No, yes, yes (in order of your questions).

No, and you assume wrongly: a lawyer can not do anything to override normal CIC procedures/regulations. An unfortunately, CIC don't care about human error on your part.

No. The 11/1/2016 deadline is for you to *submit* your application, not for CIC to process it. the Christmas break doesn't change that. Applications can & will still be received.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/quebec-apply-application.asp You don't/can't choose which country's VO processes your application. CIC does, based on your current country of residence.

Your question makes no sense :(.

If you are already at the stage of waiting for medical approval & Ppr request from CIC, there is absolutely no point or benefit in applying for QSW...

I'm sorry, I just don't understand your question.

1. Under what stream/what basis has she applied for an OWP? Given the information you have provided, I don't see how she's eligible for one? 2. You do not have to be in Canada to start the spousal sponsorship process. You can apply inland or Outland. You can even apply Outland while physically...

Depends on your province: http://www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/subjects/cards/birth_certificate.shtml

That's all a bit confusing. What work permit has she applied for? As the wife of a CDN citizen, the fastest and simplest way to PR is via Outland spousal sponsorship, as you state you intend to return to live in Canada. Your wife would be eligible to enter Canada on her visitor visa.

Well, there are several long running threads on the subject in the forum... Try here, for starters : http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/landing-in-canada-all-you-need-to-know-t36735.0.html

HUGE congrats, Sunshinegirl!! I remember how long you (& your employer) have been working on this!!

If proof of legality of work experience documents were requested for you spouse, and you didn't send them or provide a detailed explanation (acceptable to QC) of why you couldn't send them, your file may not meet the criteria for administrative review...

Because I'm a member and admin of a closed group where applicants are sharing the letters they are receiving from IMM QC. Not sure what you mean by "via email".

Minimum 10 working days. Could be more, unless circumstances warrant urgent processing. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/passport/times.asp

Quebec has an entirely separate process from EE.

Your employer needs to apply for the LMIA.

We shall have to agree to disagree: the process you describe just doesn't fit with any CIC process. To apply for a closed work permit, the applicant needs to have received a positive LMIA. A WP application before reception of an LMIA would be refused.

Under what grounds were you rejected? & on what basis did you apply for an administrative review? As a general observation: the administrative review can take a very long time. It may take a year before you hear anything more about the review.

Exactly. If a copy of your landing document was required/requested, and you didn't include it, then yes, that may indeed hinder your PRTD application. The one time (a long time ago) I applied for & obtained a PRTD, it was valid for 3 months. I have no idea whether that's a standard validity...
