Hello All,

I have done 4 years Bachelor degree in computer science, currently I am working in Middle East as programmer. My brother is citizen of canada and is living nowadays in Quebec. When I fill the online form for immigration to Quebec, it says u are successfull, in the form I have given the information like French Knoweldge NIL, Relatives in Canada yes, English language high proficiency.

I don't know whether I should move further OR not? Please guide me what to do, should I apply for Quebec Immigration OR not? I am reading here that Interview is in French, I am wondering how can I get CSQ then. Should I do IELTS OR not?

Please let me know what to do? Also if someone know that my 4 years Bachelor Degree in computer science is equvalent to what degree in Quebec?

Also how long it takes to process CSQ if I apply from Saudi Arabia and overall immigration.
Thanks

Seniors, correct me if I'm wrong but I think that if neither English nor French is your native language, you are required to do the language tests when you submit your application.

For Quebec, you are not REQUIRED to take the IELTS or the TEF, but it's recommended in order to speed up your application. You can send it in after your application. If you claim some fluency in French or English, you'll have to prove it somehow; if not with the tests then at the interview. If you don't claim any French, then your interview is in English. Of course, then you'll have less points. Did you do the online assessment on the Quebec immigration site? That's also helpful.

Can someone guide me on how to count points for education and training. My details.

completed 3 year BS and 2year MS in maths (foreign degree) 12 years ago. Did not work in a maths related area.
also completed 2 year MS degree (foreign) in Biochemistry and have 4 yr (2yr in university + 2 yr in job) experience in this area (last 5 years).

using this (immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/publications/en/informations/list-training-26may2009.pdf), I calculated my points:

Education = 12 points (post graduate degree)
Training = not sure (my BS degree is not in the list of preferred areas of training, but my MS degree is and I have experience in biochem).

also, when I looked at different websites for points for single applicants, I see different numbers (42, 49 and 55). Can someone here enlighten? Thanks.

The threshold is 55 points for single applicants, but that's *after* the interview, where they can give you up to 6 points. So when you're at home calculating, your "score to beat"is 49 if you're single.

I think, that to get training points, you need to have gotten that degree in the past 5 years OR have had a year of work experience related to it in the past 5 years. See this page:

You would get 12 points for your MA under level of education, that's correct.
