Houston is one of the least expensive metropolitan areas to live in the US. Toronto is the 2nd most expensive city in Canada. Hardly an apples to apples comparison. Furthermore, I don't think it's fair to extrapolate Houston/Dallas/Austin to the rest of the US. For example, you would have to...

Actually, I already received the CSQ. The CSQ is what is issued after the interview with the Quebec mission. I am now getting my application ready for the Federal portion of the process. I actually have two reasons for wanting to apply to Quebec. I am not a US citizen. I am from a Southeast...

Hey guys, I just wanted to share my CSQ Interview Experience. I'm not sure this is the thread to put it, but here goes. Before I start, let me just provide a little information about my application and timeline so far. Marital Status: Single Location: USA Points Before Interview: 53 Points...

Oh sorry, she seems to think new rules will be applicable to me, and that I would not have to update my file to change my AOT from a 6 pointer to a 12 pointer. My AOR was sent back to me on February 2013.

When I called the customer service person, she seems to think so. However, I am sending an inquiry to my lawyers just for further clarification.

Wow, I did not expect the developments to be positive for me! Worst case scenario is I am evaluated by old rules and will not be under a priority category. Best case scenario is I am evaluated by the new rules and lose my language points but gain points for my AOT and will be under priority...

This is what a lawyer wrote regarding this: "I should also explain that if we apply under the Quebec QSW program, you will still have the right to something which is called "Freedom of Movement". That right will be available to you upon the first day of your arrival in Canada. All Canadian...

The documents that you referred to mentions Preliminary Examination and not Preliminary Processing. Is the definition of Preliminary Processing and Preliminary Examination the same? Or is preliminary examination merely a component of preliminary processing. For example, a software bug fix...

I'll just chime in with my opinion. The law firm that I used to file for QSW is currently extremely busy. Reason? They're trying to file all of their QSW clients application before the August 1 "deadline". This leads me to believe that the Date of Reception is what is important as there is...

I'm from the US, and I applied around November 21, 2012. I got my AOR on February 15, 2013. Now comes the long wait for the interview.

It took me nearly 3 months to get my AOR.

I think that is to check after it gets to Federal not for the CSQ.

This is the response I got from the law firm that is handling my QSW case: There is absolutely no problem for you to visit.

I think if you get it back in time it will be really close to your departure date.

bouchot, what was your timeline?

I'm not sure if they "received" it, but it was definitely Delivered by USPS. They may not have processed or collected it until April 1.

You won't be able to track the progress of your Express envelope on return until the embassy/consulate sends it back via the post office. Until then, your envelope will not be in the USPS's system.

Oh, there's one more thing that I noticed. On my visa the Issued At field says CPP Ottawa which is strange since I sent it to LA.

I used Express for the return (back to me) and Priority for the delivery (to LA). I did not immediately send the passport on request. I think I sent it on the morning of 3/27, so it took 3 days to get there. They sent their package near COB (Close of Business) on April 8 and it made it to my...
