A guy from another thread said that he and his two other friends applied in November/December 2013 after getting CSQ through PEQ. They got the PR visa in December 2014.

Did you get any status updates?

 

[canada88]

The last update was in may 2014.

I see. Well, you should be hopefully getting something in the next couple of months.

Apparently there have also been cases where it merely took 8 months.
I'm also wondering whether the processing times will decrease now due to the change of the system. It is evident that they now have a lack of incoming PR applications since everyone applying under Express Entry will require an LMIA which is issued by Service Canada and not by CIC itself. The volume of incoming PR applications will significantly decrease in general since the system is making it almost impossible to acquire a positive LMIA, hence only a few lucky ones will even get to the stage where they are able to submit their PR applications. Considering that the LMIA process takes about 1-2 months, CIC now should have enough time to work on the backlog.

At least that's what I hope they are doing. They better are! I want my PR!

Well I sure hope so!
My friend got it in 8 months. He applied in early 2013. My other friend who applied in December 2013 didn't still get a status update that says the application is in process! :/
When did you file your PR (federal) application?

 

[Marlee]

It was filed on December 8, 2014.
I am still scared that it might be returned for whatever reason since I would then have to resubmit it under the new regulations (which is pretty much pointless). And getting married to my Canadian boyfriend for immigration purposes? The most unromantic thing ever!
Not to mention the extra time it would take to reapply under the Family Class...Jesus!

I sent papers for federal step at the end of September 2014 and still dont have AOR....

Sometimes it takes about 3 months, and with all the holidays, you should expect it very soon. You can also email them. I did so, but it took them like a month to reply.

Hey guys!

I am currently applying for PEQ as a Quebec Graduate.
I have all my documents necessary ready except, I'm super confused about some parts of the application form (Demande de certificat de sélection du Québec - Programme de l'expérience québécoise (PEQ) - Diplômé du Québec)


Could you please kindly help me with this? (Questions I have, below in regards to the PDF of the form

1. Page 10 of PDF --> In the "Contrat" section, I have no idea of what I am supposed to put in the blank with the "$ CAD".
(Am I supposed to put the total of the calculation from the section below "CALCUL DU MONTANT MINIMUM REQUIS RELATIF AUX BESOINS ESSENTIELS" or should I put the total amount that I will have in my bank for the 3 months that they are mentioning?)

2. Page 6 of PDF--> Section 11. --> "Une fois que vous aurez obtenu votre CSQ, à quel Bureau canadien des visas déposerez-vous votre demande de visa de résident permanent ?" --> I work and currently reside in Quebec. I am confused as to whether I should mention "Quebec/Montreal" as where I will apply for PR or whether I have to name a certain office. If so, which office should I mention if I plan to apply for PR from Montreal, Quebec?

I would really really appreciate your help, guys

I need some advice!

I sent my PEQ application through in October. At the time I had a certificate from my highschool stating that I had done a 3 year full time french immersion program, along with another certificate from the college of my French professor in Quebec stating that my level was B2.

Unfortunately both of those were not recognised by the government, so they sent me a letter back in November stating that I needed to supply a recognised French accreditation by January 5th.

I signed up to the next TCF test at College Stanislas in Quebec City on December 13, BUT they told me the results would not be sent out for 6 weeks!

So then I wrote back to the ministry asking for an extension, and did the test. The ministry wrote back on December 19th to say that my PEQ application was refused and the file is closed, and to apply for the temporary workers program!

Today I finally received the results of the test, and I've passed with a B2 for the orale expression & comprehension.

What can I do in this situation?

Can I send my results to the ministry and ask them to re-open my file?
If I get refused once from the PEQ can I re-apply again, or is that avenue closed to me now?
If I can re-apply and send a new PEQ application do I have to pay $750 again?
