    Quebec Skilled Worker Federal Stage (After CSQ)

    This. It makes no sense whatsoever. If I would have been able to get a BWP I'd have been able to get a better job than I ended up getting because I'd have been able to apply before doing my interviews and start right away (which is what they needed). Well at least I found someone who was willing...

    Quebec Skilled Worker Federal Stage (After CSQ)

    Like I said, i'm not sure about the flagpoling in this situation. Apparently it depends on the mood of the officer you're dealing with and I did not want to take the chance. If you show up at the border and they say you're not able to apply for renewal at the border, you will have to re-enter on...

    Companies who don't sponsor work visa probably mean the LMIA which is very expensive. Make sure they know you are exempt!

    Quebec Skilled Worker Federal Stage (After CSQ)

    Your PR application and your work permit are two separate things. For your work permit to be considered under the LMIA exemption you need three things: a valid job offer, a valid CSQ and a valid work permit. So in this case it means you need to apply before your PGWP expires. Your future...

    Your employer can NOT cancel your work permit, despite what they may say.

    Quebec Skilled Worker Federal Stage (After CSQ)

    Hi! I've recently been in the same situation where I lost my job due to lack of funding (I'm in academic research). As long as your work permit is valid, you can legally stay in the country after your contract ends. HOWEVER. You can not work for another employer before getting a new work permit...

    Just transmitted my Dutch police certificate, which I ended up getting super fast despite the worrying email I got when I applied. Theoretically that was the last piece of the puzzle so I guess now I’m officially waiting for DM! :eek:

    Took them 8 days (6 working days), I sent my question on Jan 25th. I would reply to this message, but I'm not sure there's any point considering where it came from " CE CSC Do Not Reply / Ne Pas Repondre CSC EC (IRCC) <IRCC.CECSCDoNotReply-NePasRepondreCSCEC.IRCC@cic.gc.ca> "....

    So I just got this reply. I guess that mean I'm in the clear as long as I send it as soon as I receive it? Am I going to be contacted by the "responsible office"? Mmmmm :confused: --- Good day [my name appeared here], Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada...

    Similar situation. Sent: 10-02-2017 AOR: 10-03-2017 RPRF email 14-09-2017 Then I had that same message in ECAS on October 16th. And I received a new CSQ on October 30. (It expired and CIC had it renewed for a year) So in my case I think the documentation they sent me, they actually sent to MIDI...

    Good points. They do have a "urgent" option, but only for certain conditions, which I'm normally not part of. But they may make an exception. Off to open a webform...

    Quebec Skilled Worker Federal Stage (After CSQ)

    Hey guys, So I just sent my request for the Dutch Police certificate. I got an automated reply saying processing times are currently longer (4-8 weeks vs within 4 weeks normally). In the request letter I got from CIC it says they need to receive it within 60 days or "If this deadline is not met...
