Hello

We had a very unexpected letter from CIC today telling me we should continue with MICC in Quebec and we need to fill for the CSQ.
Already ? I am a bit confused, was not aware CIC would be sending that letter so early in the process, not that we complain however.

It's for your first stage. Quebec will look if your sponsor is qualified to be your sponsor and then send their decision to CIC and another copy to you. You just have to fill the application they ask you on the letter and pay the fee to Quebec, send everything to Quebec and probably, within a month, you will have the decision from Quebec. If they approved, it means that you already finish your first stage.

From the letter you already received from CIC, you shall be able to find sponsor's client number (on the right top in the first page) which you could use it to go online to check your e-cas status.

Good luck!!

Maybe but a conditional PR isn't a problem. They are the same as a PR just that they maybe revoked if you are not together. Finger prints are not a problem in Canada this is very easy to do just go down to the police station and they do it there. If you coach soccer or hockey you have to have it done. So no big problems..... I would like to see them get moving. The list is nice but we really don't know
how many people are just watching this forum and haven't given their time line. So there could be a few or dozens before us. Oh well like the weather not much we can do!

So did u done your finger print and send it together with you application? Why if a coach need to have it done?

No they haven't asked for finger prints we just sent police report from my wife's country I hope that is all that we need to do.
I think that most jobs that children are involved will require a security check here in Canada. I think it is a good idea to keep the
kids safe. (or at least try to keep them safe).
 
Hey everyone.. so today we had our landing interview! It was a lot easier than I thought. It was just a room with many people waiting to be called up to various counters where the CIC people were.. they called out our name we went up to the counter and she asked my husband a few questions.. he signed the paper and she said congratulations. That's it! She didnt even ask me anything. We then waited to get called up for the SIN card upgrade and that was it. I thought they would call us into a different room, but it wasnt like that. All the questions were done in the same room and people could over hear the conversation.

So in total this whole process was just one week shy of 11 months.. Can someone update the chart?: AIP and DM on April 12.. and landed April 24th.. now waiting for PR card.

Everyone else.. good luck.. and hang in there. It's worth the wait!
 
congrats Dee_Dee123!!! im in 5 mos of waiting, 5-6 mos more to go lol, congrats again!!!
:D

No we still have a long way to go! But Irishred is about to land on this side of the pond any minute now. Thanks for the chart update.
 
OMG...So waiting on "DM" letters that supposedly have been sent since MARCH 19th. Anyone ever waited THIS long for a letter sent within Canada? I'm hoping that this delay means that we will receive EVERYTHING at once (DM letters AND landing date).

CONGRATS to those who have been getting good news!
