nee_p All of the answers above are correct. If you visit the link that Bs65 provided, you'll see it mentions at the bottom that you need to hold a valid study permit and apply for PGWPP before its expiry. So long as you do, you're entitled to stay and wait on their decision.

Hello everyone, I'm seriously considering moving from Montreal to Toronto to get a new job. I currently work full-time and rent an apartment. I see several challenges in moving to a different city and province. First, employers favor local applicants. That means I will first have to move in to...

Hi Sam, Sorry for a late reply, I never got any email notifications, and I just saw your post. 1. Depends on the Cegep. If you go to an English Cegep, like Dawson, Vanier, or Abbott, then you don't need French. The language of instruction is exclusively English. Basic/intermediary French will...

Hey folks, at least I find it reassuring that there are other people in the same boat... So our case is not unique, it turns out. I have heard it might take 90-120 days (not sure inland or outland), but then other people would say the AOR comes after 2 months. Hope to see others join in this thread.

I submitted an application for permanent residence under the Quebec Skilled Worker class in mid June and still hasn't had any AOR (acknowledgement of receipt). It's been almost 3 months and I am starting to get worried. Is it normal that it takes so long for the government to get back to you...

You can work full time or otherwise as long as you have a valid authorization to do so. Be it a study permit with a confirmation to work off-campus or some other work permit that you received in the past.

Hey folks, Great thread, thanks to everyone for participation! For those that are wondering about mail... I got an update Aug. 16, got an electronic message Aug. 17, and the actual letter arrived to my home around Aug. 24. So it does take around a week or so; and I live in Montreal, QC, whereas...

They say a letter would be sent for AOR, so I assume they meant snail mail. And I tried that trick (as described in post #1), but the system doesn't accept my info. It's just weird that it takes so long for them to start processing, and you end up worrying if your documents have actually reached...

Unbelievable. Imagine you moved out to a different province. What would you do? Go back to your old address every week just to find that nothing arrived in several months? And worse, you can't check it online.

Has anyone had trouble receiving the acknowledgement of receipt for their Permanent Residence application in Quebec? I applied in mid-June and haven't received any confirmation yet in more than 2 months. Moreover, I tried to update my address online because I moved out, and their system can't...

Thanks, TheHaiderRaja. That clears things up. Hopefully they will send out our permits soon; it seems like you can't apply for TRV or renew your SIN without the permit.

Hey folks, I applied on June 1, got an update on August 16, and got approved shortly after on August 16. Those that got approved, how soon did you get the actual permit by mail? How long did it take after your status changed to "Approved" online? Also, anyone knows if you have to send your...

See, I found that too, and I do satisfy all the conditions there... But it doesn't mention anything about the expiring study permit / temporary resident visa. So my question is more like, if they expire, are you still legally allowed to stay and work? Or do you have to leave the country because...

I applied for a PGWPP online on June 1, as soon as I got hold of my transcript. The status is still "Submitted", but the problem is my study permit and temporary resident visa expire by the end of August. I really hope to hear from them asap, because there's not much time left... But in case...

Alright, so I received my CSQ and I want to share my exp. as a way of giving back to this community... For any students in doubt, you certainly can (and I would say should) apply for the CSQ before finishing your college. Take the latest transcript and send it over with the rest of the docs...

There's a section on page 3 called "Details of intended work in Canada". If I am applying for a PGWP and I currently hold an off-campus job (have had it for 1+ year), do I need to fill out this section, including employer, address, job title? The Instruction Guide says that you would put info...

I just found out from MIDI's Create your future in Québec after your studies, that the decision about CSQ will be made when you present either (a) diploma, or (b) attestation of successful completion, or (c) transcript of final marks. The transcript isn't mentioned on the official website...

Hi! Anyone applied for CSQ as a graduate? Did you wait until you received your diploma or did you just send your final transcript (AND some other document, like confirmation or letter)? Please let me know!!

Hey baldalloj, I think that CSQ (through PEQ) is trickier: you can apply 6 month before you get your diploma OR the so-called "attestation of successful completion", and you need either of them to actually get your CSQ. So, seems like the diploma is not mandatory. In comparison, if you apply...

Does anyone have any info on this? It'd be much appreciated...
