Tramites que hicimos para llegar a Quebec - Canada

Este post lo pondre en Espanol para muchos que desean venir y tienen dudas o estan viendo que pasos seguir.

Primero que nada nosotros tuvimos asesoria con una agencia certificada, nos informamos tomamos nuestro tiempo y vimos todas las opciones y revisamos el presupuesto varias veces.

Nosotros veniamos descontentos con muchas cosas que pasaron en Peru, mi esposo estresado en el trabajo por mas que tuviera un buen trabajo el stress le estaba pasando factura, y el cuerpo ya no es de los 25 anos, los adultos entenderan. La calidad de vida mas que nada es lo que nos motivo, al principio yo no queria, pues como muchos piensan, volver a empeza? nos ira bien? mi familia, amigos, mi vida aca hecha porque ya a los 40 anos esta lista. Mi esposo me dijo vamonos y le dije no, meses despues la historia fue distinta....

Llego un dia mi esposo despues del trabajo y me dijo, ya no aguanto quiero irme, vamonos, su tono no fue como orden, si no como peticion y si lo hubieran visto a el, solo le dije ok. Para esto ya lo venia pensando desde la primera vez que lo dijo, el tema era vencer el miedo a empezar.

Nosotros vimos 3 agencias antes de dar un SI. Las dos primeras no nos dieron muchas esperanzas:

1. Esta fue una que nos pedian $ 7 mil dolares americanos de adelanto y preguntamos por el tema de residencia. 

Debo aclarar que todas las agencias te piden tus datos para ver en que perfil encajas mejor, llenamos un formato y nos dieron dos opciones: Venir con residencia a Saskatchewan o venir como estudiante internacional.El tema de la residencia en Saskatchewan no nos gusto por las bajas temperaturas y nos pusimos a buscar y no lo vimos como opcion. Nos dijeron que si mi esposo estudiaba salia mas de 28 mil dolares porque ya tenia una maestria y depende del presupuesto porque te piden mucho mas para mantener a tu familia.

Seria mejor que estudie tu esposa le dijeron, ella no tiene carrera (estudiar aviacion comercial no es una profesion) y sale mas comodo una carrera despues del colegio y con el nivel avanzado de ingles que tienes puedes trabajar las 8 horas y ella 4 horas despues que se adapte al college. Un estudante internacional puede trabajar 40 horas a la semana. En ese momento dijimos no, porque no me parecia ya que decia quien se encarga de las ninas y mas.

2. la otra opcion fue una recomendacion de un peruano que hizo sus papeles con esta chica y le salio super bien, con ella hicimos la cita y preguntamos por el programa del atlantico y por el Express Entry, esta fue distinta, en el Express Entry definitivamente no calificabamos para ese, necesitabamos tener menos de 39 y bueno yo debia tener mas estudios que solo ingles intermedio y el tema de aviacion comercial, no es igual. Bueno.... ella dijo lo mismo que los primeros, que yo vaya a estudiar y en un par de anos puedo tener la re4sidencia, o un poco mas dependia de la provincia.

Ya en este momento los dos nos desanimamos, pasamos un par de semanas sin hablar del tema, hasta que le dije que le pregunte que ibamos a hacer? y me dijo que un amigo le recomendo otra chica que llevo a varios parientes suyos a Quebec, dijimos hagamos el ultimo intento.

3. Sacamos cita con Yoli, la verdad es que en una hora y media nos quito todas las dudas, nos dijo porque en el Expres Entry no llegabamos a los puntos, el programa del atlantico, y lugo nos conto como era del tema del estudiante, la verdad nos saco la venda de los ojos y nos dimos cuenta que era el unico camino y empezamos a hacer las cuentas. Hablar con ella nos dejo las cosas bien claras en la cita. Nos decidimos hacer los tramites con ella, porque nos dio suficiente confianza y seguridad.

Lo primero es que el college te acepte asi que debes tener los requisitos que te piden, estos son distintos conforme a las carreras y provincias de Canada:

Tener el idioma Ingles o Frances Nivel B2 Prueba de IELTS o TOEFL

Certificado y diploma de graduacion de colegio o universidad o intituto que hayas cursado en tu pais.

