Why are you only talking about Asian applicants being "fooled" by this new language requirement? All other applicants are affected as well. I guess, not francophone countries really, but a lot of others!

Is it that difficult to understand? Quebec wants people who can speak french fluently and contribute to their province. And they know that if they bring in french speaking applicants, they are more likely to stay in the province after getting their residency than using this process as a backdoor and moving on to other parts of Canada. Otherwise, it would be a waste of their operational time value of money.
There is no discrimination. Like every other country in the world, the final decision as to whom to let into their land rests with Quebec.

Oops. Canada did it again.

New rules, more than likely, if you look at the FAQ's in their French website. If you are not going to claim points for French upon submission of your application, you must make sure you have 49 or 57 points at least, without it ( I reached this conclusion because they said somewhere in their site, "applicants who wish to claim points). Then you can just update your file later and get additional points. But without French, you may be at a disadvantage because Quebec is very particular with this. They'll accept your application but may put other files with French ahead of yours.

if my application will process by the new rules my points will increase into 66 points (without french exam) because there is increase points for nurses, is there a chance that my application will process without french exam?
Please give me some advice

Unfortunately no one can advice on this, even if there is some suggestions its more speculative and not actual, Only the immigration dept can give the right info, which they never do. Best thing is to keep cool wait patiently.

I can never accept this, in any civilized society, people will find no reason to leave a place unless there exists any other discrimination based on origin, race, religion language. I dont think Quebec is one such place. Imagine, lot of Indians, Pakistanis, Chinese, Filipinos, Bangladeshis, living in Main land Europe, Without knowing German, French, Spanish, Portuguese etc. In fact I have friends who have no knowledge of any local languages and successfully established in these places. Quebec, will also be one such place with a beautiful mix of religion, color, race, origin, language and can be a definite success over other province.

If Quebec purposefully rejects people based on the origin and language, they are deciding to kill their own economy and definitely I do not want to be part of it. Note that, I am not saying the new rules has any such intentions, Since Quebec still provide points for English, Which makes me feel they dont discriminate based on language. If what ever you have told turns to be true I would definitely withdraw my application. And I am better off not going to Quebec.

Folks

Québec is a democaracy and they have the right to change the rules to suit them. IF they want higher level of French then it is their right to demand this.

Yeah it stinks but hey if you are genuinely seeking to live in Québec then learning French to a higher level is an advantage. It is more than obvisous from some of the postings that certain people are using the QSW just to enter Canada without any intention of staying in Québec.

Even though Canada is officially a bilingual country Québec is predominantley French speaking, you just can't integrate fully not knowing French, other of course will contradict this and there are cases where this has happened. The majority of people will have problems.

Has anyone bothered to look at some of the jobs available in Québec and how many ask for bilingualism both spokend and written??? nearly all of the jobs in the domain I work in demand both spoken and written French and trust me I do not do a lot of writing in my field.

I have tefaq C1 & C2 and have lived and worked in France for nearly 7 years and trust me, I think I am going to have problems!!! Just understanding Québec French is a challenge and not to mention the use of words that in France French means something completely different.

As for those of you who want interview waiver. If you believe your case to be strong then you can get the points for adaptability and are genuinely interested in Québec then the interviw will be a doddle as you will of course have been studying and preparing already for moving to Québec and should be well advanced in understanding the Québec culture, québec life and Québec values. I think that most of the people who are cacking it and are annoyed are those that have tried to play the game of easyness for entering Canada and here Québec has just made the game a little bit harder.

I know that what I have said may not apply to everyone but it does apply to some, but the moral of the story is you gotta try harder folks, learn French if you genuinely want to integrate into Québec and if your intention is to move to another province as soon as you have arrive, then do us all who genuinely want to live in Québec a favour and bugger off to the FSW route.

TIP: for those genuinely trying to learn French the a Besscherelle is 100% neccesarry. CO?JUGAISON, ORTHOGRAPH et SYNTAXE.


Food For Thought: Just imagine in your country if a French person arrived who only spoke French, how would they integrate into your culture not knowing your language or your way of life???.
