I've written on here before, but I figured I'd ask about this anyway...
Originally, I had ruled out the idea of Quebec Skilled Worker program because of the processing times and because I have no desire to settle in Quebec forever. But now that I've researched it a bit, I don't think you necessarily have to (?). I have added up my points. I hit about 54, if I remember correctly, maybe 50.
I think this would be the best option for me, considering:
I am happy settling anywhere in Quebec, so long as there is need for me there. Montreal, Quebec City, Gatineau, don't care! I would just like to establish myself somewhere. I was thinking about pursuing BUNAC USA (12 month Working Holiday) in the meantime. Does anyone have experience going from this to QSW?
I don't know if it's a viable option. I know that the best option is working here in the US while my application is processed. sounds more realistic, and it will proably be what I do.

I think this would be the best option for me, considering:
- French degree (December 2012) - Level B2 or maybe higher (Will take DELF or TEF)
- Age 23, 24-25 at time of application for Certificat,
- 2 years experience in Customer Service role (Campus Recreation)
- 2 years as Medical Transcriptionist
- Current internship (2.5 months) with my local Chamber of Commerce
- Studied for 3 months in Saguenay, QC during the Fall of 2011. (Sept-early Dec) Lived with host family.
- No criminal record to speak of.
- Medical history: hydrocephalus and retinal detachment -- both are stable and I've been fine for some years with the hydro. Both retinas have been addressed and are very stable, have been for a couple of years.
