Hello everyone it's a pleasure to find this topic, because I'm tired of freaking out alone about the processing
Here's my story:
My fiancee applied for me under conjugal partner on Feb. 16th 2012, in Quebec. We've been together since Sept 2010, I met him while I was visiting Canada. After my TRV expired I was suppose to return to Canada in a few months, but the surprise was my TRV applications were refused every time (I had 3 invitations from my boyfriend, my uncle, my grandmother in June, July and August). The mistake was mine because I only had 1 month at my new workplace after months of unemployment since I was in Canada for the winter. We realized that was not an option anymore so we decided to apply for my residency. Meanwhile he came to visit me in Oct 2011 and April 2012.
Now we are waiting for the sponsor approval, but so far he didn't receive any confirmation that they have the application. Maybe with a little bit of luck they will process it in a week or two. And maybe with a lot more luck they won't deny my application because we were too lazy to plan a wedding here while he was visiting me.
I'm confused about the steps to follow for Quebec: After receiving the sponsor approval, does the processing time for my application start (the times from Step 2) or first I have to wait for the CSQ and only after they will send it to the visa office here?
Thank you and Good Luck to everyone!
