 YD> Hello Allison,


 YD> Your previous message about Welcome to Quebec/repressed liberties said


 AM> See there schools now are no longer English establishments
 AM> and when they try to get any proof that they were taught in the
 AM> English school system they are told they have no records leaving them
 AM> with no proof. In these cases this is not fair.

 YD>   When you go to the school that shoudn't pose a problem. In the case of
 YD>   my wife for example, they accepted Antony no problem and since we
 YD>   could not locate the necessary paper (it WAS more then 25 years ago
  <g>) they then made us sign a few papers and they THEMSELVES requested
 YD>   the necessary information from the QC autorities.

My wife was trying to stress that the fact that most of the former English
elemetary schools in the N.D.G area are now French (MCSC) and since that these
schools are now French, the Government arbitrarily decides that since these
schools are presently French they were always French, leaving the people who
once attended these schools without recourse. The school commission refuses to
open their archive and it take a court order or threat of lawsuit to get any
kind of action from this. We know of more than just a few of our friends that
who have had this problem. My wife's uncle is a Principle and j=her aunt is a
Secretary in one of the schools. We also know a well placed person in the
school commision who can acknowledge this fact.


 YD>   Perhaps your friends are not or were not aware that they could have
 YD>   the school ask for the document themselves. Saves a lot of headache.

See the above.

 YD>   do not know how the system works. I'm not saying it's their fault just
 YD>   that it's not as bad as it looks.

 AM> Also alot of people don't have their letter
 AM> of elegibility,their parents had them but they either got lost thrown
 AM> away or misplaced.  The government doesn't issue you new ones just
 AM> like that it takes a while and alot of aggravating

 YD>   Yes that much is true, DON'T loose that paper otherwise it's quite a
 YD>   pain to get another one.

This is only in the case of those who have had these documents issued to them.
People from out of the province have more of a hassle trying to register their
children in English schools. 

 Another point would be the fact that American's who getr transfered to this
province are obliged to send their kids to French schools. Do you think that
is fair.
