Quebec Skilled Worker Federal Stage (After CSQ)
- Thread starter quebec100
- Start date
Hello!
Hope all keeping safe & well!
A week ago i received my CSQ (I was victim of bill-9 and had to refile my appln via arrima), however my employer had also filed for a WP few months ago and the work location mentioned was Toronto (i.e my employer's branch location in Canada). I would like to understand if me being a CSQ holder now would have any impact on the WP approval for a different location/province (Toronto, Ontorio in this case) or would it have any other possible influence in decision making..?
Is it fine to process a WP for another province when you hold a CSQ? Im wondering if i should talk to my employer to change the location or would there be an option to update location post WP approval ? Im not sure if there is an option to update location (possibly to a location in Quebec) while the application is being processed...if yes, how to do it.
Appreciate your advise or any pointesr in this matter! This is critical & urgent...
Thanks & Regards,
Sundar

Hello,
It looks like borders are being reopened to people who got their copr but didn't get to validate them yet, as mentionned on the government's website(under people exempted of travel restrictions).
Maybe they are planning to finally get ircc employees back to office to work on the applications?

Since This is critical & urgent... - find a lawyer for consultation, it's not cheap but you can find what is the best option for you. For sure you can not have two application on Federal level. CSQ will take minimum 2 years but since you are already in Quebec not a big problem. The only thing is you work permit - can you renew it? Can you work with Ontario WP in Quebec? I have no idea !? Can you apply for Express Entry in this situation?
Thanks for your response!
I'm actually not in Canada now (working from my home country). I was in Montreal when i originally filed for CSQ , a couple of years ago.
- My current employer filed for a WP (ICT) few months ago even before i received my CSQ, with work location mentioned as Toronto
- I received my CSQ a week ago and yet to file for my PR via QSW
- I'm would like to confirm there will not be any adverse impact on my WP(ICT) approval even though the work location has been mentioned as Torronto
- When last time my ICT WP was approved, it authorized me to work across Canada for the same employer (in remarks section), even though the work location was mentioned as Montreal in WP at the airport. So, im hoping this time my WP gets approved....and i still can find a project within Quebec, and allows me to change the work location from Toronto to, say Montreal once i find a proj within Quebec.
- However, i still would like to know...would there be any implications if i choose to work from Toronto during the interim, before the PR gets approved..
Please advise

Hi, if you follow the tracker in my signature you can see everyone's applications, and note that there are thousands in the same boat
I think that you don't have to live in Quebec before you get PR, in fact you just need to land in Quebec. If you don't have a valid WP you can not work in the country anyway. Since you will file only one PR application theoretically shouldn't be a problem. The only thing that bother me is if you install yourself in other province how the immigration are going to treat your Quebec PR application. Are they going to believe you or they will ask you to prove that you are going to move to Quebec? If you are well establish in Toronto why to bother to move to Montreal!? It's still Canada but the provincial nominees are yet important.
I'm not an expert, just thinking ..
Hello everyone!
What is the letter of " Intent to stay in Quebec " ?
Does it mean that you have to stay only in Quebec as a PR ?
It means you are intending to stay in Quebec and no other province. Your address once you arrive should be a Quebec address as you have intended to stay in Quebec. Since you are applying for a skilled worker in Quebec then this means you will have ties to Quebec.
Few of my friends with the same program like us landed at Montreal Airport did the final immigration process , gave Quebec address but took a flight to Other Province and settled there. Is this allowed or it's illegal?

An intent to stay in Quebec means signing to or “will to stay in Quebec”. I would assume signing on a declaration to stay in Quebec (Schedule 5) and going to reside in other provinces would be an illegal act. If however, you become a Canadian citizen then that differs.
Actually my immigration Lawyer few years back told me Quebec is a part of Canada, you are paying fees to federal government and you can move to any province in Canada. Could some experts give their input?
