Hi everyone. Is there any outland sponsorship applicant here from Quebec? I need to know when I should send the forms for CSQ request? After receiving the SA? Or I should wait to receive a separate email for that?

I believe that either inland or outland, you still have to wait for requesting letter from CIC asking for CSQ, then you can apply for CSQ with that letter. Without that letter, Quebec province won't process your application. This information must show clearly in Guide. Have you checked it well? Anyway, I found this information on CIC web site:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5289-sponsor-your-spouse-common-law-partner-conjugal-partner-dependent-child-complete-guide.html#quebec
For OWP, there a few different OWPs, such as Skilled workers or st. The OWP that we are talking about is under sponsorship application which means if a sponsor withdraws the sponsorship application before Final Decision made by CIC, then OWP will be cancelled even though it was approved before. If applicants who applied inland have OWP before PR, they can work as soon as they get OWP by mail because they are already in Canada. Again, if applicants apply outland then they have to wait for PR to land in Canada; OWP cannot help them to land in Canada before PR.
Thank you very much for getting back to me. I just received an email tonight saying that I should be waiting for my file to go to the VO and then they'll send me an email so that I can apply for the CSQ. Thanks also for the information about the OWP. I think it's only useful to inland applicants then.
Sounds good for you! Congratulations! For OWP, you still should apply now then your spouse will have OWP as the same time with PR. I read lots of people here get tired of waiting for OWP so.
That's what I don't understand. If my husband is landing with PR then he can work full time anywhere. He doesn't nee OWP to work. Does he?
If he has PR, he can live in Canada but cannot work without a Work permit. You are a native Quebecois so when you were born, you already have a right to work without a work permit; but not us who are foreigners here, we do need a work permit to work here.
This time you are wrong, if you have PR, you can work anything you want.
What permanent residents can do
As a permanent resident, you have the right to:
- get most social benefits that Canadian citizens receive, including health care coverage,
- live, work or study anywhere in Canada,
- apply for Canadian citizenship,
- protection under Canadian law and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
What permanent residents cannot do
You are not allowed to:
- vote or run for political office,
- hold some jobs that need a high-level security clearance.
I also read it. But the point is when I went to Canada Service last week to get SIN, the woman there said that since I get PR card, I have to go back to change SIN number as it will be different from the one that I have with my current work permit. So I supposed that I still need a work permit even though I have a PR card. One more thing, as I said in previous comment, my colleague and my friend who applied out land (one not for Quebec - applied in Jan 2016; one applied for Quebec - 2013), they both applied for PR and OWP at the same time, and they got PR and OWP at the same time so.
Do you need to apply for a work permit? I actually don't understand this part much... Maybe applicant out land do not need to apply for OWP? But my friends still applied for it and they got it because of that?
No, actually I'm also a PR, and I know that I have right to work here without the need for having a work permit. That's why I was wondering to know the need for the OWP from the beginning.
Thanks a lot. I'll investigate more on this. Because in this scenario, I have to also apply for WP before I can find a job here. However, my SIN is issued after I landed as a PR. I am actively looking to find a job now. Haven't found one yet, but actually no one's told me abut having a WP yet. I'll do a research. Thanks for your time and comments...

I am so sorry, I just asked them quickly again to make sure if I'm wrong. And yes it is, I was wrong. They told me that they were talking about another case which was In-Land, not their cases. How horrible I was to get misunderstanding from them. I'm so sorry @Parivash_a. And you are right @Onceagain2step. I really appreciate if someone corrects some wrong information as from then, the next applicants who read these threads will learn right information in stead of wrong one.
P/s: Should I delete my comment with wrong information to help the next applicants avoid taking time to read it for nothing?
Thank a lot for checking that, and thank you @Onceagain2step for taking time to send us the links, and the information. You people are adorable. I am not sure about deleting it. Up to you...

Please let me know if I can apply for CSQ for my wife, looks like CSQ is faster !!!

Hi Guys,
I'm sponsoring my husband who lives outside Canada and I have a couple of questions about Quebec undertaking application forms:
1) Form A-0520-BF Section 3.1: Should my husband fill this section? if yes, he has to answer by yes or no for accompanying part?
2) Payment Form, Section 2 (Principal applicant): should I write my name as i am the sponsor and pay by my credit or my sponsored person name (my husband)?
Thank's
