Government Officials: Chalk and Courses

government officials: At the time, they were told passing the courses would help them obtain a selection certificate which is required to obtain permanent residency, according to CTV. Chalk said the courses could cost up to 30,000. David Chalk said newcomers to Quebec had availed themselves of a program introduced in 2009 in which they took the classes at schools belonging to the English Montreal and Lester B. Pearson school boards. According to Chalk, eight months ago many of those who had passed the courses began receiving letters and phone calls from government officials informing them there had been issues with their documents. Rather, they were given French tests. Chalk said when they met with Quebec immigration officials, the documents were never mentioned. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
