1. No issues. A Canadian citizen sponsor doesn’t need to be present in Canada throughout the application process, unlike permanent resident sponsors. 2. Yes. As long as you are admissible into Canada (criminal record, etc.) You could even visit for over 6 months. This is called dual intent. You...

In this case it might just be a Quebec specific block of some kind. PA in our application is from the United States and we're still waiting on that medical request after CSQ was sent in July. I haven't seen any evidence of anyone with an outland application having anything happen post-CSQ from...

Just got mine too. Notes generated on August 7 and again on September 28. The only thing I can see that's changed - other than the note about my previous GCMS request - is our file is now a member of a Group that it wasn't before as of August 14 - Group Name CSQ, Status: In Process.

For many of us CPC-M is the visa office handling the file. Although traditionally CPC-M files were thought to move quicker than most outside visa offices, for whatever reason CPC-M has not been moving on these files and there seems to be a lot of Quebec applications having heard nothing since...

I strongly disagree with your interpretation, though I realize that it is the received wisdom on this forum. As mentioned above, what I wote is directly from the Government of Canada's own materials. Please also read the order under the Quarantine Act (I also linked to this) and tell me where...

You would need to provide a quarantine plan. You wouldn't need to stay in a hotel. The relevant order under the Quarantine Act requires a person entering Canada without symptoms of COVID-19 to "quarantine" themselves for 14 days and monitor for signs and symptoms of COVID-19 during such period...

Yes, the border agents can provide a visitor record for a longer period than 6 months at their discretion (and actually can provide less than 6 months at their discretion as well). No, she hasn't had to leave. When the extension is applied for prior to status expiring then you are on "implied...

Although I don't have answers to all of your questions, our situation wasn't too different from yours. I'm a Canadian citizen and my wife is a US citizen, we have 3 children and have been married 7 years. We were living in the US and a job in Montreal fell into my lap and we decided to take it...

I'm sorry, I really don't know the answer to this. More than likely you won't get a response in a timely manner with any kind of authorization. However I'd never suggest trying to hide anything from them. Perhaps a letter with accompanying documentation and evidence that you aren't abandoning...

If you are a Canadian citizen sponsor you can travel for as long as you want. However if you are a permanent resident sponsor it is required that you reside in Canada during the sponsorship process. In the latter case the usual guidelines I've read are a few weeks' vacation are fine but months...

Yes, you'll need to. I initially didn't pay (thinking the same thing as you) and we then later received a request to pay the fee.

This was previously also posted July 26. Perhaps I'm reading too much into this.

I think they probably do normally do some work, and probably the criminality, security, etc. portion did get ordered, but it seems like IRCC in Canada hasn't really touched paper applications since March, so there's just no evidence of any updates to my file other than registering the CSQ (and...

I ordered notes on August 7 after receiving our CSQ on August 3. The notes came back pretty quickly for us, on August 14. Unfortunately there wasn't a lot of useful information. Medical was just "not started" and there was no evidence of anything that is delaying the process other than just them...

There's no real way to answer that. I think it depends on the office handling your case and what steps are remaining. For example we are waiting on a medical request from Mississauga. To be honest I had always expected the CSQ requirement to be the cause of delays in our case but from what I'm...

I'm a Canadian citizen and my wife is a US citizen. We were living in the USA when we applied but moved to Quebec early this year. She's on visitor status while we wait for PR.

Seems like they have really accelerated the process lately. I posted this in the Quebec 2020 outland thread, but for here as well I received a copy of the approved CSQ yesterday. Here's my timeline: CSQ Application sent: January 24 2020 AOR: March 19 CSQ Approved: July 28 CSQ Received in mail...

Hi everyone, I just received a copy of the approved CSQ today. Here's my timeline: CSQ Application sent: January 24 2020 AOR: March 19 CSQ Approved: July 28 CSQ Received in mail: August 3

Wow! I can only hope ours is soon as we sent ours around the same time.

Sorry to say but you'll probably be waiting a while. My app was delivered at the end of January and I didn't get charged until March 19. This was even before everything slowed down even more due to the coronavirus situation.
