I'm honestly not sure because I didn't get mine returned, but I'm sure someone else here can help you with it so I'm just going to bump your message in case people missed it.
Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

Have you taken any French courses since getting to Quebec? I think it doesn't make sense that you cant sign up for the free government classes until you have your work permit because once I get my work permit I want to work not take classes. I have the time now to take the classes since I cant work haha
I'm not sure if I understand what you meant. So you applied PR for another province, but then you moved to Quebec, and you applied for CSQ through family sponsorship?
I think your validity to stay in Canada as a visitor which usually not more than Six months, if not extended, expired long before the visiting visa expires in November 7.
1. When did you get into Canada?
2. How many years visitor visa do you have?
3. How many months of validity of stay was stamped on your passport by the officer at the port of entry?
If it’s not what am thinking, there’s virtually no way they would have told you that you had no valid status, as your case implied.
But we should understand that there is a difference between visitor visa expiration date, and the visitor time validity of stay in the country.
Please answer the questions above. And we will understand your case better.
No, what I meant is that skilled workers have their own way of requesting CSQ, forms and requirements are different, and that he should check the midi website or the immigration Québec forum.
The thing is that French classes aren't suppose for tourists, I guess. I got my OWP and CSQ on November and I requested for full time classes right after, I was admitted to the full time program on December 5th and here I am, still waiting for them to let me know when and where I'm supposed to register myself and start (they are supposed to send you an email). And well, I honestly haven't been able to find a job without being able to speak French, it seems to be indispensable around here.
I arrived in Canada May 8 2017, and since I am from Italy I didn't need a visa and the officer at the airport gave me 6 months, so until November 7th.
It might be a stupid question but how is there a difference between visitor visa expiration and validity of stay? If you have a visa doesn't mean you can stay until it expires?
If you have 6 months validity from May 8, there is no way you can be out of status as at the time your application was received.
Except they start calculating their presumed in or out of status from the day your resubmitted OWP was open. Probably after Nov 7.
At this point I really can’t understand why you have to wait for SA before they issue your OWP, on the grounds that you are out of status, when you are within the six month validity.
Yes! People from countries that applied for visa sometimes have visas expiration for 1-5 years depending on the expiration of their travel Passport. But even if they have 5 years visa expiration, their validity to stay cannot be more than 6months, which may be extended.
That’s the difference.
Hi Everyone,
I shared my wife's timeline couple days ago:
I shared my wife's timeline couple days ago:
I applied for my wife's residency as an inland application in February 2017, PCC was requested in March, work permit received in April and medical was done in June. After a long silence, Today I got the Sponsor Approval(SA) email and now when i check the ECAS, it says decision made.
Although, the CIC account is still the same saying medicals have been approved, background check in progress, SA in progress etc etc. Not sure whats happening and why two systems are not synced properly. But anyways wanted to share an update with you all.
We finally got another email in her myCIC account asking to confirm time for a phone interview. Has anyone heard of this before?? I have never heard of a phone interview before. This is what the letter says:Although, the CIC account is still the same saying medicals have been approved, background check in progress, SA in progress etc etc. Not sure whats happening and why two systems are not synced properly.

Oh ok know I understand
Well I read on a tread on this forum that someone that was having a problem like mine that they called cic and the agent said they look at the date when it was sent to see if someone was out of status or not. And also I called again today and the agent said she was going to send a note to the agent in Vegreville because she said too that they shouldn't be waiting for sponsor approval and I also sent again a web form and this time I put my passport stamps too. Now that I'm writing I realize I should've asked if they count from the day they receive the application or the day they actually start processing.
check the 2016 thread. a few people from there have had it. seems to go just as smoothly as the face to face interviewHi Everyone,
