CSQ spouse sponsorship inland timeline 2024

[Denny U.]

They are! And yes, it still says that. But background check is probably even finished by now. I’ve read that it is common to stay like that until the Final Decision, then background check is marked as completed at the same time. Based on a conversation I’ve had with an acquaintance that worked at IRCC, at this stage, our file is usually completed and sitting in a pile and we are just waiting because of the quotas imposed by Quebec.

What kind of quotas are these? Monthly?

Background checks are normally completed in that situation because they are down by an outside organization not IRCC. Applications can be stuck without final decision if they are in a queue waiting for their turn due to a quota issue.

What kind of quotas are these? Monthly?

Yes monthly or approximately monthly. The goal is to slowly approve people over a year versus approving as many as waiting at the beginning of the year and exhaust the quota for the full year.

Are you also waiting for the PPR, if it's not a secret?

Yes, that’s correct.

Congrats on the FD! That's amazing news. Could you please share your stream (Inland/Outland) and which Visa Office processed your application? I'm a mid-2024 applicant as well, trying to figure out the current pace. Hope you get your P1 very soon!

Thanks for sharing the detailed timeline! Quick question regarding your Background Check / Security: Did you ever order GCMS notes during this wait? If yes, do you happen to know when your Security check actually started or went into progress? Trying to see how long the background stage takes for Quebec applicants these days.
Also, did you do anything to push the file (like contacting an MP or raising webforms), or did it just process naturally on its own?

 

[altiquei]

Ive never ordered notes or check the tracker actually, i have a representative so he told me i got final decision thats how i know.
I also never called MP either or even IRCC. If i dont get my eCORP by August which is the estimate date based on IRCC Procesing times then i will start calling but for now ill rather just chill and wait,

That makes total sense, glad you had a hands-off experience! Since you had a representative handling everything, do you happen to know if they ever raised any webforms or sent official inquiries on your behalf during that wait (especially after your medical expired in Sept 2025)? Or did your rep also just let it process completely naturally without any follow-ups?
