    November 2023 **inland** spousal applications

    No PR for me yet. I was contacted on July 10 and asked to provide the remaining amount for my Right to Permanent Residency Fee (I had been 200% sure that I had paid that in full upfront, but I wasn't gonna fight them on it). So I paid the amount they request ($85) immediately, and they...

    CSQ spouse sponsorship inland timeline 2024

    Hey! c: I received a request for a payment of $85 to complete my Right to Permanent Residence fee (and/or Biometric fee? It wasn't super clear) on July 10 -- which was odd to me because I had been 200% sure I had paid for everything up front, but I didn't want to delay further, so I paid it...

    CSQ spouse sponsorship inland timeline 2024

    Nov 9, 2023 here. No P1 yet, but I did get the request for the Right To Permanent Residency Fee on July 10, 2025. As far as I can tell, P1 usually follows within 6-8 weeks after that, so hopefully I will be getting some news soonish lol. Full timeline is in my signature.

    Happy to hear it was helpful! Mmm I didn't receive an AOR for my Work Permit. You can not work in Canada as a foreigner without having the physical copy of your approved Work Permit c:

    Quebecers! How Are You Dealing With This Spousal Sponsorship Plot Twist? Roll for Initiative…

    So I'm quite far along in the process (full timeline in my signature), but one thing I found of interest was within 24hrs of QC shutting down the Spousal stream I ended up with an email in my inbox asking for the remainder of my Right to Permanent Residence fee -- which, I had paid the right to...

    Yeah :/ So I guess your options will be to wait to apply in 2026 or move to another province >.<;;

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    I don't know much about the PEQ-W pathway, but I think if you've made it to the point where you're just waiting on your card, there's probably no need to reach out to IRCC about your updated marital/relationship status. Once your PR card arrives, you can just fill out the Family class paperwork...

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    Ok perf. Whew! I was worried for you for a sec there! lol. It sounds like you and your girlfriend are still living together and have been since 2024. So your relationship would be considered common-law and you can apply for PR for her under the common-law sponsorship stream in the family class...

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    When did you apply? And did you file for Quebec PR in the Spousal class as single? If you did and you're at the stage where you're already waiting on your card in the family-class stream, and you're not married, and you weren't common-law.... mmmm I would hazard a guess that there's probably...

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    canuck above me cut to the chase, lol, but I'll provide a little bit more context. In order to be considered common-law for immigration purposes, you have to have been cohabitating in a conjugal relationship for at least 12 full consecutive months. So if you just moved in together for the first...

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    You can't apply for the Ontario stream right now if your sponsor is currently residing in Quebec. If your sponsor is currently residing in Quebec, then you must apply through the Quebec stream -- and it will certainly take longer, even if you update your application later with a change of...

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    I'm no expert or anything, so take my recommendation with a grain of salt, but from my understanding Outland applications are based on where you intend to live after you formally land in the province (aka after you receive your PR approval). But your sponsor needs to have a presence/residence in...

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    It's from the time of submission to the time of final decision. You do not use the current processing time to determine how long your already-in-progress application will take (they even say, the longer you've been waiting, the closer you are to the front of the line). The current anticipated...

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    That's incorrect -- at least according to IRCC. As well, the current processing times of others near my application date aligns with the 24-month expectation given at the time of my application's submission.

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    Congratulations~ So, my main recommendation is if you are able to apply from any other province than Quebec, your application will proceed more quickly. For me (US citizen) and my husband (Canadian citizen), we were not in a position to apply from another province. As I have a US passport, I...
