Hi Monkeyfish,Monkeyfish said:I wrote Chris Alexander and tweeted him, and am writing the MP in my riding too. If everyoneb does this, it could help!
Hi! I haven't called CIC yet, but I thought they notified us Quebec applicants when it was time to go forward with the CSQ process. Do you know?Smsm81 said:Hi Monkeyfish,
Did you call CIC regarding your CSQ? Were you able to log on their system ?
Ok I will, and I'll call CSQ if I can too! Nothing is very obvious in this process except the fact that it takes FOREVER!Smsm81 said:Here is the thing; the process used to be that Applications received AOR with document to apply for or without the request but they receive it while after. Now it seems the policy has changed because Quebec immigration website state that we cant apply for CSQ before our application to be approved by CIC.
Maybe you should give CIC call next week to ask them about that
CSQ is the certificate we receive from immigration Quebec,Maybe you mean Immigration Quebec.Monkeyfish said:Ok I will, and I'll call CSQ if I can too! Nothing is very obvious in this process except the fact that it takes FOREVER!
Yes, I meant immigration Quebec, thanks. I have not been able to see my app on the CIC website yet. My file number begins with 'F', yep!Smsm81 said:CSQ is the certificate we receive from immigration Quebec,Maybe you mean Immigration Quebec.
We are close in timeline, were you able to access CIC website or not yet? Also the file number you received started with F 000 ... or with XF?

atticusfinch said:Hey everyone (esp. Quebec applicants),
Gave CIC a call to see how things are going & if they know whether the procedure for QC applicants is the same with all the extended delays etc etc.
I didn't feel like she was 100% sure what I was talking about, but was very friendly so.. I explained to her that previously (as in before these 2014 delays etc) , after receiving an AOR we would soon after receive a letter in the post to apply to the Quebec side for our Undertaking application/CSQ [ http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/immigrate-settle/sponsors-sponsored/apply/undertaking-application/index.html ], then that info is sent to CIC to complete 1st stage AIP.
She understood, went to check the details.. and I was told, we will be asked to apply to the Quebec side AFTER our 1st stage AIP, not before.
Now, I'll see what is said/if this change is true when I call again next time but if so, it's more frustration as Quebec applicants will potentially have to wait longer for insurance coverage/access to language classes/etc etc as they won't accept us till we have the CSQ ...that we can ONLY apply for if CIC sends us a request letter... whenever that will be.
..if only we'd applied outland! The joys of hindsight.
Check on line , use UCI # for log in, I had same situation I call them today and they say that email was send to me few days ago but I never received. Today When I check application status on line finally showing that they received my application so I guess everything is fine...I send application on 20 February 2014 they received on 21.Brazilian19 said:Hi, I'm from Brazil too. Congratulations for your AOR. As i can saw, many people who send their application after me, already received their AOR. I sent my package on 20th February.
Does anyone know the e-mail or phone that i can contact cic?
Thank you