Si tienes maestria prersentar el certificado tambien.

CV Curriculum, hoja de vida (solo si es post grado)

Certificado de nacimiento.

Para la Visa de Estudiante:

CAQ Para tramitar el permiso de estudio en Quebec debemos este permiso que se llama CAQ lo puedes encontrar en la pagina de la embajada y llenarlo, todo esta claro, solo debes leer con atencion. Este tiene un precio por cada persona que va a estudiar mi caso fue mis dos hijas y yo (mis hijas en primaria y secundaria y yo en el college).

Partidas de nacimiento traducidas de todos los miembros de la familia (como lo fue en mi caso).

Pasaportes, a mi me pidieron las hojas aparte donde me sellaron anteriormente las entradas y salidas a otros paises, la agencia que me ayudo lo puso en el file que se presento.

Certificados de estudios sea de universidad, de secundaria, algo tecnico esos papeles se presentan. incluyendo los de idiomas.

Ingresos Economicos, en el momento que se pida la visa debes estar trabajando, porque si no ven tus boletas he visto casos donde la niegan, el arraigo (propiedades al menos una) carro si lo tienes, eso es importante.

Ahorros nosotros teniamos ahorros porque mi esposo siempre es previsorio, y en nuestro caso debiamos demostrar por ser 4 personas debia ser mas de 38 mil dolares americanos (eso varia acorde cuanto cuesta tu carrera). debes demostrarlos en la cuenta de ahorros, se que tambien en acciones a parte de lo que hay en la cuenta.

Despues de esto viene las tomas de los biometricos, que son las tomas de las huellas digitales para vernos en el sistema y que vean que no tenemos antecedentes, ahi abren un archivo de cada uno, te hacen un minimo de pregiuntas y te dan indicaciones para cuando te pidan tus pasaportes. aca no quiere decir que si te van a dar la visa, solo te informan por si es que te aprueban y esos datos no los debes perder.

Si vas por buen camino toca que hagan los examenes medicos, estos NO son hechos por el seguro que tengas, es particular por un medico reconocido por las embajadas y ese precio es distinto a los adultos en ese momento nos costo S/. 800 SOLES fue x 3 mi hija mayor que tenia 14, mi esposo y yo. Mi hija menor fue algo de S/. 740 SOLES por ser menor de 12. Aparte de eso las radiografias y otro examen mas que seria algo de S/. 30 soles cada uno. Esto el mismo medico lo firma y arma un expediente y lo mandan a la embajada de Canada.

El siguiente paso es esperar la respuesta de la embajada y cuando te pidan los pasaportes debes seguir las indicaciones que te dieron cuando fuiste a la toma de biometricos. Les recomiendo que dejen el pasaporte y que paguen el retorno del pasaporte y seguimiento se demora aprox. 10 dias utiles, despues de eso recibiran su pasaporte con la visa. Recuerden que te ponen la visa hasta la fecha que tu pasaporte se vence pero si estas con el pasaporte nuevo solo te ponen la cantidad de tiempo que vas a estudiar hasta esa fecha es tu visa lo que venga despues es renovar ya en Canada.

I will put this post in Spanish for many who want to come and have doubts or are seeing what steps to follow.

First of all, we had advice with a certified agency, we informed ourselves, we took our time and we saw all the options and we reviewed the budget several times.

We were unhappy with many things that happened in Peru, my husband was stressed at work even though he had a good job, the stress was taking its toll on him, and the body is no longer 25 years old, adults will understand. The quality of life more than anything is what motivated us, at first I did not want, because as many think, to start again? will we be okay? my family, friends, my life here made because at 40 years old it's ready. My husband told me let's go and I told him no, months later the story was different....

One day my husband arrived after work and told me, I can't stand it anymore, I want to go, let's go, his tone was not an order, but a request and if they had seen him, I just said ok. For this I had already been thinking since the first time he said it, the theme was to overcome the fear of starting.

We saw 3 agencies before giving a YES. The first two didn't give us much hope:

1. This was one that asked us for $7,000 US dollars in advance and we asked about the issue of residence.

I must clarify that all the agencies ask for your information to see which profile you fit best in, we filled out a form and they gave us two options: Come with residence in Saskatchewan or come as an international student.

