    CSQ 2024 timeline - PEQ and QRSW

    Mine took almost the whole application (3 months). It only changed 1 week before it was approved.

    Likelihood of interviews for CSQ [PEQ worker-stream]

    Like I said, the interview isn't necessarily to assess your French. I don't actually think they would invite anyone just for that, unless they doubt the exam results for any reason. They would probably call for an interview to confirm your background, work experience, intention to settle here...

    Likelihood of interviews for CSQ [PEQ worker-stream]

    No. Why would you think that? If they invite you for an interview is because they need to clarify something. It might be for anything, not only your French. Make sure to focus and give a final push before your exam so you get a nice score and have nothing to worry about. Don't over think about...

    CSQ taking too long/ nothing has been requested yet

    So it took them 6 months to get back to you? Before you go pay expensive lawyer fees, you have to assess if you are eligible for the program. You don't need to be working now, but you had to be working when you submitted your application. Meaning that the work attestation that they asked must...

    CSQ taking too long/ nothing has been requested yet

    There's no temporary French test. Either you have it or you don't. You can submit new documents at any point, if you already has your new exam what are you waiting for? Just add it in Arrima, why wait for them to ask and risk even longer processing times?

    Student visa with family.

    To be eligible for SDS you must deposit 10,000 CAD, that's it. Any additional amount you put isn't going to be invested and will just sit on the account. You'll have to prove that you have additional funds in your local account but it's not mandatory to put on the GIC, that's up to you. And it's...

    Regarding processing of both SP and SOWP

    Did anyone got their spousal approval? It's been a month today for me and no news, raised webforms with no response. Sent an e-mail to my regional VAC that told me her application is in Edmonton. Tried calling to IRCC and only got the generic answer "there's no update, an officer need to see the...

    Entering Canada with a pending application using eTA

    Thank you, I agree with you. Our concern was not being able to enter to wait, so we'd have to find a purpose to go, but indeed it looks like an excuse. I still have hopes that they approve her application in time, let's see...

    Entering Canada with a pending application using eTA

    Thank you for your response. We are also thinking in registering her for a ~3 month language course, to say that she wouldn't stay in Canada doing nothing while waiting for their response, but would that go against her OWP application? In this scenario, can her OWP application be jeopardized by...

    Entering Canada with a pending application using eTA

    Hello everyone. Me and my wife applied for a SP + SOWP, I got my SP approval in January but it's over a month now and my wife's SOWP hasn't changed the status since we applied in December. We are planning to travel in mid March and we are already figuring what to do if the response don't come...

    After passing medical exam

    Relax this doesn’t mean anything, you’ll probably only get an update only on your final result now. Since that the deadline is over, you can try sending a Webform or an email to your VAC to see if they have any news. But honesty 5 days is too short to be nagging them, we all know already that...

    Is mentioning about PGWP in SOP a risk???

    You are applying for a study permit, so stick with the study permit, so maybe you shouldn't mention the PGWP, but that doesn't mean you will get rejected. You are being honest about your intentions, and a PGWP is perfectly legal so there's no reason to be worried for now. Since you already...

    Dec-21 SDS applicants, lets gather here!

    Yes we showed extra funds in our accounts in Brazil. I’ve seen people be approved with just the 10k GIC but if you can show more, there’s no harm in doing it, specially if you are applying with other family members.

    Regarding processing of both SP and SOWP

    I'm glad I found this thread, it seems that it's relatively common to not get the spouse visa at the same time... We applied in December 22nd and I got my SP approved yesterday but my SOWP hasn't even entered in review of eligibility, damn that's frustrating. I have raised an Webform and since I...
