At present, we work with two separate applications, the application submitted to Immigration Québec, and when a selection certificate is issued, the client has to submit a new application using the federal forms, and supplying substantially the same information for the use of the officers in the Canadian visa offices abroad.
For some time we have noticed a better working agreement between Quebec and federal immigration offices, for forwarding part of the analysis already done. Unfortunately, unlike Quebec's program, there is a lot of staff turnover among federal officers around the world, but are businesspeople. They don't necessarily see a lot of cases and they are not always familiar with all of the mechanics. Sometimes, an officer will inadvertently ask for things again that were already asked for by Quebec. That is the business model we have to live with right now.
