HELP NEEDED: Questions about Quebec Immigration

[nevillek]

Hi Everyone,

I completed my Bachelors(Acctng&Finance) in 2009 (and just completed a Masters(Management) in 2011 April but through distance learning) and have no work experience/knowledge of French. I want to immigrate to Canada and feel that the best way to go is the Quebec Skilled Worker program and have some questions regarding the same:

1) What is the minimum work experience required? My immigration consultant mentions 2 years but I don't see anything mentioned on the Quebec Immigration site. Can anyone provide me the link which mentions the minimum work experience required is 2 years? According to http://www.canadavisa.com/quebec-immigration-work-experience.html , there is 4 points awarded for 6-11 mnths, 12-23 mnths of work experience. Doesn't mention anything about the minimum work experience needed. Also, curious, why are 6-11 and 12-23 mnths divided into two sections if both award 4 points each?

2) Does Quebec accept ALL types of jobs for work experience requirements? If not, where can I find the list?

3) Does the 2 years Masters through Distance Learning count?

4) What should I select in this question: What is the highest level diploma recognized by the State that you have received? My Bachelors is 15 years of formal education but I'm not sure how that compares here.

5) What should I select in this question: Does this diploma fall under a Mutual Recognition Agreement (e.g., the France-Québec agreement)?

6) What is the exact "minimal" level of French required?

7) The Alliance de Francaise has courses after which you can sit for the DELF A1, A2, B1, etc. exams. Which of these exams would qualify me as "High Beginner" under Quebec requirements so that I can score 3+3 points for French? Is it true that I can just do the A1 course and apply to Quebec immigration, and AFTER that I can give me DELF/TEF/TEFAQ exam? Will A1 be enough?

8.) I heard that TEF or TEFAQ is EASIER than DELF, etc.? Which exam should I go for? I think that there is no TEF/TEFAQ center in my country, so I want to know if it is worth it to go to another country to give this test, if this test is far more easier than DELF?

9) Can I achieve the minimal level of French by taking classes for a year?

10) Would my Bachelors count as an "Equivalent to Quebec diploma" and let me score 6 points for that according to http://www.canadavisa.com/quebec-immigration-education.html

11) For "Areas of training", does my degree fall under Section A,B,C,D or others? Not sure.

12) Finally, how long does it take to get QSC approximately?

Thanks in advance all!
