Quebec Skilled Worker Federal Stage (After CSQ)

[mriekje]

@mriekje.. go to "View submitted application" in GCKey and upload the scan copy they requested.There after your action is required option disappear. Sometime CIC people are funny. I got a letter to update my Schedule A 2 days after the due date on Feb 7. But I scanned and upload in "View Submitted application" section. They will verify your security question (just in case if you are not aware on it) while you are submitting to IRCC.

Ok so, I'm trying, but there is no expiry date on my policy certificate and this is a required field. How long are these things considered valid for, anyone know? I can just add that amount of time to the date of delivery....

.. you are right. there is expire date but as CIC only accepts pcc up to one year. I just put mine one year from date of issued, and worked for me.

Ohh! It says "submitted" now.

Curious though.. The one from the FBI dates back to September or October 2016.... They haven't asked for replacement of that...

Hi all,

I just recieved my GCMS notes and almost 16 months nothing has started on my file. I did the medicals upfront and paid the RPRF fee last year but nothing is confirmed as recieved.
Is that normal that nothing has started, backroung check, security, criminality, medicals nothing, all is on status NOT STARTED
Is there any applicant who applied November 2016 and has the same situation please? The appication status shows - In progress
I am outland applicant.
Any suggestion what to do please? what steps to take to make the visa office process my file.
thank you,

Just thought I'd share my flag poling experience with you guys:

I flag poled at saint-bernard de Lacolle on the 6th of March and became an official PR!, and in case you were wondering, you do not need a US Visa to do this.

However, I was asked to pull over for further questioning (maybe it's only because I have a Lebanese passport). The officer who did the questioning was very polite, and the questions were very standard (when did you come to Canada, where did you study, where do you work, when was the last time you came to the US, where did you travel to the last 5 years..........). the whole thing was over in like 20 minutes. After that they hand you a paper that you need to take to the Canadian side (CBSA).

After the questioning is done on the American side, they tell you where to do the U-turn and then you head back to Canada. In the CBSA building, everything went very smoothly. The entire thing was done in 15 minutes. They ask for your COPR and your CSQ and your proof of Status in Canada (Work permit, study permit). And they ask how much money you have available to you for the next 3 months, so it might be useful if you take a bank statement with you. After the processing is done they congratulate on becoming a PR and then you're on your way.

Everyone I encountered (American officers, Canadian officers) were very polite and courteous and the entire flag poling experience (including the driving to and from) lasted around 2 hours only. So I would definitely recommend it.

Best of luck to everyone.

Are you a regular qsw applicant?
What is your visa office? Some visa office are sadly slow maybe due to quota of ones nationality. If they have had enough for that year.
This can give you an idea of what's happening with your application

From the page "Eligibility which is above. Here is what I find out: when he/she marks NOT STARTED it means she/he did not finds anything alarming but the lead officer at the visa office needs to make sure that there is no concern.
Type: SECURITY
Status NOT STARTED means that security is underway and there is no sign of S.15(1) in the right hand corner "
