I am not so familiar with the terminology sorry. I called Quebec office and IRCC couple of times. Apparently, they are not in rush at all. I would strongly advice to get an MP involved if possible. Furthemore, consider a visit visa for your spouse. There is a special thread for it.

Ya there’s no way he will be approved for a visa and Quebec is slow but there’s really not much that can be done

Hey guys,
At which point exactly do we need to send the Quebec package?

I got the sponsor approval email that said
"We are pleased to inform that you have met the federal eligibility requirements as a sponsor."
I printed that email and sent it off along with the Quebec package.

Then a week later I got another email saying
"We are pleased to inform that you have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor."
and it said to which VO the application was sent.

Did I make a mistake and sent off the Quebec application too early or did I do the right thing?

Same thing happened to me. The requirement from MIDI is just a letter inviting you to apply for CSQ from IRCC, and since both letters include the same information and language I wouldn't worry about it.

Same here. I sent ours right after the first email I got since the letter clearly invited us to submit the CSQ package. I was also not aware that another letter with the VO will follow and got worried for a bit.
Eventually, I got an AOR from MIFI and the payment went through. I assume all is good then. I'm pretty sure they're able to see which VO our file went to :)

Yes, the same thing happened with me as well. As others have replied, I think it should be ok. Nothing to worry.

Hi Friends,

Could you please help me with the following questions ;

1. I am sponsoring PR for my spouse - Outland. I sent my application to MIFI on Dec 23 (after receiving the Sponsorship Approval from Federal). I havent received any acknowledgement yet and I provided the payment through Postal Money Order. I notice those who applied in December first week received their AOR in Jan end. Has somebody who applied in end of December got their Acknowledgement already. ? Please let me know or I need to call MIFI directly.

2. Is there anyway to know the exact status of the application ?. the ECAS service I believe is only if application with Federal ? Because I dont see any update in ECAS account after Sponsorship Approval provided. Please let me know of the method to track status of application. ?

1. As same as us, I got credit card charged on Feb 2, but not AOR yet.

2. I follow GCKey, ECAS and email for Federal. For MIFI, only one way is to call them.

The number is 1-514-864-9191.
I spoke in French, they answer in French. I guess they can speak English too. Try it.
I called there three times and got three different officers.

Hi all,

I am in the 2020 group and have started a specific thread for this: QUÉBEC 2020 OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP.
So, if you are also from the 2020 group, I invite you to go there.

*** I strongly recommend you to follow this 2019 thread. Specially if you are, like me, an early 2020 applicant. It can give you a nice idea of how it moved in the last months ***

Since the beginning I also tried to find a spreadsheet on which we could be following timelines.
I worked on an existing spreadsheet and adapted it for Quebec. No need to ask for editing grants. It is open for everyone.

Here it is. The QUÉBEC 2020 OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zVX9W_94tNWGcguNqfaZ8zLfZ5rWt7Y_S__wbD-GwfQ/edit#gid=437088381

Good luck.

The Department is currently processing applications received up to:

- October 9, 2019 for a spouse, common-law partner or dependent child;
- November 22, 2019 for other family members.

Wait time information is updated regularly.
I’m guessing by the end of March they might start processing December CSQ application.

As long as it is not after March I can try hang in there... Being separated for this long is cruel! They asked us a documents which we uploaded more than a month ago and LVO still haven't informed us if the documents we attached and that they requested to be uploaded by 10th of FEB on the PA's (My wife's) account is valid or not. Hope everything goes through correctly with CSQ.

The wait is killing me too... Don’t panic! As long as there’s no email requesting more documents just let them do their job and everything will be alright.
