Not for spouse or common-law sponsorship (you use Kit A). You only need to do the financial evaluation if your situation falls into Kit B.

I was surprised about this (as we didn't have to do financial evaluation for the Canadian application so I thought we'd have to do it for the Quebec application. I called to double check and we don't need it. I submitted my application early Jan and got the CSQ before the end of the month.
omg thanks for your reply. Yes we dont need to fill out the financial evaluation form :) I am a bit worried because the request letter we received last February 1 and my husband didnt notice it and it says on the letter it must be submitted within 30days. we submitted it yesterday (March 6) 6day late :(

Here is our case:
Application received Oct 10 2017
Spnoser approved: 20 Dec 2017
Application linked: Jan 10 2018
Feb 5: Request for RPR and CSQ
Applied Feb 8 for CSQ, but application returned


In February 5, 2018 we were asked to apply for CSQ. As soon as we received the request, we applied for it. This was the letter we got:
====================================================================
Dear ….:

This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada. In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require the following documents:

  • CSQ: Certificat de sélection du Québec from the Ministere de rtmmigration, de la Diversité et de I'lnclusion This must be received at this office by: 2018/03/07

The above information/documents must be received in our office within 30 days from the date of this letter.

===========================================================================

However, Quebec immigration office returned our application and explained that the letter which shows our sponsorship is approved is missing despite the fact that we have received that letter and submitted it for CSQ. also we called them and illustrate for them the situation but they insisted that that letter is missing.
we did not have time because the deadline for submitting our CSQ was march 5 so we sent all above explanation to CIC but we did not receive response. What type of letter should we receive from CIC and submit to Quebec immigration for Approval?
Thanks in advance for help

Hi everyone. Please forgive me for asking this question that you’ve probably answered before. How soon after AOR do you get the CSQ request?
Mine only came at the end of the process... 11 months. I don't really understand how it works. Some people get the letter requesting the CSQ at the very beginning and some at the very end..

You need to send the invitation letter you get from the CIC inviting you to apply for the CSQ. Ours came with the sponsor approval letter. I think when you get this letter depends on whether you apply inland or outland.

Well we applied inland, and we got the letter from CIC to apply for CSQ but Immigration Quebec says this is not THE letter, in the letter they accept it has to be expliciltly written that "Parinage est recevable" or "undertsaking (sponsership) is approved" but our letter as I put it in my previous post doesnt explictly state that, depite the fact that we submited the "approved sponsership" letter.

Have a look through the prior communications you received from IRCC. This paragraph was in a letter we received from the IRCC that my partner had been approved to sponsor. We didn't get a separate letter inviting us to apply.

If you don't have the invitation, you will need to contact the IRCC for this document as the MIDI won't process your CSQ without it.

Good morning.
Does anyone know if applicants are able to go to the government sponsored French classes with work permit and Quebec selection certificate?
