I don't know how I could have forgotten this link (this is the official Preliminary tool):

Preliminary Evaluation for Immigration

The Preliminary Evaluation for Immigration enables you to obtain directly online a free summary evaluation of your chances of being selected by Québec. Note that this It does not , however, lead to a formal decision under An Act Respecting Immigration to Québec, but rather provides you with a positive or negative opinion from the ministère de l'Immigration et des Communautés culturelles(MICC) regarding your candidacy.




****Intake of applications


Skilled workers - See below to determine if you can submit an application in the Skilled worker class until July 31, 2013

You meet the eligibility conditions of the Programme de l'expérience québécoise (Temporary worker) (PEQ - Québec experience program for temporary workers) or are eligible to apply for a selection certificate under the regular program for skilled workers.

Hello Amo_sap, I see you say you "know very little French but my wife is expert in French", in that case, if you want to know if you qualify with the above, you should have her help you read the following French documents (click on the PDF links below):


• You or your accompanying spouse hold a diploma awarded by a teaching institution in an area of training allowing you to get 6 (see list, in French, 38 kb), 12 or 16 points under the area of training criterion of the selection grid for skilled workers (see list, in French, 35 kb). The number of years of study required to obtain your diploma must be at least equal to the number of years required to obtain that diploma in Québec. This diploma was obtained less than five years before the date of your application. Failing that, you must have practised, on a full-time basis and for at least one year out of the five years preceding the date of your application, a profession or trade in an area related to that diploma.


You need to check the list in the (French) PDF documents I linked to above to determine if you (or your spouse) qualify for the points.

Regarding your chances I really don't know, sorry I am not an expert at this. You could try the free Canada immigration Assessment tool at this CanadaVisa site though, they would be better able to advise you regarding the QSWP.


I think which ever one of you BEST satisfy the requirement should be the main applicant.
