I called IRCC today and they confirmed that they have received my husband’s CSQ, yay! Just unsure of the actual date it was approved because of the Canada Post Strike and I didn’t think to ask. And he told me that they have been working on his Background Check and his Criminality his approved, so it seems they kept working on his file even though MIFI hadn’t finished their check. So things are moving
may I ask what is the IRCC number you used? I want to check with them also.Thanks! The number is 1-800-242-2100, press 1 and then input your UCI number followed by # when prompted, then press 1 to confirm, and without waiting, press 340 to connect to an agent. You may have to press 340 a couple of times but it eventually connects. Use the callback option if they offer it so you don’t have to wait on the line.Congrats!
When I applied for PR on Nov 9, 2023 the wait was listed as 24 months. You can see in my signature what my full timeline looks like. I'm at the stage where all I am waiting on is COPR and I have met the reqs for it since June 2024. From what I can tell people who applied in Spring 2023 are currently receiving their PR in 18-20 months, so if that trend continues, then mine would arrive sometime between May and July 2025.
Only took 6 days for me once they accepted payment, but that was before all of this strike business. The strike is officially over as of tomorrow (Tues Dec 17), so anything stuck in the post should start moving again at that point. I would say give it 7-14 days for you to get the physical letters. Congrats on having a completed CSQ application accepted for review! ^^
Oh wow thanks. I just sent my application at the end of last month so I'm curious and also stressful (due to the quota by Quebec). I was ready for at least 3 months of waiting.
If anything was missing they would not have accepted payment to review the application and instead just sent it back as incomplete. Since you see that they accepted your payment method, that means all necessary documents have been appropriately included for their review. At this stage, your application will either be accepted or declined due to ineligibility. The tough part of it is done, and I'm sure there's no reason to think that your application would be rejected, so you should hear back on it in the postal mail soon!
I came here just wanna say I am on the same boat, I am so frustrated to wait this. I thought I am gonna get it max within 15 months, as it shows 12 months when i applied. Now still stuck on back ground check. Quebec is so sick.
I am confused, you got your CSQ? If so, MIFI’s part is over, it’s all in IRCC’s hands now.. That’s my understanding anyway (which was also confirmed to me but an acquaintance that works at IRCC processing PR applications).
Yes, that used to be true as Quebec had a yearly quota which was often reached within the first few months of the year. But I believe that since June 26, 2024, when Quebec imposed a quota of around 10k applications for the next 2 years for sponsorships, as long as your application got in before this 10k cap is reached, no file should be left sitting in a pile on the desk of an officer. This is just what I think, I have not received confirmation from anyone of my theory.
I think this will hopefully be true very soon once they make more progress through the backlog due to the new CSQ quotas, but it seems that right now there's still quite the backlog, as I've seen folks posting about getting these messages about the quotas from IRCC relatively recently in a FB group I'm in! But there seems to be no rhyme or reason behind why some people wait longer than others - my friend got their sponsorship PR in Quebec within 9 months last year, so who knows!
Oh that‘s a bummer, let’s keep our fingers crossed! Yeah, that’s absolutely true, no rhyme or reason in this whole process at all… We seem to have similar timelines
