Hi Guys,

I received CSQ approval letter and Express entry ITA.
I am considering Express entry to apply for federal stage considering it will be fast. However concerned about CSQ approval letter.
Am I need to withdraw my CSQ approval letter to apply under express entry??

Please suggest your experience if you face similar situation.. I am now outside Canada.

Thank you

I am in same situation what did you guys did ? - please guide @Vishnutorres @arrayofhope

I already have my CSQ but not yet applied for paper PR (was not sure of EE invite due to low CRS so applied)
now If I got ITA in this CEC @75 draw then I think I can apply for EE and proceed which is faster that CSQ paper PR ??

I was in the same boat back in 2018. I will tell you what I did. I withdrew my csq, rejected it in effect, moved out of Quebec. accepted ITA and uploaded documents. It was very hard to convince immi officer that I was not gonna move back to Quebec. Signed a lease under my name, phone bill, credit card transaction proofs, etc etc .. whatever u can amass. within 2 months I was a PR compared to my friends who are still waiting in Quebec for more than 23 months for Federal PR -CSQ stream

Ok, thanks for reply @bradshaw
Will need more info though
1 - how do you withdrawl the CSQ? kindly tell me the process will help :
2 - What kind of explanation you have given to immigration officer ? is it EE immigration officer or CSQ officer ?

I am not in Canada at the moment just went back to India 2 months ago. EE CRS was low though but appear that now I will get ITA.

Thanks for your help!!
