Subject: Quebec vs. Federal
  Any one has experience with quebec immigration process? If yes, Please post your experience.

In Addition I have some questions. I will appreciate if someone or more people can answer them. Please do if you can.

1) Work Experience: I have about 1+ year of full time work experience in my field of education. Question is should I list other parttime jobs like student assistant(at campus recreation, at library, at police dept. etc.)? If yes, no work contracts as they were student jobs and work reference not possible, so options?

2) Police Certificates: Do I need to send with the application or later on? (Federal Process)

3) Bank statements: Should I send with the initial application or later on ? (Federal Process)

4) My father applied for skilled worker immigration (1997) and he was rejected (few points short). Now, I was included in the application as depenedent. Now, when filling out application forms for either of the process there is question that If you have ever applied for any kind of visa to canada and was it denied? What should be my answer to this question?

Yes - took bloody ages to get CSQ.

Can´t answer your first question but surely if you read all the documentation thoroughly it will tell you if you need to send the police certificates and bank statements? It depends where you´re from but I know it´s on the CIC website somewhere.

3) Sounds like you should just mention what you wrote in your application. They might have your name in the system and if you put no, it might not look good. Since it wasn´t your fault you were denied and you weren´t the principle applicant, I doubt you´d have any problems...

VJ,

How long did it took to get CSQ? Timeline if possible. And did you have any ties(education, work, friends/family) to Quebec? And your level of french?

I am Indian national living in US for about 6 years on student b4 and now H1b.

A way to contact you for more information?

DP.

Anna,

Are you already living in Quebec? If you are living in US, I think you must apply to New York. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks.

Timing Quebec vs Federal Program for Investor Visa (in reply to: Quebec vs. Federal)
I´ve been receiving conflicting information concerning the length of time the Quebec process takes verses the Federal Program. Some sources suggest that Quebec is 18-24 months while the Federal Program is running at up to 4 years. Others suggest that though the pre-qualification potion of Quebec goes faster that ultimately both programs take the same amount of time.

Any feedback on this issue? This is for the Investor Class 400,000 Visa.
