CSQ Expiring - Federal Stage- What should be done?

[mgazi]

Dears,

I am one of some applicants who have their application processed by ADVO
My CSQ is Expiring on June 2018- I am in federal Stage.
I need some advice
Does anyone have previous experience and can share it here with me/ us? or anyone knows the right procedure to get the CSQ renewed?

Thank you

As you read along the letter from Quebec government when they send you the CSQ. I think once you submitted your application to Federal then Quebec will also know this. Therefore, if your CSQ is going to expire soon then they will send you a new one extend the period of CSQ. That's what i understand.

If someone have experience please share or you can make a call to Quebec to check this out. Thanks

I will suggest to talk with MIDI, There is no auto system with MIDI, you should talk with MIDI before hoping you will get another CSQ automatically.

I just read online that IRCC has to request MIDI to renew the CSQ but only when it expires during the processing of the APR

Hi,
I am in the same situation as you, did you receive a new CSQ? Was it automatic or did you request one your self from MIDI?

I am really sorry but I still did not get any response from MIDI
the request was done by my consultant since June I think.
I hope you started the federal already.. did you?

Yes I started the federal in April 2017 (more than 17 Months of waiting), My CSQ expired in June 2018 and I needed one to renew my working permit. When I called IRCC they said that they requested a new CSQ directly from MIDI, when I call MIDI they say they did not receive any request. I've been like a ping pong ball between them for a week until one day a MIDI agent told me that the law has changed on the 2nd of August and they no longer renew CSQs, it is always considered valid if it expires during the federal stage. Since I exceeded the "normal processing time for inland application", I thought that maybe the CSQ is blocking...

Hello achref01 here is some info about the CSQ:

"If the applicant’s CSQ is valid at the receipt of the application at the CIO, the CSQ will be considered valid until a decision is rendered on the permanent residence application by IRCC."

Me too, I dunno what to think. This is what i found on the website:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/economic-classes/quebec/making-final-decision.html


Valid Certificat de sélection du Québec
The CSQ must be valid at the time the applicant submits an application to IRCC. Once a valid CSQ is received by IRCC, it will be considered valid until a decision is rendered on the permanent residence application. If the CSQ validity date has expired in the Global Case Management System when a decision is to be taken, officers must manually update the “Valid To” field to the date that is equal to the validity of the medical results.

As mentioned in the link they will not renew your CSQ, they will consider the one you submitted valid until a decision is made

So is it possible to land in Quebec with a expired CSQ? or do we need a renewed CSQ to land? I have heard CSQ is needed to apply health card.

I've got my permanent residency last month and my CSQ never got renewed. From what I heard it is validity is extended to match the validity of the medical exam. I did a flag pole to validate my permanent residency (going to the US then driving right back to Canada) and yes, I entered the Canadian border with an expired CSQ without any problems. It seems that once you got the confirmation, the CSQ expiry date does not matter. I also did my SIN and medical insurance with that same CSQ. Just note that I am inland, maybe for applicants from other counties the law is different.

The info I have is that no issues to land with an expired CSQ

A question: A CSQ is considered valid until a decision is made if "received " before the expiration date. Is "received" the date the package arrived by mail, or the date they actually sent the "Letter of receipt acknowledgement"?

My CSQ expires in November, and I'm sending the application today (August). I'm ok if they consider the date of the post office, but if the date is the one they open the package and send the letter of acknowledgement" who knows when that will be...
