Re: Send a copy of my old passport?
What is your reason for applying to Quebec? Do you speak French? Without fluent (or close to fluent) French you have no chance with Quebec as skilled worker. What about your occupation and training - on the Quebec priority list? Do you have enough points? Arranged employment in Quebec?
Not as easy as everyone thinks. Especially now when federal rules got tougher Quebec is getting flooded with skilled workers applications. Processing times before federal change went already from under 12 months to well over a year. Now they will go through the roof.
Applicants from French speaking countries have it easier and get priority treatment in skilled workers category in Quebec. The rest gets refused at a huge rate or waits forever.

BIQ Damascus is not scheduling currently any interviews for applicants from Bahrain, Egypt, Gaza, Kuwait City, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Western Sahara, while interviews for applicants from Algeria for example are at present being scheduled for cases submitted in September 2007 (yes, 3 years ago). I wouldn't be too optimistic about your chances for any decent timeline. Unfortunately Quebec is very picky who they want to grant the interview and when. Good luck anyway. Looking for job in Quebec would be a good idea.
