Quebec integration program for nurses

World Immigration

Published

Hi!

I just want to know how to start with the papers. I have received my kit already ( these are the forms that were sent by the Order from Quebec) but I am not sure on WHOM or WHERE should I send this??? I am at haste on whether I am going to fill it up already because I might make errors and I do not have extra copies for these.

There were no clear instructions on what to do and I did not go under an agency so basically im so CLUELESS..

CAN ANYONE, WITH GOOD HEART, HELP ME WITH THIS ONE??? Any information will sincerely be appreciated.

Thanks a Lot and More Power to Everyone!!!

Regards,

RemNant^__^

I mean permanent resident....does anybody here have already completed the quebec skilled worker program..pls share...coz im into this but i am advised to wait for 3-4months... My docs were submited in quebec last december... Im worried what would b next...

That doesn't make any more sense! Landing in Quebec doesn't make you a permanent resident! If you paid the person that told you this, you need to get your money back from that yahoo because it's bull. Geez.

But it does if they receive PR by applying and meeting requirements. Many people do this for Canada. There are many routes that can be used to get PR. One of the routes is skilled workers, Quebec have their own routes as well. As long as immigration requirements are met and the applicant has been approved then PR is stamped on arrival to Canada and applicant has leave to stay regardless on which province they apply to.

Yes, I get that. But these posts have been pretty much saying that the act itself of landing in Quebec gives you immigrant status. THAT is what I was calling ridiculous. But if you land, then apply for PR status and qualify, that's a different game altogether.

You can apply for PR outside of Canada and when you land you do become Permanent Resident and get immigration status. Believe me this is something I have gone through and read up extensively on. I am not fully aware of the Quebec route and I did come into Canada with my husband on a TWP however the process is very similar especially when going through the skilled federal workers list which at the moment is not an option for nurses.

To land and get immigration PR status requirements must be met first and approval given before landing.

I have asked them to be clearer as their posts are not

sorry to join in the conversation, but the term "land" was the old term for physically entering a Canadian port. That's why they still use the term "Landed Immigrant" or "Landed Permanent Resident". So yeah, the act of landing into Canada is a requirement to actually "activate" the PR status.

Anyways, I just want to share that I applied to this QSW before (2010-2011) when I was still working in the US. I was told by my agent that I meet the minimum requirement for immigration through Quebec. I had the interview in New York. I didn't get the QSW sponsorship, though, coz I have no French language ability, which to me is a pretty fair decision. However, I was given a chance to learn French and submit an evidence of it and then I was told that my application will move forward.

To make the long story short, I took the IELTS and ended up here in Australia. And I'm lovin' it here.

I'm really surprised by the number of Filipino nurses now applying for Quebec. I think there were only two people here a year ago, including me, who were inquiring on how to become a nurse in Quebec.

It's 2014 now, i just want to know if you are already there in quebec? And working as RN? I am planning to apply as QSW, but im not yet sure and determined cos im thinking about the language barrier. I only have a 1 year experience as a trainee in a tertiary hosp in the philippines, and i dont know if im qualified.

I hope you get to see this msg. Thanks!

Are you fluent in conversational/medical French? You will not be issued a full Quebec nursing license until you pass the stringent French language exam. The wages are night high. The locals are preferential to Francophiles. It is not an easy transition. Even in the English speaking facilities a strong command of French is required. (And the French language exam is mandatory regardless of where you work if you wish to be licensed & live/work in Quebec. Well respected & popular professionals in nursing, medicine, and dentistry have been stripped of their credentials for failing to pass the required French exams)

If you truly not sure, why not explore other options. Your lack of desire to live and work in Quebec will be visible and only make your stay more difficult.

yes..thank you for that opinion. Quebec was just one of my options and I'm eliminating it now. You were right about the lack of determination and desire. I never studied the french language and based on my researches, it was really difficult to learn. I think i just have to stick and focus on my first choice and give by best. Anyways, if plan A didn't work, i got 25 letters more. I just have to work hard and wait for His perfect plans. Thank you :)

Your user name just makes North Americans suspicious. "Astronaut" is a term used to describe Asian migrants who will land anywhere to get residency and use it to fit there plan not the needs of the nation.

Astronauts are notorious is BC's lower mainland and parts of Alberta. Get landed immigrant status, stay just long enough to get Citizenship papers and leave using the new passport.

From the sounds of this thread, many are planning to "astronaut" into PQ and then scamper to greener pastures STAT.
