Hi everyone, I was hired by a company in Québec, an inmigration company is helping me with all the process.
My applications (Caq & Lmia) were submitted on February 24th, I'm Mexican so I'm aware it is supposed to be "easier" because of that, I'm also an engineer.
Does anybody know why it is taking so long?
Thank you.

Not sure if the nationality has anything to do with

The LMIA has to be positive and then proceed

Wait till posted processing time is over and raise a webform if no decision yet

Good Luck

Eligibility has started for spouse but hasn’t started for the main applicant. Is this a mistake please? Both background checks are in process thoUgh

Unless you qualified to work under a trade agreement you will have normal processing period and being from Mexico doesn’t make a difference. Around 6 months processing is fairly common but because there is an extra step in Quebec it can take longer.

Don't mean to scare you, but...

I applied inland for a closed WP through a WPSL from my PNP nomination. Application was submitted online last September 2022. Until now there is no movement. ATIP notes last April 2023 showed that R10/eligibility not started.

But then, every case is different. So, hopefully your application gets updated soon.
