<p>I live in South America and my parents can only pay the CAQ application fee through credit card. Can I use the payment by credit card form, or is it really just for quebec applicants? If I can't, what can I do to pay this fee? (My parents don't have any cheque drawn by a Canadian Bank etc.)</p>
<p>The form says there is a way to pay this fee online, does someone has any info on this?
Thanks</p>
<p>You can use a credit card from anywhere as long as it is recognized internationally, ie. VISA, Mastercard.</p>
<p>But can I use the form provided with my acceptance letter, the one with the Quebec flag on the top, or do I need to use another credit card form?</p>
<p>I applied last year for my CAQ from Venezuela and If I remember correctly you can use the form provided in your acceptance package.</p>
<p>Like others said, as long as it's something international like VISA, you're fine.</p>
<p>However, if you really need to, any major bank, even in South America, should be able to give you a cheque in Canadian Dollars. It might cost quite a bit (around here, they charge about US$40), but it is there if you really need it.</p>
<p>Do u all know if I really have to send my tax returns to support my parents financial capacity, or can I only send a letter from the employer and bank statements to support it?</p>
<p>You can send whatever you want....but from my experience, more information is better than less. It doesn't hurt to throw in the tax forms, especially applying from South America. As stated, the CAQ is not hard to obtain (although it is a hassle) but Quebec immigration wants to be sure that you can afford to stay in college and that you are planning to go back home when done with your studies.</p>
<p>what dates do I put on start and end dates of program, from Aug2007 to Apr2011?
Because I am underage, I need to send "a photocopy of a document that demonstrates that the person who is assuming guardianship is a canadian citizen" and "the original of a declaration of guardanship signed by the guardian in Quebec"...how do I get this, my parents send the letter authorizing the guardanship to the dean of students in McGill and then she sends the photocopy of her document to Inmigration quebec?</p>
<p>Help on this please, it is very confusing to me</p>
<p>With regards to the guardianship, McGill will serve as your guardian until such time that you turn 18. You should be getting a book about it soon. However, it's basically how you described it above. You'll send a letter to the Dean asking him to serve as your guardian for immigration purposes. He'll send back a letter that you attach to your visa request. The only mandate of this is that you must stay in residence until you turn 18. </p>
<p>Just one other thing, with regards to what mcgilldad said, Quebec really only wants to make sure that you can pay for college. They're perfectly fine with you staying after you're done, just as long as you do it legally:</p>
<p>Just wanted to get that out there, since it seems so few people know about it.</p>
<p>Forgive me for being paranoid, but could someone confirm for me that, as a US citizen, all I need to do to get a Study Permit is show up at any border-station with my CAQ, letter of admission, et cetera? (I have this fear that I'll be trying to cross out of the Upper Peninsula, and the customs official will be, like, "Sorry, but we only do that in Windsor...")</p>
<p>Er...there might be a problem there.</p>
<p>I'm not so sure about CAQ for the purposes of studying. But I do know that if you get a normal CAQ for the purpose of coming to Quebec to work (Permanent Residency), both Quebec and the Federal Government are quite adament that you arrive at a Quebec port of entry (Dorval Airport, or at one of the border crossings that go into Quebec). They may require it for students, as well.</p>
<p>Someone who's done the process will probably be able to tell you a bit more.</p>
<p>OK...so the first thing an underage student must do is get that letter from McGill stating that they will be the guardian until the student is 18.<br>
The second thing is....??CAQ,??? financial statements?????
Mcgilldad, are you out there??</p>
<p>I am here...thanks for your trust.</p>
<p>The first item you need is the CAQ. To get that, you will need to submit the letter of Guardianship from McGill ( if you are under 18 ), a copy of your passport front page, several passport size photos, the acceptance letter from McGill and proof of financial capability. Maybe a few more things, the booklet that McGill sends to admitted international students has all the information clearly spelled out on how and where to apply for the CAQ.</p>
<p>After you get the CAQ, you need to bring the CAQ, and all the original information to Canadian customs when you enter Canada to start your studies. One you have the CAQ, the Canadian study permit is easy. The study permit will ask you for your address in Montreal.</p>
<p>So, first you need to get that letter and make sure you have a valid passport.</p>
