Myself and my common-law spouse have submitted all documents 2 months ago to process the CSQ (Quebec Skilled Workers Program), it is currently "en traitement" (in-progress). Yesterday, we received an ITA in Express Entry through the FSWP. We have a few questions at this stage:
- Can we accept the ITA and start the IRCC PR process with the CSQ process going on? Our understanding is that CSQ is not an immigration process rather a provincial vetting so there should not be an issue with the federal immigration.
- Do we need to do something once eventually the CSQ comes through not to be in trouble with immigration later on? Can we just ignore it and not start the federal stage, or do we need to actively do something or communicate our intentions to any authorities? We understand that intent to reside in the Quebec province is crucial to apply for the CSQ so we wouldn’t want to have an issue with immigration later on as far as our intentions are concerned.
- Is it correct that once we start the IRCC process with this ITA, we can’t decide later on to continue with the Quebec federal stage as we can’t have 2 different profiles within the IRCC system? Meaning that going on with the ITA means effectively giving up Quebec?
Thanks everyone!
