I'm surprised there is not a post for this!!

I applied for my CSQ 2 weeks ago. Just would like to get some information about timelines to estimate how long is it going to take.

This post should help future applicants to know what to expect as well.

Feel free to talk about your experiences while getting your or your partners CSQ.

My timeline:
CSQ application received in Montreal March 07
AOR March 13

In my experience, having to obtain the CSQ didn't slow down the overall timeline. My application reached DM right around the same time as everyone else in the same VO. You can find other threads that talk about this as well. Here's one: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/csq-submitted-how-long-before-ppr-spouse-sponsorship-t473314.0.html;msg5863893#msg5863893

According to their website the time frame for processing is now 25 days. My file for CSQ was received on Jan 25th and I am still waiting, because at that time the time frame was of 3 months because they were receiving too many applications.

I see. But if they are processing apps received by Feb 27 wouldn't that mean your CSQ has already been processed? maybe it's coming in the mail soon!

They are currently processing files received by February 7th. And the timeframe of 25 days is for working days.
