Did you send your medical and RFRF fees upfront? If no then you must request your GCMS notes for your application as you must have got some updates.
 
Hello, I am new to this forum but pretty far along in my federal PR application process (completed the medical exam Nov. 3 2016). I've confirmed that CIC received my medical results but have not yet received any further communication from them.

I've got a question about language requirements: In the event that I am selected for an interview at the federal level, I understand that I can do it totally in English. I'm concerned, though, that if/when I go to "land" at the border in QC and officially claim my status, that an immigration officer might expect to communicate with me in French.

My writing/reading in French is fine, but I'm gravely out of practice with speaking--my proof of language proficiency that got me my CSQ was having passed advanced french courses at my university back in 2010. If I can't improve on my conversational french in time for landing at the border, is there a possibility that the immigration officer assisting me at the border could deny my residency because they're not convinced I meet the language requirement? Or is the proof of language proficiency in the form of my CSQ enough, no matter how bad I sound when I get there?

Obviously, I want to improve my french since I intend to settle in Montreal, but I have a job lined up with an English speaking employer so I don't have a real urgency to perfect it other than if interaction with an immigration officer requires it.

Relax .. You don't need to speak French. You can speak in English. There is no issue with that. Immigration agent are there to check your document validity. They are not responsible to check your eligibility.

Good luck with your life in Canada :)

Wow, that's a relief! As you can imagine, I'm a little stressed that I might overlook some details in this process--I appreciate your help!

Hi

I have CSQ and I applied for PR in 2016. While PR is in progress I got married in December 2016. I notified the CIC about it and they asked for CSQ along with supported documents. It seems CSQ will take time, in this case what should I reply to the CIC.

1.) Do I submit all the supported documents without CSQ and will send CSQ later to CIC
2.) Do I send all the documents when I received my CSQ ?
3.) Anybody know how much time will Quebec immigration take to add the spouse on your file.

Please reply

This is a tricky part. Once you add your spouse then your point will be re-assessed,( before your eligibility point was calculated based on SINGLE status). In the re-assessment, if you meet the eligibility, your spouse will get CSQ. The major confusion here is; do they consider the present point calculation rules or the rules that were used during your point calculation? I have no idea.
 
Hi everybody, i have one question for you, 1. At the time of federal application principal applicant live outside Canada and spouse live in Canada in study permit and still the same situation, does this situation make any problem for PCC and Medical request or for any other part of process, my application is already "in process" status. Please advise me.

Hello Vikastoj!
They will contact you by email about the next step. It will be medical examination and payment of fees for pr. or they will ask you notarised copy of diplomas plus letters of reference and after a month or two medical examination.

Most of the times they do not ask for this information from QSW folks.
It depends perhaps from Visa Office, this happens randomly at Rome Visa Office
