, so your experience will be helpful for us. Any tough/unexpected questions at the interview?

Congrats again!!
