Federal application for QUEBEC workers from Buffalo, USA

[brebu]

Hello everybody,

Does anybody know whether being on the fast processing track (I think code 130 on the CSQ) counts at the federal level, or just your CSQ gets processed faster?

Thanks!

Hi Goofy,
Any news from Ottawa after Buffalo closing?

 

[speednab]

Just applied for CAIPS through caips.ca. hopefully this will let me know what exactly they are doing with my file. Its been 11 months since I applied.

Hi biochemgal09,
Have you received the CAIPS?

 

[speednab]

hi guys, i hope everyone is doing well, the waiting is getting longer and longer, now that buffalo is closed down, i have no idea where my file is. any idea on how to locate which office the application is sent to.

last month my address appeared on my ecas, how ever it is a wrong address, i couldn't find a way to communicate with them to notify them of the change of address. anyone knows an email or a contact number please let me know, it's been 13 months since i applied and no news so far.

Salam brother,
Have you communicated with Ottawa? is there any good news for you? Hope so..

Hi speed

Nope, i haven't heard anything from them yet. Makes me nervous thinking about how long it is really going to take :s

 

[speednab]

Thanks all for your replies.
This immigration process is so frustrating and has no logical time. I do not know what Ottawa is doing with our files now!
Best wishes..

Hi,

If you are a student or temporary worker currently in Quebec read this:
I was working in Quebec while my PR is being processed. My work permit was due to expire on June 13th and Immigration Quebec told me I would need an LMO and a CAQ in order to get a new one. However this changed on the 1st of June. Now workers/students who have a work permit which is about to expire, but have a pending PR application and a CSQ you can get a new work permit WITHOUT a CAQ & LMO.. The CAQ/LMO process takes about 3 months, costs around $364 and you might not be successful, so you want to avoid this process.

It seems they didn't publicise this very well, so unless you are checking the immigration Quebec website every day you would have missed this. I didn't find out about it until after I had already paid the $364 LMO/CAQ processing fee and and lost my provincial health care. Got my health care reinstated today and I'm trying to get a refund for the LMO/CAQ processing application which is still in processing but I don't need now.

Just thought I'd post this here in case any of you workers/students in Quebec have a permit which is going to expire before your PR is finished.

hi beakster, javascript:void(0);

yeah, i read this one a week ago....but it was to late for me, i applied for lmo/caq in march, but i still have no answer.
my WP expires at the 31st July !

I will apply online tonight, attach my CSQ and all the other stuff.. and i hope i will go at least for the implied status....my pr should be done soon.

I tell you, my boss and myself called at immigration to doublecheck the LMO/CAQ process, how far they are, but everytime we explained our situation, NOBODY told us this on the phone....

IF i get the PR done THIS Year, then i will get so wasted as a reward for all this paperwork nightmare....

You should be able to get a new work permit at the border if you go there with your CSQ, passport and a letter from your employer. I have written a letter to Immigration Quebec asking for reimbursement of the fees for CAQ/LMO. I think you should too. When they received your application they should have known the rules were changing and told you that at the time your work permit expires there will be a program in place to allow you to renew without a CAQ/LMO. If your company paid the processing fee its not too much of a worry for you.
