Ottawa accepted my intention to live outside Quebec . Thank you everyone for your help, especially pepe84 (you are the man), formal_verification, mirzathegr8 and Dark_Diamond.

I provided the following:
1) Job offer from outide Quebec
2) Letter from my supervisor that I am expected to finish and finished all my course work
3) I travelled outside Quebec (to the intended city) - provided flight ticket confirmation - and that I participated in a workshop there.
4) A publication with the university that I intend to work at.
5) I did not provide a document for this but I said that I do not speak french (offcial teaching language at McGill in English) and I have never applied for CSQ (they can easily check for this if it is true or not).

Some other suggestions that I got or read but did not write in my explanation letter:
1) Show that you are already looking for apartments where you intend to live
2) Family outside Quebec
3) Bank account, properties outside Quebec
4) Emails that you are looking for jobs outside Quebec.

I hope this helps all the Quebec applicants.

I have a question, the acceptance was conditional: "However, please be aware that your visas will not be issued until you provide us with your new address outside the Province of Quebec. Once you move out, please provide us with evidence of your new residency in another province."

Did anyone receive something similar? and what can I provide as evidence? any suggestions please?

Thanks

Hi, Pepe, do you have any updated information about the tracking information? My tracking number is still inactivated.

Oh man, sorry to hear that. Can you still land? Or you are planning to email Ottawa?

 

[pepe84]

The tracking system went up again few minutes ago. It was down since noon (eastern time). Give it few hours for the next scan, also be advised that if any scan occured when the system was down, they may never show up in the system.

So frustrated. Our passports reached OTTAWA on the same day. Hopefully, we will receive our passport soon.

Hi everyone,

We received our passports on 21st of January, and landed on 22nd.

We decided to land at Peace Arch border as we already have US visas. We asked the officer about flag poling vs crossing the border and coming back. The US border officer said he could let us in if we want to, because we have valid visas, but there is no negative implications of refusal letter received during flag-poling. So, we ended up flag poling because we didn't want to spend extra time.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to PM me.

Best of luck to everyone
