Question #2: If it is, do I send my paperwork in to the Mifi?

A little more details: on January 19, I received a letter from IRCC with a PDF with a temporary application number, starting with X. In that PDF was the following paragraph:

Additional documents to provide
At this time your application has not yet been reviewed. These are common missing item(s) that often delay processing. If you have not already included these items with your application, please submit the following:

- Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ): As a resident of the province of Québec, you must submit an undertaking application to the Provincial Government. To download the required forms, please consult the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l'Intégration (MIFI) website at www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca (Sponsors and Sponsored Persons section). Complete the required forms and promptly submit them to the MIFI at the address provided in the provincial guide within 30 days from the date of this letter. Do not submit any of the MIFI forms to this office as they will only be returned to you. You must enclose a copy of this correspondence with your undertaking application to MIFI. If you received this communication via email, please note that another copy will not be mailed to you. You may print a copy to be enclosed with your undertaking application to MIFI. For further information regarding provincial requirements, please contact the Province of Québec General Inquiries Services at 514-864-9191 or 1-877-864-9191.

I sent that letter in to the Mifi (along with the Quebec paperwork), and they returned it stating that it was refused it stating:

Nous accuson réception de votre demande de Parrainage familial. Nous n'avons pu malheureusement procéder à l'ouverture de votre dossier en l'absence des documents essentiels requis, soit :

1. Une copie de la lettre de Citoyenneté et Immigration Canada confirmant que le parrainage est recevable ou une lettre du MIDI pour les cas CH2-conjoint /enfant ou CH2-ascendant.

So I am trying to figure out whether the email I received today was my AOR and if that is the letter from IRCC that "confirms that the sponsorship is receivable". In other words, should I send our paperwork back to Quebec from the CSQ?

Also, my spouse received the request to get her medical exam today. I have now attached her application to my canada.ca account, and can see that it does say that she needs a medical exam, so we went ahead and scheduled that. There is nothing about the CSQ in my online account. I'm not sure if I connected her paperwork or mine to my online account, or whether it is one and the same.

Thank you!
