Federal application for QUEBEC workers from Buffalo, USA

[ton40]

Let me tell you what we did. We sent a letter from employer, last pay stubs and visa extensions. In the letter our employer mentioned that we are hired on H2B visa, the dates we started, the weekly hours, salary, duties and I dont remember what else.
Good luck!

Hi Fed applicants,

For those who immediately applied to Buffalo after getting your csq, when did you start working on your police reports? Did you have a particular strategy so that they were still valid at the time of fed application?

If I do get CSQ, I don't want to wait an additional 3 months for police reports.

Please advise.

Thanks, Q

FBI certificate is the hardest one to get. It takes two to three months. So technically if you need one you should aim at getting your CSQ and applying to Buffalo within 5-6 months from the date when you send your request to the FBI. So if I were you I would wait at least a couple of months after getting AOR from Montreal, a good time to start might be when you get your 'application complete' letter.

By the way, any news about the medicals? Florida, do you know when your package reached Ottawa? Our results have been there for a week now, haven't heard anything of course. Too early. Will keep you updated.

Thanks ans for your response! Trying to cut down "wait time" as much as possible. I think all of us with acquire the virtue of patience after this long journey.

Ans -
my medical results were received in Ottawa on 9/17. My online status is still "In Process" and haven't heard anything from them. Too soon though ... ;D Let's give them a month or two
will keep you posted

 

[ton40]

Hey guys! Does the doctor say if they indicate medical condition you didnt know about? And after it reaches Ottawa what happens next? Passport request?

 

[florida]

My understanding is that if there is something wrong with you they will call you for additional exams before they send it to Ottawa. They only send them to Ottawa if everything is in order. After medicals - passport request, yes!! Or so I hope LOL

Please don't freak out. It is very normal for them to take that long. As per my timeline, it took them 7 weeks to charge my credit card. As soon as your cc is charged, expect to receive your AOR within days.

Any news? ton40, any sign of AOR?
