I got the ghost update (see my signature), then nothing. Still no medical request.
I wonder what the issue is.
Sending us the medical request would cost them nothing and I know someone is working on my application, so I have to assume they are holding back on purpose. Everyone else gets the medical request regardless of the other steps, but apparently we Quebec applicants need to clear eeeeeverything else first...
Frustrating.
After we obtain the CSQ we were supposed to be treated like every other candidate. The Quebec-related step is over. But clearly that's not the case.
At least I am happy for all the other people here getting to the finish line

In some sense they are doing you a favour by holding off on medical, perhaps? Given that medical results do expire, I mean. If delays are severe, at least you won’t have to pay twice if you’re stuck in the queue — those of us stuck with you but who have already gotten their medicals might have to get them (and pay for them) .

That's a good point
However, it would indicate that Quebec's queue is potentially much longer than everywhere else, which supposedly should not happen.
We have to obtain a CSQ, but once that is done the federal government has full jurisdiction over our applications.
It definitely shouldn’t! But if it makes you feel any better (probably not, but at least you have company? ) there are people from outside Quebec getting their PR processed at Montreal too. That might account for some of the delays. And those of us sent there from other provinces are getting delays too, even without factoring in CSQ. Not sure what’s happening over there — hope the floods don’t compound the delays...

Good luck! We are also in Calgary and my husband is from Beijing as wellhey guys .. i wont be on this site as much as i used to be ... wish you guys all the best.... PR is the on the way!
We are a month behind ur application so finger crossed!Hey guys, I had just gotten OWP approval and just received it in mail. What do I do with the document now? Do I bring this document to job interviews?, I heard about bringing to document to get a SIN #, is this the next step?
Thank you
Thank you
You take your permit and your passport/ID to your nearest Service Canada location to get your SIN. You’ll get it same-day and then you can apply for jobs! Mostly employers don’t need to examine your SIN or OWP until they actually hire you and have you fill out your paperwork.
Thanks, it is definitely nice to know.It definitely shouldn’t! But if it makes you feel any better (probably not, but at least you have company?

I was being processed in Mississauga, at least until the RCMP fingerprint request. If I have nothing until next week I will call to ask if I have been transferred.
PS: since we are sharing related news, I imagine you are aware that Quebec's new government has been petitioning the federal level to limit the number of family reunion and refugee permanent residencies granted each year, as part of their immigration reduction/change initiatives (that also included thrashing 18000 economical immigration processes already underway...).
Last I read they were not getting this part to go their way, since they control economical immigration, but not family reunions or refugees. They were trying though.
Were you asked to get your finger print? Why some of us is asked to get finger print before the pr?
no they didnt ask...because i applied before they started asking for fingerprints ... but next time when i renew my PR Card.they will ask my fingerprints for sure ..
lol thats awesome ! good luck guys !Good luck! We are also in Calgary and my husband is from Beijing as well
I see. Thanks. I wasn't asked either but whenever I called cic for their automatic system it always says "we dont need your finger print. we will contact you if we do (something like that" and I saw someone else was asked for it so made me wonder
for chinese nation if you applied before dec 2018 (if i didnt remember wrong )they wont ask .. if you applied from 2019 .. you need to do it for your application...
