No, what I suggest is NOT your IMC rating.
There should be no legal flight in IMC for non Instrument Rated pilot, only some training to make you able to save your life in case of problem, and of course recurrent dual training to maintain your skills at top level.
If you want to fly IMC intentionnaly, you should get a full IR.
You can't be half pregnant ! There is no "half IMC".
But everything was already said above.
Quoting a single phrase without really discussing things is useless.
And whatever, what will happen to the IMC rating won't depend on me !
This is just a "poor small French ATCo opinion".
For my TMA, should not be hard to guess, a French TMA which local radar approach, ILS, soon GPS approach, and plenty of G-Reg !
But this could have been asked a more polite way.
