I've had a lot of interaction with MICC recently and thought I'd share so others would know what to expect when applying for PR for Quebec. Once you have provisional sponsorship approval from CIC and the letter from them (either a physical letter or email, depending on your selection in the PR...

Woo hoo! ( I hope). Sydney has extended the deadline by two weeks. This doesn't put us out of the woods yet because there is every chance MICC won't have the CSQ to them within two weeks but it does mean I wasn't denied today. The left it till the last minute to advise me but at least I'm no...

MICC is not being helpful. They said last week that they would get the CSQ to Sydney on time but on Monday all they would say was that it is marked urgent but not yet done. They did say there was no problem with it but indicated that they would do it in their own sweet time and would not be...

I was surprised too, but this is the legal advice we were given :(

A judicial review would not succeed. The VO is entitled to deny an incomplete application, which is what this is until the CSQ is received. An appeal might be successful but would only put the application back into the process without losing the fees, however appeals take time and add a load...

He called MICC again. They would not let him speak directly to a supervisor but a message was passed back and forth. I still don't have my CSQ although they say there is no problem with it. Apparently, it is marked urgent but they will not give any assurances that it will be done in time. I now...

No. It's easy to think that everyone is being processed very quickly but the posted processing time for Sydney is 11 months. This means 80% of applications are processed WITHIN 11 months and 20% of applications take longer than 11 months. There are many factors that go into when an application...

Has anyone else hit problems with MICC not getting the CSQ done for weeks and Sydney saying they will deny? I've got one more day in which to decide if we withdraw my application and start over again. MICC isn't being helpful on the phone and its impossible to see them in person. After their...

Re: "Decision was made", "Medical results have been received" ??? But even strong applications can take a year or more when the processing time is 16 months.

Get that stat dec from her mother and gather every bit of evidence of your relationship that you can. It takes awhile to get it all together but, if you can, apply while you are still in Australia. You will need police certs from both Australia and NZ - the Aussie one is easy as you apply...

Re: "Decision was made", "Medical results have been received" ??? The posted processing times show that 80% of applications are processed WITHIN 16 months - that means any time from a few months to 16 months. It also means 20% of applications take longer than 16 months. Unfortunately, it...

No, your sponsor only has to provide the information that is in the sponsor package. If you read the guides on the CIC website and follow your country guide you can't go wrong. IMM 5406 is only in the applicant's pack. I hope this helps.

It's important to remember that the CIC forms are generic forms and every relationship is different. Having a honeymoon for immigration purposes is, in my opinion, a silly idea. Having a honeymoon because you want to share a special time with your spouse should be the only reason for having one...

IMM 5406 is for your family information. CIC want to know who your family members are so you must tell them. The additional family information is not related to who is immigrating with you so you need to list your parents and siblings. You need to download and complete the latest versions of...

No. Not everyone has a honeymoon. Where the form asks about your honeymoon just write your answer on a separate piece of paper and explain that you haven't had one, and why. This won't delay your application and is not enough to cause a rejection.

I personally think you are wasting your time if you apply for a Judicial Review. A JR is a legal review that can only look at the decision that was made. You must show the Court that an error was made in the decision, or the decision was not fair or reasonable. In your case, there was no error...

Does anyone have suggestions for cover while in Quebec? That site comes back with the message that they have nobody offering coverage for QC at this time.

The complete application must be sent to Mississauga since you are applying outland. Instructions are on the CIC website and in your country guide.

Yes, you can be sponsored since you are in a common-law relationship. Your marital status with your former husband is largely irrelevant to your current relationship. You mentioned your ex is trying to avoid child support. If you have a child with your ex you will need to sort out custody and...

@nervousme - I'm so sorry that you are having this experience. This thread is probably not the best one for you - I suggest you copy your post over to the spousal appeals thread...
