Congratulations! There's a CSQ spreadsheet if you don't mind sharing your processing time! http://tinyurl.com/CSQprocessingtimes

I applied about a month ago for my wife and kids - hoping our CSQ will arrive very soon...

Hi all,

I'm the owner of the spreadsheet and as a response to your concerns - I've disabled the option to make any changes to it for anybody except myself. So from now on, send me a msg here on the forum or a private one if you want me to change something there.

When I was creating it I was convinced (and I still am) that enabling everybody to make changes for themselves was better as it made all of us equally responsible for it and it felt more like "our" spreadsheet. Sure I expected that some may have problems with filling it well etc. but I kinda assumed that the ones with a better knowledge would help to fix it. And that's how it was. On a few occasions when there was some big mix up in the spreadsheet we fixed it easily. I don't think these mix ups were done intentionally - rather somebody clicked something by accident and then didn't know how to undo it. But generally, didn't it feel better to be able to make changes yourself rather than report it to one person?

Anyway, long story short, I can enable the changes again no problem if you want me to, just let me know.

I don't think it's a big deal if everyone can edit it (and I agree with your logic - it's "our" spreadsheet!) because we can easily revert to various edits in Google Drive. We just have to make sure that when someone screws up the spreadsheet intentionally or unintentionally, we don't start adding in new information so that nothing is lost! I must admit, I panicked when I opened the spreadsheet that time on my mobile because I forgot about the revision history.

It's your call as spreadsheet owner!

I still cant see my ecas!! The approval of sponsorship was received Oct 25th, i saw the ecas working for couple of days saying application received and medical received. I check again next day and it says it cant find me using that info. tried with everything, UCI number, app number that i found in the email they sent my wife (Sponsor) as an approval of sponsorship. I didnt receive any email from cic yet!

I am waiting with all level of patience but is there anything i should worry about?

They will send you an email back if there is any more information they need from you. They are pretty good and will get it figured out for you.

I'd be very interested to hear if you get some kind of confirmation on ECAS that your CSQ has been received by your visa office, or if you need to call or email the visa office to make sure that they've got it.

Congrats! is that an extra step for Quebec? Where do they forward your file after that?

Quebec requires applicants intending to reside in Quebec to get a "Quebec Selection Certificate" (or CSQ, abbreviated from the French "certificat de sélection du Québec"). It's an easy application (but may be submitted only in French), plus an additional fee based on the number of sponsored persons, and when you're approved they send the CSQ to both your visa office and to you. It adds about a month to the processing time, and your regular VO does the processing.
