Obtaining a certificat d’acceptation du Québec (CAQ) is a process that foreign individuals may need to go through in order to study or work in the province of Quebec, Canada. The CAQ is issued by the Government of Quebec and serves as a proof of acceptance into a study or work program in Quebec. In this article, we will provide step-by-step instructions for a foreign individual to obtain a CAQ.
1.Determine if you are eligible for a CAQ. In order to be eligible for a CAQ, you must be a foreign individual who has been accepted into a study or work program in Quebec. You must also meet the requirements for the type of CAQ that you are applying for (study or work).
2.Gather all necessary documents. In order to apply for a CAQ, you will need to submit a number of documents, including:
- A completed application form (available on the Government of Quebec website)
- A valid passport or travel document
- A letter of acceptance from the institution or employer in Quebec that has accepted you into a study or work program
- Any other documents required by the institution or employer (such as transcripts or resume)
3.Submit your application. You can submit your CAQ application online through the Government of Quebec website, or in person at a Quebec immigration office. When submitting your application, you will need to pay the required fees.
4.Wait for a decision. The processing time for a CAQ application varies, but you can expect to receive a decision within a few weeks to a few months.
5.If your application is approved, you will receive a CAQ. You will need to present your CAQ when you arrive in Quebec in order to study or work.
6.If your application is denied, you may have the option to appeal the decision. You can find more information about the appeal process on the Government of Quebec website.
It is important to note that obtaining a CAQ is just one step in the process of studying or working in Quebec. You may also need to apply for a study or work permit through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Be sure to follow the instructions provided by the Government of Quebec and IRCC in order to successfully obtain all necessary documents and permission to study or work in Quebec.
