Québec PR Timelines

You’re not thinking of mandamus ? I’m not sure how it works exactly if someone can explain but I know it costs money and it gets your PR
Pretty sure they are experiencing normal processing times for Quebec so no point in filing writ of Mandamus. Also not sure you can file writ of mandamus for CSQ. You can no longer see all the previous posts so maybe @Taweda can post all their processing details to clarify.
You’re pretty sure ? You have statistics or data backing your opinion or is it out of your ass ? The processing time is 45 months some get it in 43 and some do in 47-48, that’s what makes an average.
Every single one I know is getting their or wether 47-46 or even 48 so the number on IRCC website aren’t BS
Now 50 months or more is in no way the norm so yeah there is a point in filing writ of mandamus.
We have to get our PRs this year cuz it’s gonna be impossible from 2026 up if the new quota rules take place
To have a chance of writ of mandamus your processing time has to be significantly longer (years not months) than not only posted processing time but actual processing times which are often not the same. Processing times in general are getting longer every month so the average processing time is getting longer. The issues also appears to be at the CSQ level so very likely a quota and backlog issue in Quebec.
December 2021 submitted the H&C application
May 2024 received AIP
August 2024 CSQ application sent to MIFI
Nothing has been received yet
So the issue is really with Quebec and not sure if writ of mandamus is an option. Do you have an idea about the backlog for H&C applications in Quebec? I assume Quebec is slowing approval rates to meet a certain quota because once they approve it is out of their control when you get PR. You may want to consult with a lawyer to see if anything can be done or try to get access to backlog info through freedom of information request from Quebec.
Thank you. I don’t have a lawyer
What you mean by freedom of information request from Quebec? Is it something similar to the one that we get from IRCC
You can pay to access most information from the government. I suspect the real issue with your case is Quebec backlogs and small quotas for PRs which are affecting all H&C applications these days.

You may want to consult with a lawyer to see if anything can get do done as well or at what point could you take action if possible.

Could you please advise me regarding what happened to me?
Yesterday, I called MIFI to ask about my application. The lady I spoke with told me there was a note indicating that my application had been accepted, but that no letter had been sent to me yet. After going back and forth with her, she said she had asked the department to send the letter and advised me to wait two weeks. She also told me that if I did not receive it by then, I should call back.
I was so happy—I even told her she made my day and that this meant my kids would no longer have to pay international fee
However, today I called again to confirm and to ask if the CSQ could be delivered soon. Unfortunately, I was told that my file is still in process. They explained that it was “unofficially accepted” and that the previous agent should not have told me that.
I feel very disappointed and sad after receiving this conflicting information.
What do you think please?

I think you’re in a queue and waiting for your turn. Not sure how long you’ll have to wait. This is more of a quota issue as I have indicated before.
