Hi there missmini,
Just thought i'd give you an update as to the progress of the CSQ.
My timeline for the CSQ is as follows:
May 3rd sent CSQ
May 4th Montreal office received CSQ
May 8th Montreal office charged credit card and processed payment
May 18th Montreal office sent out CSQ letter
May 23 my sponsor received CSQ approval letter
The date on the CSQ Certificate is dated May 15th.
CIC-M received our whole package on 23rd Jan.
Sponsorship approved on 28th April.
Just to give you an idea on my timeline.
My sponsor sent me the CSQ documents as pdf attachements and I emailed them to the Sydney office to save time. Sydney emailed me back saying they have received them and it is sufficient for now and that if they need the original CSQ they will notify me in due course. I don't know why they would want the originals but anyway.
How's your french going?. I have been so busy with so many things lately it's hard to find the time, but I do want to learn french of course!. I'll check out those online french courses too. I have a french learning program at home on the computer which is excellent, so yeah that helps.
So hopefully it's not too much longer to wait till a decision is made, this is the big step and I hope you gets yours too really fast and everyone else for that matter.
It's been quite a long time since I last saw my wife so I'm really looking forward to seeing her again. The hardest part will be leaving my family and friends behind but that's just life I guess, you do what you have to do and embrace the future. I have relatives in the USA and Canada and of course my wife so that's still good
