Tangential question, > my passport and only citizenship are American If you have American citizenship, why bother with the pain of going thru Quebec to be a Canadian resident ? Are you currently on TN visa ?

CIC uses CanadaPost to post the PR card :) . For international posts, its better to use likes of UPS or Fedex for tracking as they are responsible for end to end.

Anecdotally, one of my friend in the US (H1B visa) did that. He landed in Quebec and gave my Quebec address for the PR card and went back to the US. When I got his PR card in my mailbox, I sent him via Fedex. He is now happily settled in Alberta. Never even stayed for a week in Quebec lol.

Thanks to the new CAQ government for all these delays at Federal stage. Seems like they are totally against immigrants and want to stop it somehow. But in Federal stage all what the Quebec government can do is to cut down the intake quotas so that Federal processing takes longer and longer and...

@Ghostrider0789 Why did your AOR take that long ? Application received : 07 August 2018 AOR: 16 March 2019

So you applied when processing time was 17 months. It is 22 months now. But your estimated completion date is advanced by 2 months only. My completion date is also advanced by 2 months only. The math is not right when we compare it 17 -> 22 months should be advanced by 5 months instead of 2. I...

@Maxsharma12 What is your current estimated completion date ? Is it still April 07,2020. ?

I think nowadays the trend for medicals is towards the end of the estimated processing time.

Try Costco or Walmart, they are eager to offer credit cards without much questions. (I am not sure if they will do a hard credit check, which if they do will ding your credit but you dont have any credit history anyway :D)

> Does anyone know what reasons are behind the continuous delays CAQ government is anti immigrant and they cut down Federal Quota for skilled immigrants by 20%. Thats why the delays shot up from 17 months to 22 months currently. > And as a temporary resident, I feel my life here is precarious...

Thanks for the inputs. How do you feel about the behaviour towards immigrants in Quebec when compared to Ontario ? (Probably subjective & depends on the skin color AFAIK. No obligation to answer this.) When it comes to expenses, can you clarify more on this. The context is about high skilled...

I am past the danger zone. But CAQ can cut Federal quotas so they can increase the current delays of 22 months, but highly unlikely as they have cut quota recently. This thread is for those who are planing to move to Québec as a skilled temporary worker or as an economic immigrant. See the...

You are still saying "immigrants" while I talk about "highly skilled economic immigrants" Highly skilled economic immigrants have language skilled already tested by IELTS and will have a college degree with years of experience. So lets talk about them. You are just generalizing "If people want...

> not sure about logic of your long post regarding Quebec etc. There are many companies in Quebec actively trying to recruit talent from abroad using LMIA temporary work permit because there is an acute shortage of skilled workers in Quebec. The point of my post is an advice to those who are...

> harping on and on and on like a broken record Many people in this forum who got burned by Quebec Bill 9 and Bill 21 agrees with my opinion though. But you are free just like me to say your opinions. > Don't people do there homework before moving ? Yes they do. I believe this discussion will...

Its just a reminder to high skilled immigrants in US or in other countries that if they get a job offer in Quebec, they should let it pass. I know many foreign temporary skilled workers who came on LMIA based work permit and got trapped including me. So my post is an advice for all them...

Do you think being fluent in French will make a non white immigrant a first class citizen in Quebec ? Forcing anything down the throat is never beneficial to either parties.

Even learning French will not get you far in Quebec if you are not pure laine or your last name is not Tremblay. You will always be second class in Quebec no matter what. Thats the mentality of the people of this province. May I remind you that we are talking about "high" skilled immigrants who...

Just In today: Quebec National Assembly could re-open Bill 101 https://globalnews.ca/news/5860241/quebec-national-assembly-bill-101/

A befitting reply to Mad Max's immigrant bashing rhetoric sign board. Its no wonder coming from a Quebec politician. NS is now on damage control mode.
