So happy to see this thread... I have been living in Quebec, Canada since December, 2015. My visitor record is good until March 30th, 2018. My common law girlfriend and I applied for spousal sponsorship (which they recieved on Febuary 6th) got our request letter on Febuary 21st. sent in background, Schedule A and, paid for and sent Quebec CSQ. Recieved our Undertaking and my CSQ on April 12th. Only thing left i suppose to do is the medical? But then again who knows. Now we are just playing the waiting game. I am super happy but since i applied for a open work permit I want to work so badly and it kills me i can`t to help support my partner and two kids. It actually makes me angry seeing people get an OWP before me but I am so happy for them at the same time knowing what all of us go through. I am beyond greatful Canada doesn`t treat my partner and I differently as we have a 16 year age difference but we made concrete evidence as i`m only from the United States but we`ve known each other for years. If anyone has any cope skills please feel free to help me out hahahaha. I`m so blessed to be here but the process takes so very long. Sorry for writing a novel had to vent like everyone else here. I wish everybody the best of luck as it is so stressful (so very stressful) and cost a lot of money specially if you live in Quebec like me.
