Expired CSQ and visa issue

[rscapin]

Hello everyone,

My name is Rafael and I live in southern Brazil.

I got my CSQ (Certificat de Selection du Quebec) on August 21, 2003 here in Brazil. It was valid until August 21, 2006. Due to some personal problems I couldn´t continue the process until 2006. I entered the Federal Process at the Canadian Consulate on July 24, 2006 (before the expiration of my CSQ). After sending the medical examinations, I got a letter from the Consulate on February 2, 2007 asking for my passport and the payment of the Right of Permanent Residence Fee in order to get my PR visa. I have already payed the fee and sent the passport to the Consulate.

But today (February 23, 2007) an officer from the Canadian Consulate in São Paulo called me and told me they couldn´t issue my visa because my CSQ expired on August 21, 2006.


According to the Canadian Consulate, I need a new valid CSQ in order they can issue my Permanent Resident visa. How could I get a new one, valid for 12 months? Has anyone experienced such a situation?


On the leaflet I received with my CSQ it was written:


"It is not necessary to contact us if your CSQ expires before the
delivery of the visa. When the Canadian authorities are ready to
issue the visa, they will let us know and may issue a new certificate
to you, if the conditions that had existed did not change . If the
visa is delivered within the period of validity of your CS, this one
does not have to be renewed."


Thank you so much for your attention.


Yours sincerely,


Rafael

Hi,

Although it has been an old topic. However, I am in the same situation. Due to some personal family issues, I was unable to apply for Federal PR. Now I have finally applied my PR last month Jan-2016. And my CSQ will be Expiring in Apr-2016. I am still waiting for my AOR. Will it go through or will I be in trouble?

Very Depressed
ONly thing that is giving me hope is that in my CSQ it is mentioned if you CSQ will be expiring Federal Authorities will automatically ask Quebec to renew my CSQ.

Not sure What will happen.

I will post what happened to me in future.

My CSQ expired last week. I received my AOR email today. This is the progress so far.

You may have seen it in signature ... my application went through and I got my PR. A new CSQ will be mailed to you by MIDI but if you have changed your address give them a call to update your info for MIDI

I had applied for a CSQ in 2011 and got a rejection in 2014 since I missed the deadline and they didn't receive my documents on time. Now I'm applying for FSW through EE.

My CSQ expired on June 12, 2017... I've not received any contact from them so far... I got my AOR on March 10, 2017...

My address is still the same and all other pieces of information!

What do you recommend me to do, @srm057 ? Do I wait for them?

Thanks for ur support... I'm kinda scared!

Sit tight and wait patiently. There is nothing to worry about. I was in similar situation last year.

As they have received your complete application before CSQ expiry, they will process your application normally and send you the CoPR.

Once you get your CoPR, send a letter to Qurbec immigration for Attestation of CSQ.
You can request for new CSQ for landing with a copies of old CSQ, PR visa and CoPR. They will send a new CSQ in a month.

Then you just go out of Canada and come back with a big smile on your face.

How is that Letter for Attestation of CSQ?

Is there any instructions? Can't I request my new CSQ by just sending them an email or do I have to send a formal letter (paper) by courier to them (more $$$)??

I am confused...

Thanks again for replying!!!

Letter of Attestation (as they call it) is just a formal letter asking for your new CSQ once you have your CoPR. You will have to send it to them via mail. There is no other way.
