Would anyone know how i would be able to speak with anyone at the call center? Any quick hints to be able to get through to a person quickly and not sit through all the press this and press that?

Thanks

What have people's experiences been with getting their license? Particularly of interest to me if you are coming from the US and/or arrived in QC. It seems that my husband will have to basically take his entire road test again? Is that correct? I was really hoping that wasn't the case...

Well, my file went to a preliminary review which takes another 4-5 months before I hear anything back. They said during this period neither myself nor my husband would hear anything from their office.

How do you know your file went to preliminary review! Also how do you know it takes 4-5 months. Can you share to us what your ecas says so we can compare.

Thanks in advance for sharing.

I received an e-mail from my husband Visa office on Monday saying,

I have a friend that works for an immigration firm who said based on her experiences that's the time line. And, others on this forum mentioned 3-4 months based on their experiences.
