Quebec Skilled Worker Federal Stage (After CSQ)

[kiminthepresent]

Hi guys,

Is there anyone who contacted MP of their borough regarding PR?

I am an August 2019 applicant and I wrote an e-mail to MP to track my application status.

Here is what I received:
The initial assessment to ensure your constituent's application is complete, is still in process.

First, I felt relieved as I misunderstood that the initial assessment of my application was complete meaning IRCC won't return my application.
However, after reading the sentence multiple times, I was in despair as it means IRCC didn't even open my file until now which has passed over 1 year from the delivery date of my application and there is still a possibility that IRCC might return my application.

I wonder if there is anyone who submitted PR application under QSW and entered the Express Entry pool at the same time.

I hope the hearsay about agents back to work in September is true and I hope we all get good news from IRCC, AOR at least.

Fingers crossed for all of us.

Hi @ncat99,
Because you got COPR, did federal send you information about biometrics?

Nops, I am exempt from Biometrics because I am Inland and applied in early 2019. Its written in my GCMS notes that the applicant is exempt from Biometrics.

Good news, can you share the part of your GCMS notes with that information??
Thanks

I have a question that bothers me too much, that how come it is possible that without the clear instructions from either the Immigration minister or prime minister the file agents for Quebec applicant didn't process the file. As same agent process the file in less than 11 months in 2017, 2018.

So there should be something fishy inside the department that nobody is telling us, either writing the emails to the MPs wouldn't make any difference yet.

Hi Folks,
I got my CSQ last Feb 2020.. Submitted my paper application by mid of last April 2020.. No news regarding my application status since that, not even sure it’s received by them or not ...
Is this normal please?
Thanks

I don't understand your question, what do you mean by clear instructions?

I believe that MP can make a difference but not a miracle. It depends where you are stuck, but IRCC are forced to give more information than the standard letter - wait. You need to pass the official proceeding time before seeking assistance.

Hello everyone!
I have sent my application in March 2020
For PR. I understand Quebec's immigration process is different compared to other provinces. However, if IRCC can finalize PR application in 6 months (for express entry), clearly if for Québec as well such a program is introduced, we will not have to wait 2-3 years just to get PR. Especially, since in QC, BOWP is not even an option while waiting for PR.

I got nothing against outland applicants, but while travel restrictions are in place and considering that there're a huge number of inland applicants, I think priority could be given to inland applicants. Also, since inland applicants need to find ways to maintain a legal status here.

Maybe, we could all start getting in touch with media or the immigration minister to see what can be done.

There are NO travel restrictions for the people who have been approved to become a permanent resident of Canada, but who are not yet permanent residents.

Congratulate your friend on behalf of me, that’s a real challenge of patience.

This is Nonsense and it's not true even if they told you that over the phone.
Based on the government website which they update monthly number of PR granted these are the numbers for this year for Quebec Skilled worker (PEQ, REG) :
JAN: 1585
FEB: 1365
MAR: 960
APR: 120
MAY: 350
JUNE: 435
Obviously they're not working in full capacity BUT FOR SURE THEY ARE OPERATING.
AND These numbers are for all the immigration programs in Quebec which they grant PR:
JAN: 3195
FEB: 2810
MAR: 1960
APR: 195
MAY: 1425
JUNE: 1365
How they prioritize the applications is unknown but they're working even during the peak of pandemic.

Agree, Quebec in the middle of things is behaving reasonably issuing stuff. The big problem are the Feds in Sydney which have been out of the office. Might be worth checking if they came back
