I posted in the March thread as well, but just in case anyone wants to know... I got my request for my passport today!!
I am lucky, it was a pretty straight forward timeline, with the CSQ causing extra processing time.
Congratulations hibou!! :D

Did you receive your CSQ by snail mail or email?

I know how you feel. MICC received my extra forms & fee 2 weeks ago and I'm now waiting to be approved. Meanwhile, our application is sat in London waiting for a copy of the CSQ to proceed. E-Cas says "medical results received" so I'm presuming they only need the CSQ to issue PPR.

Hi Folks! Long time lurker, and hope to offer some of our experiences to help out in a few weeks: right now up to our necks in preparations!
Need to check something ASAP, as about to commit to non refundable flights tomorrow......

So, just now panicking that we got everything in the envelope when we picked up my husband's passport. The letter included said TWO documents, so I'm hoping that means your passport and COPR. To be anal, though, when one picks up their passport (and presumably when it is posted too :D ) the envelope should contain the following:

1) Your passport (with the "immigrant" visa as like a sticker on a whole passport page
2) A letter telling you what to do, and also saying there are TWO documents included
3) The COPR form with your photo on one page, and two additional pages, separated by carbon- it says it's a 3 part from so.....

There is nothing else. right?

Basically all we need for going through Immigration is the passport with the visa, and the COPR 3 part from thing? (And we have our marriage certificate and my husband's birth certificate and ALL of the documents we sent copies of with our application, although I doubt they'll want to see those! ;-))

I know Shandimoo indicated that was all in a helpful previous post (and she mentioned the two lines- if you get there after 2pm they seem to make you join the one line for drop offs and pick ups, so get there early for speediest results!).

Thanks in advance for any confirmation you have:)

Yep, all you need to land is your passport with the whole page visa thing inside and the COPR.
If you are importing your belonging then you will need some additional forms B4 or something. I didnt do this so am nto too familiar, others will be able to help if you need it.

Hi Darque!

Thanks!

I got my CSQ my snail mail- well my boyfriend got it. He is my sponsor and is in Canada now, while I am at home in Ireland.
I think it took around 5 weeks to get the CSQ.
Yup, the fact they have your medical results is a good sign! I'm sure it's not too long now :)

London don't send out confirmations of receipt. You will have to check on ecas and it will usually update saying 'we received the application to sponsor xxx on xxx - the date...etc '
The you will hear from them to either ask for more information or a PPR.

Good luck!

Well we got a pleasant surprise today! ;D

My husband got an email from London today regarding his CSQ. The email included his "B" and "F" file number side by side at the top.


They acknowledged receiving his PR application on June 17 and stated the following:

As you are destined to the province of Quebec, we cannot commence processing your application until we receive Quebec Immigration Approval (CSQ/Engagement) We usually receive our visa office copy of the approval from the Quebec Government MICC. To date on your application, we have not received Quebec Immigration Approval, if you have received, the CSQ/Engagement, please forward us a copy of these documents.

I thought it was strange to get an email from London so soon! I wouldn't expect them to have received the CSQ yet as MICC only received our forms 2 weeks ago.

However, I'm thankful that we're getting updates when some people aren't getting any at all :D

Thats great, it sounds like they are working on your case and really all you need is the CSQ then you'll be good to go and PPR won't be far behind.
Hope so - Congrats! :)

After 8 months and 6 days we have finally reached Decision Made on Ecas. Just awaiting the letter or email. Been a soul destroying process but we are finally getting towards the end. Pink lady could you add in your spreadsheet that we went into process Feb 24. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

Thanks Baloo and Inl...it isn't nice being some of the last ones to get through from your month but at least there is hope that an end is in sight now. Inl, any idea what is taking London so long for you? For us it was an RCMP check that took them three months to write us a letter to tell us that. Hope you hear something soon!!!
