I don't think being in another province is relevant to the federal stage. The only relevant things I see in the Guide des procédures d'immigration are these:liquid_lin said:Hi all,
I am a Quebec graduate, got a B2 french certificate. I applied for the CSQ around 3 weeks ago and still waiting for it. But I have a question regarding to the federal stage. I have already started working in another province (with my post-graduate work permit) for about a month, got a new SIN number, pay history and the like. I wonder if under this case, will I still get the CSQ?(since they do not ask for any work related documents or proofs, I only provided my Quebec address). And if I do get the CSQ, will it still be possible for me to get PR with the Quebec nomination? Or will they have officers specifically dealing with Quebec cases and eliminate whomever having a work history/current work outside of Quebec? Anyone had previous experience like this?
Thanks for your help!

Hello Aloy,Aloy603 said:Hi all,
I'm new in the forum, would appreciate some help and advice.
My fiancée (28 this year, Taiwanese ) and I (34 this year Singaporean) are undecided on who should apply for a student permit with the intention of staying on in Montreal for the long term and finally getting the PEQ/CSQ and PR and then citizenship. We've read many websites and heard many stories about student visas getting rejected because of age restrictions, thus we've discussed over and over that it would be best for her to apply using an agency (which specializes in Chinese applications, so we are unsure if the documents required from us are the same as those who are from China)
The thing is, on this forum, I've been reading up and seen that many are applying for the PEQ/CSQ by themselves, should we go through this PEQ process using an agency or should we do it by ourselves?
My fiancée completed her high school in Montreal some years back, would it be plus points for her if she were to be the one who applied for the student permit while I apply for an open work permit?
The whole process of applying for PEQ seems very complicated and daunting, thus we thought of using the agency, but we would like to try it out for ourselves possible.
We would really appreciate any help/advice from anyone here.
Thank you in advance!
I thought it would take 21 days as stated in the website.MauValmont said:I applied around the 20th. I still haven't heard back from them.
It says 20 days or less. It's already been one month and I haven't received anything from them. I know that they've seen my file because they withdrew the $773 CAD from my account on July 7th but that's all I know.boharj said:I thought it would take 21 days as stated in the website.
No! unfortunately if you're thesis has been written in a language other than French you'll need to take one of the needed French test to proof your French language proficiency.adas said:Have you already applied for the CSQ(PEQ)? was getting degree from a french univ. sufficient for application?
I think one of the requirements for CSQ is that you have graduated from a Quebec institution. You will need a proof of completion of degree from the institution before they can approve your application and issue you the CSQ. So, the answer to your first question is: as soon as you update with them the proof of the completion of the study program, you should get the CSQ almost right away if your file has been sitting in their office months before you graduate. But there is a risk: if the proof arrives more than 6 months after you applied, I have heard that the immigration office would refuse your application because it is not supported with sufficient document. And in that case, the applicant will not be able to apply for CSQ via PEQ anymore but will be invited to apply via regular and much slower path. (And no application fee will be needed for reapplying via regular path in that way.)YoussefZaky said:I have a question, if I apply for CSQ PEQ Graduate 6 months before my graduation, will I get it in 20 days from the date I applied or no matter when, I will only get my CSQ when I am graduated ?
And How long does it take then to get a PR ? 2 months as stated on cic gate or more ? Because I have heard that people get it in a year or so..
Thank you for your answer, I think it's better to wait 2 months before graduation to apply for CSQ.Smearingo said:I think one of the requirements for CSQ is that you have graduated from a Quebec institution.

After CSQ, whether or not it is through PEQ, the normal processing time is the same. We are all under the category of Quebec Skilled Workers. Currently the CIC website states that it will take 13 months processing time from the moment the application is submitted. Where did you get the information about "2 months as stated on CIC gate"? what is CIC gate by the way?
hmm application for PR is not the same as application for a PR card. PR is a visa, an immigration document. PR card is like an identity card, like Quebec medical card or SAAQ driving license.YoussefZaky said:Thank you for your answer, I think it's better to wait 2 months before graduation to apply for CSQ.
And check processing times on their website, it's stating that New PR Cards takes 41 days .. I don't know if that's correct or no because many people receive it after couple of months
