What is wrong with the London office?? Quebec-selected skilled worker. How long?

[hejdaa]

I wonder what is going on with the London Office.

Based on my Certificate of Selection from Quebec, I applied a month ago for a Permanent Resident visa. At the time I of my application, I missed some documents (two police certificates as well as a letter proving that I owe no child support).

I sent the missing documents two weeks later.

So far I have received no acknowledgment of either the application - nor the following missing documents, which were sent separately.

Anyone has an experiece with that office? They seem to take no calls. The switchboard secretary at the High Commission of Canada in London refused to forward my call to the Immigration Department. They do not seem to answer email messages either.

Strange... when I applied for a Certificate of Selection for Quebec, it took the Quebec delegation in Paris only a month to issue me the certificate!! Now all that the Canadian embassy in London is supposed to do is merely a routine statutory check. Why does it take so long?

Any idea?

5-12 months process for Quebec applicants at London.  They now do the same background and checks as anyother applicant.  Since you didn't submit a complete application, and your application is within their processing time frames, they aren't going to reply to your queries.

Thank you for the helpful comment.

I am still surprised that it takes that long even to issue an AOR. I hope my application was received at all... who knows...

Hi Hejdaa,

My apologies for asking this here.
I am currently living in London but I am thinking of applying for a CSQ. My main concern is my French. I am learning it and trying hard but I am afraid they would ask for a high level of proficiency.
Please, could you tell me about your experience for obtaining the CSQ in Paris? How long does the process take? Were you asked to attend an interview in Paris?
Thanks in advance for your support.

Hi

I have applied for the Quebec selection certificate from the Paris office. Just would like to know what am I supposed to do in case I get it? I mean what documents do I need to submit to the London Office. And also in the mid-time can apply for my police certificate now (just save some time as soon as I maybe get my QSC)

Thanks for all your answers

Hi Hedjaa and brook

I read about you applying for a Quebec Pr at the London office, have you heard from them since then?

[Neyo]

Alomansy, what does your status read. London Office work at its own pace. If it's still within the time frame , no cause for alarm.
