2012 Quebec Inland Applicants

[QuebecOkie]

Sorry, I'm no help. I even dug through my files to see if the landing letter had any info. It doesn't, just lists the regular CIC Call Centre number. Sorry. I've searched the yellow pages in Montreal and the CIC website, and all I can find is a physical address or numbers for MICC, not CIC.

1010 St-Antoine West,
2nd Floor
Montréal, QC
H3C 1B2
In-person help by appointment only. Once your application has been received, CIC will contact you to schedule an appointment if deemed necessary by the processing office.

Yeah, "in-person" help by appointment only, but no way to make an appointment. I'm sure that helps keep the workload manageable. Wish I could be of more help!

Thanks very much for checking, QuebecOkie!

Hi all,

Is it possible to contact the Montreal landing office by phone or email? I would like to ask them directly whether they have written to my husband. Perhaps someone who has received a letter from them has a way to contact them?

Thank you.

I'm sorry. They give us no phone number, no fax number, no e-mail address to be able to contact directly to Montreal office.

If you try to visit the office without appointment and to explain your situation, they might give you information you want. But I think it is probably little chance.

I hope you will receive a letter from Montreal soon.

Thanks to you, too, Tomorisu. Hopefully the letter will arrive next week and I'm worrying for nothing. I like your timeline (landing bientôt)!

QuebecOkie could you tell me how long, after replying to the Montreal Office, you got your landing letter

The reason I ask is because I've been waiting since the 28th October for my landing letter.

 

[QuebecOkie]

I don't remember exactly. When I get home, I'll look to see if there's a date on the landing letter. They called me first, because I landed at a "traveling" office, and they wanted to make sure I was available that day before sending the letter. I'd say it was around three weeks after they received my verified information. But like I said, I'll check my letter when I get home again this evening.

Bonjour!

I just received the letter from Montreal! My landing is 28th November! Well, though I need to go to Montreal, it's OK.

You must bring the following documents:
1. Your valid passport and/or
2. The original of your identity document(s) provided to the CPC-V or to the local Canada Immigration Centre
3. All your immigration documents
4. Proof of 'undertaking' issued by MICC
5. CSQ
6. You have to be accompanied by your sponsor/spouse, your sponsor has to provide an ID document with picture.
7. SIN card beginning with 9

About 2 and 3, what are they? I think 3 is visitor visa and OWP I've already received.

 

[QuebecOkie]

@jg84, I checked, and my landing letter is dated 2 Octobre. So about two weeks after they received my response to the request for information and verification. Tomorisu's timeline is probably a better indicator, as she is landing at Montreal, instead of my experience with the traveling office.

Woohoo! Congrats, Tomorisu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I took my visitor permit extension and copies of all letters from CIC. I think the only thing he asked to see was the undertaking (make SURE you have the full undertaking; it's the thing you filled out and sent to request your CSQ, and then they signed it and sent it back with the CSQ; it's several pages long) and my CSQ, along with my passport. I would take your OWP and visitor visa to be on the safe side, but I know for sure the undertaking and CSQ are the most important.

Sorry you have to go all the way to Montreal, but so excited that it's almost over for you!

 

[Tomorisu]

@ QuebecOkie, Merci! I've already been ready for them (Passport, visitor extension, OWP, undertaking, CSQ and my temporary SIN).

@ Jg
Sorry to hear that you haven't received the letter yet. I hope that you get it today or soon.

My timeline,
DM: 28 Oct
Letter from Montreal for confirmation: 07 Nov
I sent it back on 07 Nov by Xpresspost and it was received on 08 Nov
The landing letter: 20 Nov
(This letter was issued on 15th and was sent on 18th.)

Congratz Tomorisu!

We're still waiting for the letter as well. I guess at this point it's just a matter of time!

Hi all Quebec applicants !

I just pass the first stage of my PR.
I know I can now register to the Health Insurance Plan of Quebec.
Does somebody know how to do it ?

 

[QuebecOkie]

You must contact the RAMQ. The number 1 888 899-2121. Tell them you need to sign up for your first carte de l'assurance maladie, and they will take down your info and send you a form. You then take that form, along with the other information requested (passport, AIP letter, etc), to a Regie's office to enroll. Your card will come a little later by mail. Here is the Regie's webpage on enrollment: http://www.ramq.gouv.qc.ca/en/citizens/health-insurance/registration/Pages/eligibility.aspx

 

[lecoq]

For the health insurance in quebec, I don`t know where do you live, but I live in Montreal I just went without appointment and took with me all my documents, but the most important are the selection du quebec letter and the AIP letter, you will fill the forms and take the photo and from the date is stated in the AIP letter you will wait 3 months to be covered by the RAMQ, if after these 3 months you still dont receive your card and you need to go to the doctor or something, you are already covered and just need to call to give you a temporary permission or something like that but not before the 3 months date..

Hi all,

My husband received his request for photos and updated information from the CIC Eastern Region Immigration Directorate yesterday. It is postmarked Nov. 21, one month after he received his DM, and it was sent to our new address, the one which we changed with the CIC call centre about two weeks ago now. I do not know whether he would have received it sooner had we changed our addresses sooner, but based on Tomorisu's and MsJMo's timelines, I suspect we would have.

Happy travels to Montreal, Tomorisu! Are you making a day of it or just making a quick trip for the appointment?

@kanadskazena,
Congrats on your husband's letter! By the way, 'the CIC Eastern Region Immigration Directorate', it's not the Montreal office??

Though my letters were from the Montreal office, my landing place is not there. I'm asked to report to Service Canada in Montreal. I need to go there at 10:30 a.m., so I'll leave here around 7:00 a.m.! It's a one-day trip.
