Quebec Skilled Worker Federal Stage (After CSQ)

[Martin 87]

What is pre-arrival? Is this the letter that explains how to get a job, live and utilize services associated with immigration, so you are equipped before landing?

I didn't receive it yet! I have no idea what it includes!

I think this is the letter that comes after medical is approved. I received such letter after medicals showed approved.

What is pre-arrival letter mean?

Inland or outland everyone should receive prearrival.

Maybe I am wrong, but pre-arrival services is not for people living outside Canada?(https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/new-life-canada/pre-arrival-services/eligibility.html)

Actually its for those that live outside Canada. I live in the United States currently so this is why it was sent to me

For all those who applied for PR and received AOR in the second half of 2018, will they require biometrics before granting PR? If so, the COVID-19 situation will delay the final decision.

We have had our medicals. Unfortunately, something was flagged on my husband's Xray which has been since been cleared by specialist, but I'm afraid that it delayed the process. Once immigration receives the clearance, it should be straightforward path to acceptance (I can't believe they will raised anything about travel history or police certificates at this late stage 89% complete) but the new requirement for biometrics could throw a spanner in the works. What has your experience been? When I look at the timelines shared in the last few weeks, there is no mention biometrics which gives me hope...

If you applied to federal stage before 31st July 2018, then you will be exempt from biometrics as the law of biometrics came into effect after the said date.

IRCC has the right to ask for further documents like police certificates or any other documents they deem necessary to process your application after the medical exam communication e-mail is sent from them.

Argh! I applied on August 2nd 2108 so I guess I fall in the biometrics group! Is there anyone else who applied after 31st July who has had to give biometrics recently? Do you think they will issue PR without biometrics given the extraordinary situation? One can hope...

We all want to see our PR email a.s.a.p. However, there are rules we should abide to as per IRCC and the government of Canada. As such, it is best to be patient and watch out for the e-mails that you receive from them. If you applied after July 31st, then as per the rule logically speaking, you would have to do your biometrics.

I have done biometrics in March 2020, but not yet MR. I applied from Oct 2018. Biometrics are mandatory. You will receive the emails by calling IRCC.

PEQ stands for Program d'experience quebecoise and it gives a privileged qnd faster access to become a citizen to those who are already living in quebec.

Really is only to get the CSQ faster, after that everything is the same. (permanent resident application)

 

[josh_1982]

Yes, it is only for the CSQ, which takes around 3 weeks. The federal step is the same as everybody else. Indeed we applied for the federal (after CSQ was approved) in September 2018, and it seems that the decision was made last week.
