The letter of intent was submitted with the initial batch of documents. There is a category for additional documents, I uploaded it there

Hello all,

A final update to my case. I received the CoPR on March 15th, and validated it on the 23rd. I have not seen many advice on validating your CoPR, here is an advice to anyone validating their CoPR from Quebec:

1) Have an address from another province at the time of validation
The officers will ask for an address, and if the only one you have is from Quebec they will not validate it, and they may take your CoPR away

I will not be checking the forum much, but if you need help send me a message and Ill try to respond,

Best of luck!

Thanks for the info.
Did you land in Quebec or another province? At a border or IRCC office?
Is having an address outside of QC enough? Did you show a lease or proof of address?

I landed at a border crossing in Ontario, since that is my stated province of arrival. I would advice you do not enter through Quebec. The rational is that at the time of validation, you are saying that as of right now I'm detaching myself from Quebec.

I chose the land border crossing for the sake of saving time. The IRCC appointment can take months.

For the address, what I did is secured a place in Ontario, and exchanged my driver license from Quebec to an Ontario license and used that as an ID with an out-of-Quebec address. I was not asked for a lease, but if you have it it would be nice to take just in case (a lot is agent dependent).

Regards,

Did you have a job in Quebec? If yes, did you resign?

Anyone else trying through Express Entry while employed with a closed work permit in Quebec?

I am planning to apply through Express Entry but do not have a job offer from another province yet. Has anyone else tried to get a job offer from outside of Quebec? I can apply for the EE after I atleast have a job offer.

I am willing to move out of Quebec as I am fed up with the delay in the processing time and am stuck in this never resolving issue by the CAQ. Unfortunately I too am in queue among the +18000 applications with probably no future in Quebec. I have also created my profile in ARRIMA but with no clear path forward, I am really running out of options as my work permit is valid till October 2019.

Any suggestions or guidance is highly appreciated.

Hello Samster,
I applied Through Express Entry under CEC Since January 13 and i am still waiting for them to request for my letter of intent to reside outside Quebec.

I am on closed work permit just like you, and because od this it is hard to get job offer from employers outside Quebec. I have applied for many jobs did some interviews but they won't take me till i have my PR. So its possible to apply under CEC without Job offer and look for away to prove your intent.

It might be a little bit difficult for you because you have already applied through Quebec so you will really need to convince the VO that you intend to leave.

I wish you goodluck.
