If you think she can complete the course before the visa office will ask for her passport I'd suggest getting it done now. One thing you wouldn't need to worry about later ;)

I got an email from Sydney giving me 5 days to get the CSQ to them or my PR application will be denied. I called Sydney & told them the CSQ has not yet come through and they suggested that if I don't get it in the next couple of days then the application should be withdrawn and resubmitted after...

Except in our case. We waited, and waited, and waited. The credit card was charged but nothing happened. Then I received a letter from the VO giving 5 days in which to send them a copy of the CSQ or the PR application will be denied. We phoned MICC. They had decided they needed a passport copy...

Don't worry about this. If you start worrying now you will be a mess by the time this process is completed. One thing that is certain is that the ecas is not reliable. It is not always updated - sometimes not updated at all throughout the whole application process. Our ecas, for example, shows...

My husband called MICC. Despite the application being complete they had apparently decided that they needed a passport copy. BUT instead of contacting us and asking for a copy, they just sat on the application and did nothing! He is now on his way to their offices, passport in hand, and they...

What name is used on her application? The passport must be in the same name. If you used her married name on the application then you need to get the passport changed to her married name as soon as possible. If her maiden name is on the application, leave the passport as it is. Make those...

Can you write this in English please?

I called the VO to explain the situation and they were less than helpful - suggesting that if the CSQ cannot get to them in time then the only way to avoid PR being denied is to withdraw and reapply once the CSQ is received. In other words, lose all the fees and start from scratch all over...

Thank you :-) There's nothing quite like a little stress to add spice to the day. I'm one step away from going into full panic mode.

I expected to hear about the CSQ weeks ago but have heard nothing. We've now had correspondence from the VO demanding that the applicant provide them with the CSQ within the next four days or the application will be denied. I need to contact QC and cannot find a phone number or email address...

It's already way past that for me. I'm going to wait another two weeks in case it just turns up in the mail and then we will phone them if we still haven't heard anything. Just my luck - the strike ends, everything starts moving quickly, and then QC slows right down :-(

That wouldn't usually be any problem BUT when you apply inland you are supposed to stay in Canada for the whole time the application is being processed. Leaving Canada can cause your application to fail. If you think you may want to leave Canada while your application is being processed you...

I hope they keep working at this pace (or faster). Quebec is taking their time and there doesn't seem to be any way to find out how long they are taking with applications. Mine is sitting in Sydney and will probably sit there with nothing happening until QC makes a decision. Once that's done I...

Maybe she didn't tell them that she had a husband in Canada? Applying for a tourist visa without saying you are married to a Canadian and intend to visit your husband *could* be seen as misrepresentation. I don't know - just guessing from what the OP has written.

Thanks Westie :-)

These are generic forms and you will find loads of questions to don't quite apply to your situation. Where a fuller answer is require just use a separate piece of paper to explain why you are answering a question a certain way. For example, where you need the dates of cohabitation, write...

There isn't any "implied status" with permanent residency applications unless the application is made inland. I presume since you intend to travel to the US that you will be applying outland - there is no implied status with outland applications. Since you are from a visa-free country there is a...

Where is the spreadsheet?

Expect it to take anything from two weeks to a month and then the sponsor gets an email (if you chose the email option for them to contact you) or a letter saying if conditional sponsorship approval has been granted. They will then ask you to send a copy of that letter along with your...

Thanks so much tabarnouche. Ours was received some weeks before yours but the credit card hasn't been charged yet. I guess they will get around to it sometime and its good to know that the norm is two weeks after they charge the card. Now, I just wish they would hurry up and charge ours!
