@ beauhoe, thanks for the very detailed reply. However, i will really appreciate if you clear out this point: MICC has dated the first page, which mean that no matter when you submit your federal, CIC is going to consider your application from that stamped date (that may save you weeks or months on the total waiting length). Will the BIQ send the photocopy tht i sent for CSQ application to my visa office. I didn't quite understand when do MICC stamp the form. I got a memo and a copy of the financial contract (stamped) with my CSQ and nothing else.
Regards
Shahzad
