Hi-- I am applying from the US and planning to move to Montreal. Things in my application seem to be moving quickly, so quickly that the Montreal documents are holding everything else up. I don't remember the exact timeline, but I received notice to apply for the CSQ in Montreal in mid-Feb and...

Yes... Application Received - Nov. 20 AOR1 - Jan. 25 SA - Feb. 7 I'm applying to Quebec, so I don't know what comes next: AOR2, MR, or request for undertaking application to Quebec. They are all mentioned in the SA letter. But things are moving along.

Thanks... to be clear, if I get permanent residency in Canada, is my family able to move directly to Montreal? I guess I'm having trouble figuring out how Quebec recognizes PR status gained through spousal sponsorship and how that affects my ability to start applying for jobs.

Hello, I've had a hard time finding anyone at the consulate or VAC to answer any questions, but I think my situation is probably fairly straightforward for anyone who knows the system. My wife (Canadian citizen, US green card holder) and I (US citizen) are considering a move with our two...
