You are welcome. Some people (myself included) pay all the fees up front. There's nothing stopping you from paying it as soon as you apply. It supposedly makes things go faster, but who can really say! (Applicant Fee ($550) + RPRF ($490) = Total of $1040) Thanks Dior! That's what I thought...

Hello QC_PEQ, if you find out any information about how to get a PR card super fast, please share! Thanks ;D I found this link but I don't think it will apply to you as your trip is in less than 3wks, no? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/pr-card/apply-urgent-processing-not-submitted.asp

Hello Everyone! Quick question for today. Does anyone know if you can return to Canada and NOT land? As per my timeline below, I was going to land after my return from Easter vacation in the US, but an unexpected work trip came up and I will be flying to the US on May 11th and returning May...

It can take a while for them to update it. It took over 6+ months for CIC to update mine. I wouldn't worry about it. Unless they contact you for something, you can assume your application IS in process.

Hello All - Just a quick update to say that I received my COPR & Visa 10 days after mailing by Xpresspost. Hard to believe but the journey is over! ;D Updated QSW/PEQ Timeline: Applied for CSQ: August 3, 2012 Received CSQ: September 15, 2012 Applied for QSW: February 24, 2013 App Fee & RPRF...

Hello All, For those who have already recieved PPR, can you tell me the turnaround time on receiving your passport back? Sent mine in the mail yesterday (XPress Post) and just wondering how fast it will get back to me. And just to clarify, once I get my passport back with the visa, it will...

Hello Imm_Leb_01 seems we have been in the same boat all this time. Also just received PPR. Congrats to you! Updated QSW/PEQ Timeline: Applied for CSQ: August 3, 2012 Received CSQ: September 15, 2012 Applied for QSW: February 24, 2013 App Fee & RPRF Paid: February 24, 2013 Received...

Yes. You are correct. According to Canada Post; http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pg/manual/pgservstds-e.asp • Local – Where the destination city/town is the same as the originating city/town. • Provincial – Where the destination city/town is in the same province as the originating city/town...

Hello Imm_Leb_01, no updates yet I'm afraid. Just hoping to hear something before the end of the year. Woo-hoo Pxd5111! Congrats. Also, I think you are the first in the thread who applied in 2013 to have gotten a DM. I hope this means they have started processing 2013 applicants then, as I...

Wow! Lots of movement in this thread. Congrats Harvie, Golbarg & Kanadianman! Hope they get to processing 2013 sooner than later :D

Congrats to all of those who got an update! The PAFSO strike ended on September 26, 2013, so hopefully they get moving on everyone's applications soon. Link: http://www.pafso.com/news_releases.php?newsID=168. I just checked my ECAS and unfortunately still no update at this time. Hope to have an...

Hi Imm_Leb_01 ECAS says "Medicals have been received". It's been the same since May. I have given up checking ECAS! I think the strike has really made a mess of things. I did send an email to inquire at the end of June and they responded about a week later saying "Everything's fine. We'll get...

Hello All...Just checking in. Unfortunately, still no update on my end. Anyone received any information from CIC? Thanks. QSW/PEQ Timeline: Applied for CSQ: August 3, 2012 Received CSQ: September 15, 2012 Applied for QSW: February 24, 2013 Received Acknowledgement: April 9, 2013 Medical...

Hi Imm_Leb_01, I sent an email on June 25 to check if everything was okay, as I am leaving Canada for a vacation. I received a response on June 28, from OttPilot-Immigration saying everything is in process and no action is required. And that I will be contacted by an immigration officer if...

Hi Laotan, feel free to private message me on here and I'll be happy to help.

Hello Notabigdeal, I did not apply under the PEQ - Québec Graduate program. I applied under the PEQ - Temporary Worker program. I'm afraid I can't help you with your question.

Congratulations QC_PEQ_Montreal! I was hoping for an update on this thread about wait times after Medicals. It seems it took about 1.5mnths for you. I have not yet reached your stage, but I hope you get your Passport Request soon. I paid my Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) when I...

Hi Awslek, no problem! The posted CIC wait times are averages. Some people will be processed faster and some slower. I would suggest you get started on your CSQ before worrying about Permanent Residency just yet :) Step 1: Apply for CSQ (under the PEQ – Québec graduate program...

Hi Awslek, Your question isn't clear. How much time what takes after CSQ? The permanent residency application? The quoted wait time on the CIC website for a QC Permanent Resident Application says 19 months (if applying through the Ottawa CPP office as an "In-Canada Quebec Skilled Worker"). To...

My application was sent to Sydney. As per the CIC website that is the office for In-Canada QSW/PEQ applications. UPDATE: My ECAS status has been updated to show Medical Results Received. Anyone ahead of me have any idea how long it takes for the next action (interview or passport request?) to...
