Will CIC wait for CSQ before starting Stage 2?

[candude8]

I got stage one approval and need to present CSQ Request as we are applying to Quebec.
I do not have my SIN number (which is needed for CSQ Request/Quebec undertaking) and will have access to my card/number in the next 3-4 weeks, time at which I will send the CSQ Request /Quebec undertaking, which will then take 1+ month to proceed.

During this time, will CIC halt all processing on my file, or will go through the queue regularly?

I'm guessing my file will probably not be touched in it's first two month, but I'm asking anyways out of curiosity, to know if I should be worried and try to get to my SIN card earlier.

Thanks for the help.

They may start processing (you won't know about it) but nothing will be finalized until the CSQ has been issued.

It seems Quebec bound applications should tick the box to CARRY on with the application if the sponsor is deemed ineligible.
Otherwise, if you pick to withdraw, CIC will wait for CSQ before they touch your file.

2. My next note concerned the fact that I am a Quebec-bound applicant and was added by CHC London saying "QUEBEC - SPONSOR HAS OPTED TO DISCONTINUE IF FOUND INELIGIBLE, SO WE CANNOT PUT CASE INTO PROCESS UNTIL WE RECEIVE CSQ, E-MAIL SENT TO PI REQUESTING COPY OF CSQ." and indeed I did receive said email on that date. What I think can be inferred from that is that if you tick the box choosing to abandon your application in the event that the sponsor is found ineligible, you might very well be causing yourself a slight delay in processing, but the merits of each choice are discussed elsewhere on this forum anyway. If you know your sponsor is a dead cert for approval, this is possibly something to consider. But clearly it depends on the visa office and their usual timescales. In my case, I can see that London reviewed my file and made all of its decisions remarkably quickly (less than two months after sponsor approval) regardless of this supposed delay.