We didn't like the issue of residence in Saskatchewan because of the low temperatures and we started looking and didn't see it as an option. They told us that if my husband studied he would get more than 28 thousand dollars because he already had a master's degree and it depends on the budget because they ask you for much more to support your family.

It would be better for your wife to study, they told her, she doesn't have a degree and a degree after school is more comfortable and you can work 8 hours with your English and she can work 4 hours after she adapts to college.

An international student can work 40 hours a week.At that moment we said no, because I didn't think so since it said who takes care of the girls and more.

2. The other option was a recommendation from a Peruvian who did his paperwork with this girl and it went very well, we made the appointment with her and asked about the Atlantic program and about Express Entry, this was different, in Express Entry We definitely didn't qualify for that, we needed to be under 39 and well, I had to have more studies than just intermediate English and commercial aviation, it's not the same. Well.... she said the same thing as the first ones, that I go to study and in a couple of years I can have residency, or a little more depending on the province.

At this point we both got discouraged, we spent a couple of weeks without talking about it, until I told him to ask him what we were going to do? and she told me that a friend recommended another girl who took several of her relatives to Quebec, we said let's do the last try.

3. We made an appointment with Yoli, the truth is that in an hour and a half she took away all our doubts, she told us why in the Expres Entry we did not reach the points, the Atlantic program, and then she told us how it was about the student , the truth took the blindfold off us and we realized that it was the only way and we began to do the accounts. Talking to her made things very clear for us on the date. We decided to do her paperwork with her, because she gave us enough confidence and security.

The first thing is that the college accepts you so you must have the requirements that they ask of you, these are different according to the careers and provinces of Canada:

Have the English or French language Level B2 IELTS or TOEFL test

Certificate and diploma of graduation from college or university or institute that you have studied in your country.

If you have a master's degree, present the certificate as well.

CV Curriculum, resume (only if it is postgraduate)

Birth certificate.

For the Student Visa:

CAQ To process the study permit in Quebec we must have this permit called CAQ, you can find it on the embassy website and fill it out, everything is clear, you just have to read it carefully. This has a price for each person who is going to study my case, it was my two daughters and I (my daughters in primary and secondary school and I in college).

Translated birth certificates of all family members (as it was in my case).

Passports, they asked me for the separate sheets where they previously stamped my entrances and exits to other countries, the agency that helped me put it in the file that was presented.

Certificates of studies, whether from university, high school, something technical, those papers are presented. including languages.

Economic income, at the time the visa is requested, you must be working, because if they do not see your tickets I have seen cases where they deny it, the rooting (properties at least one) car if you have it, that is important.

Savings We had savings because my husband is always proactive, and in our case we had to prove, because we were 4 people, it had to be more than 38 thousand US dollars (this varies according to how much your degree costs). You must show them in the savings account, I know that also in actions apart from what is in the account.

After this comes the biometrics, which are the fingerprints to see us in the system and see that we have no records, there they open a file of each one, they ask you a minimum of questions and they give you instructions for when they ask for your passports. Here it does not mean that if they are going to give you the visa, they only inform you in case they approve you and that data should not be lost.

If you're on the right track, it's time to do the medical exams, these are NOT done by the insurance you have, it's private by a doctor recognized by the embassies and that price is different from adults at that time it cost us S /. 800 SOLES was x 3 my eldest daughter who was 14, my husband and I. My youngest daughter was something from S/. 740 SOLES for being under 12. Apart from that, the x-rays and another test that would be something from S /. 30 soles each. The same doctor signs this and puts together a file and sends it to the Canadian embassy.

The next step is to wait for the response from the embassy and when they ask for your passports you must follow the instructions they gave you when you went to the biometrics. I recommend that you leave your passport and pay for the return of the passport and tracking takes approx. 10 working days, after that you will receive your passport with the visa. Remember that they give you the visa until the date your passport expires, but if you have a new passport, they only give you the amount of time you are going to study until that date, your visa is what comes after it is to renew in Canada.
