From your previous poster, you wrote
Police certificate + Annexe A (resubmission) request: April 6th 2017
Police certificate + Annexe A (resubmission) submitted: April 8th 2017
Police certificate + Annexe A (resubmission) received: April 13th 2017
I want to know you send them to Ottawa or Sydne? by the post office?
I also received an email to ask the Police certificate. I found that it could be uploaded from MY CIC. Now I only do it online, and don't know if the paper one needs to be mailed to them.

I was dealing with Sydney at first and then after the application I guess got sent to Ottawa. So the Police certificate + Annexe A (resubmission) was sent to Ottawa through express mail (as requested by Ottawa VO in email).
Also just this week on the 31st/May I think, I was ask to submit another PCC which was submitted through email immediately since I had it with me already waiting (email requested to submit this one through email response which I did).
So check your email please to see how they want you to submit your Police certificate.

Here is what I did when I applied for an open work permit in March and I get a 1-year open work permit end of the April with 54 code which I have no idea what does it means.

It is a pdf file. I don't want to add 20 images in the form, so I did a pdf file.
https://yadi.sk/i/Vj82pZf33JeNgt

I think the most important thing is to select "yes" for "Have you been told by an IRCC office that you are approved in principle for permanent residence in Canada?" and also "Have you submitted PR application in Canada".

--The expire status is just an example.

I also say "yes" for CSQ and Medical exam question because I have it and done before.

By the way, I didn't select "YES" for accompanying person however in my case I also applied for my spouse too.

At the end, they just asked IMM5710, CSQ, Passport, photo and proof of medical exam for me and for my spouse and we got our work permit in approximately 2 moths (thanks to their speed we were implied status for 1 month)

I hope this information will be helpful for whom is going to apply for an open work permit.
Quick Question: do you provide the "Proof of medical exam" while extending the Work Permit since it is said to be required while filling out the online application??

Yes, I provided a scan of the "Proof of medical exam", because I said yes to the medical exam question.

How can you get the "Proof of medical exam"?? I remembered that the medician should have sent the results to CIC but we're not getting anything from them...or you do a new medical exam for it??

Wow, that was so sweet; I asked the clinic if I could get a result etc; but he told me that he would directly sent to CIC; so there is nothing for me...

It is not the results of my medical exam, it is a paper proves that I did the medical exam :)
When I asked the results he said it will cost 80 CAD and of course I said No :)

Jesus, that's surreal... I did the exams a couple of weeks ago, they said they would send it directly and MyCIC is already stating "you have passed the medical exam". Your clinic really screwed up the whole thing...

By the way guys, after passing the medical exam, what are the next stages? I already sent all my police certificates with my application (the ones listed as mandatory) and paid my RPRF upfront... Could it be almost over?

Congratulations to those getting DM, and best wishes for your landing process.

It looks so far that the theory was correct and the VO are working on Quebec applications at the beginning of the month... Hopefully, we will keep getting more updates all through next week at least.

Here is content of what I sent today by post to the local MP. I have obviously deleted some of my personal info. Hope the issue is taken seriously... (i included a bit about maybe become a citizen by 2019, which is when the next elections are, hoping that they might give the matter some importance since i cool be a potential voter)


"I am a resident in Villeray in the district of Papineau. I write to you concerning federal immigration processes faced by applicants wishing to settle in Quebec, such as myself as well as thousands of others each year from around the world.

I am grateful that Canada is planning for the future and opening its borders to skilled immigrants, as well as helping others for humanitarian reasons, such as the recent refugee intake. However, I wish to bring to your attention some of the concerns shared by many of us as applicants.

All applicants, regardless of province of destination must undergo the same basic federal application process, which includes background checks and medical exams. However, increasing processing times and delays have affected applicants wishing to settle in Quebec. In addition to requiring a Cértificat du Selection du Québec (which in itself can take months or years to obtain in some cases), applicants face longer processing times at the federal level, even though the process remains basically the same. I do believe that a system like Express Entry brings many advantages, and I also believe immigrants fitting the country’s needs should have access to a fast-track process, but this should not mean longer waiting times for other applicants, specially when applicants wishing to settle in Quebec have no other option or alternative program to do so. In fact, since I sent my application at the end of summer 2016, the official processing times shown by IRCC, as long as they were, have increased.

This situation is harmful for both the applicants and the province of Quebec. On one hand, applicants are faced with slow service and processing, which prevents us from planning accurately our final plans to settle in Canada. It is hard to make plans for the future when you don’t know if you are going to have to keep waiting for much longer, or if in the end the application will be rejected after months (or years) of waiting.

On the other hand, this also harms Quebec’s economy. I personally know potential applicants that are actually considering choosing other provinces simply because the immigration process is much slower and uncertain here…. And the feeling is spreading. It is understandable, inland applicants going through Express Entry are sometimes granted permanent residence in just a couple of months. After this amount of time, many of Quebec applicants do not even receive acknowledgment from IRCC that the applications were received.

I do not regret trying to settle in Quebec. I am happy to be able to live and work in the province and I have patiently waited for my application to be processed. In my specific case, I am waiting for a Canadian Embassy abroad to receive a document from the authorities in my home country. But I have shared my experience and thoughts with other applicants, and a feeling that keeps coming up is that of being left in the dark. We are not sure why processing times are going up. Is it because other applications are processed first? Are there insufficient resources? Are Quebec applicants being subjected to other screening processes?

I moved to Villeray last year, and I wish to be able to keep living here in the future, and I hope that my application will be accepted so that I can permanently settle here, and maybe even become a citizen by 2019 if all goes well.

I sincerely hope that you are able to help us bring this matter to the attention of the necessary authorities. With any luck, changes will be implemented to benefit current and future applicants, or at least so that more information will be available on how the applications are being processed and the reasons for delays (if any).

I appreciate your taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for your support in the matter.

Sincerely,"
