Hi everyone, I got my CSQ approved and I would like to share my timeline (Nov. 2023 to Dec. 2024 time slot, not the new one opened in Jan. 2025):
- Applied for the CSQ under the AI pilot program (foreign worker, francization) on May 24, 2024.
- Received a message requesting for the Quebec Values test on June 4, 2024, and completed it about a week after
- The status changed to “En attente de traitement“ about a week after I completed the test, and remained the same since then.
- Received the CSQ acceptance message on Jan. 31, 2025.
- Received the CSQ by mail on Feb. 11, 2025.
It took about 8.5 months to get mine, and I applied for the (federal-level) PR this week.
I saw some posts about the status change on the Arrima portal from “En attente de traitement” to “En traitement”, before getting the final approval.
But for my case, it just directly changed from “En attente de traitement” to “Decision rendue”, so I think it depends on files.
I had been checking the status multiple times everyday, and the last check was about 3 hours before receiving the acceptance message.
I truly hope you all get yours very soon and hope my timeline was helpful.
