hey notoriouspk. yeah, getting the forms from MICC is taking a long miserable delay these days. We got our application forms (for undertaking and CSQ) nine weeks after approval from Mississauga, in late January. They had told me, at the time, there was seven- to eight-week wait. So I'd say that you should expect them soon.
As far as the processing time once you send in the forms to MICC - either 20 or 40 business (working) days. That's from the Quebec Immigration website, and from my conversations with agents at MICC. I don't know the specifics of your case, but it's 20 business days if there is no financial evaulation (spouse, partner, or dependent children). The 40-day processing is if your application requires financial evaluation - if you are sponsoring OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS (parents, grandparents, dependents with their own dependents, etc). I think the MICC is pretty good about processing within those times they post, but remember to allow time for mailing and such.
Best of luck! |

| i think the timing for PPR after the CSQ is approved will vary depending on which visa office is processing the application. |

Sorry, no guesses from me. If the AOR says the average time is 6 months, that is the closest estimate one can give you. Is the office in Islamabad processing your application? The CIC website shows that office is processed 30% of the cases in 3 months and 80% in 8 months during 2006. Six months seems like an accurate estimate. Maybe longer, maybe sooner. It's possible that the visa office is processing your application while waiting for the CSQ approval, and it's also possible that they will wait to start processing your application until after they hear about the decision from Quebec immigration. I have been told that each visa office deals with Quebec cases differently. Once the CSQ is processed and received by you, I would make sure that the visa office has this information, and then inquire on the processing time at that point. I wouldn't hold out on getting a straight answer about the timing, but at least make sure they have the CSQ approval and everything else they need, when that time comes.
As far as the receiving the the PPR shortly after the CSQ information is submitting.... generally, I think the answer is no. Is it possible? Sure. But since some offices (or IOs) don't START processing until the CSQ is received, then it is pointless to make generalizations about proessing times. And I do not know the procedure at the Pakistan visa office. |

So does this mean since we are filing an outside application for Quebec that this definetly going to delay my process by about 3 months so the normal 6 months wait time will not apply to Quebec applicants or am I being paranoid? We are going to send the paperwork in Mid May to beginning of June so if we are lucky Alain will get that packet from CSQ by the end of August and CIC won't process anything without the approval form CSQ first?

I don't know EXACTLY what the Buffalo visa office does with regard to processing our PR applications while waiting the approval notice from Quebec. I assumed the processes would run concurrently, but then I looked back at the email request from Buffalo, asking for the CSQ. It said "We cannot begin processing your application until we receive the CSQ." Does that mean they do nothing with the application until they get it? Maybe. Look at my timeline in my profile and take a guess. I don't know what it all means. I just know I do not yet have the visa and Buffalo has had the CSQ since early March, almost 2 months. Will the Buffalo visa office give any more answers about this - heck no.
So, Felisha, this is what I was trying to tell you before about the possibility going through Quebec adding months to your timeline, based on the current wait times we've seen and read. If Alain gets the CSQ and undertaking forms around late August or mid September, then you won't get the CSQ approval for about 4-5 weeks most likely... in early October to late October, maybe early November. And then you will be in the same place I was almost two months ago. Now, every case is different and these estimates are based on perceptions of current timelines and speculations. We all know that, but that means it COULD BE sooner or even later than those benchmarks. But that why I was suggesting to you to just eliminate the Quebec issues if Alain is considering a move to Ottawa and you want to settle there permanently. Of course they are no guarantees either way with the timelines - via regular or Quebec route - but all I know is that I now wish there was a way around the Quebec portion. Paying $250 extra dollars, more paperwork, and the additional wait for them to send the CSQ application forms - I would do anything to erase that part of my last year. But I had no choice - my spouse is in Quebec and he is staying there. I don't mean to attempt at fear-mongering to answer your questions. I know you have dealing with this heavily for the last little while, but I want to give you my honest opinion of the process.
All the best, JonJon. |

jonjon,
Yes Alain is kinda stuck in Quebec too for the moment until I can get PR and a get a job then we combine our incomes and move to Ottawa. I just wish they would get the packets a little faster than 10 weeks is all. So hopefully my March or April of 08 I'll have PR. We can only hope. This is so sad that's why we are going to try to go for a "visit" in August and hopefully get a Visitor Record if not I'll go to New York rent an apartment and work temp jobs til we can be together.

hi all. just want to share.
We passed our applications to CIC Missisuaga on 22 November, 2006. Quebec sent the CSQ forms in February 2007 (forgot when exactly). My wife sent forms for me to sign in Manila and to be returned to Montreal, which adds another 2 weeks for the documents to travel back and forth. My wife receives the CSQ on April 4 through mail.
And no news yet from Manila, which is getting frustrating.
