Quebec Selected immigrants from the USA or based in the USA

[Johann Pimenta]

Hey all, I am a Quebec selected applicant based in the USA, I applied for my CSQ in November 2011 in USA and finally got my CSQ after 2 years in December 2013. I have applied for my Federal application in February 2014 and it is now with the CIO - Sydney(Canada) office and completed my Medicals in April 2014. I have not heard anything further from the CIO office since then. Anybody in a similar position?

Hi,
To me your waiting time seems just alright. If you have doubts and concerns you should either contact your visa office, or order a CAIPS report to see what's going on.

Hi Roman,
Thank you so much for your reply

I was just wondering what happened to my application. I am getting so many job opportunities in Quebec but cannot take them up as I am still waiting for my residence visa.
Thanks once again!!!!

The posted processing time for 80% of Quebec skilled workers at Ottawa is 20 months.

Hi PMM, thanks for your reply. My application is with the CIO office in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Why this is confusing is because, My application was received by the CIO, Sydney, Nova Scotia office in February 2014 and then in April 2014 they asked me to do my medicals. In some threads I have read that medicals are valid for a year and usually your immigrant visa is issued sometime after you do your medicals. Even my lawyer sent me a email saying that since Canada has asked me to do my medicals, your PR process should be completed soon.

This is what my ECAS shows as:

1. Application received in February

2. Medicals received in April

I cannot understand what exactly is happening. It took me 2 years to get my CSQ and now in February my Federal application was put in.
