Received Passport & New COPR today. Also , received 5/6 pages of informational sheet for new comer. There are 2 points in the sheet which confused me.

• If you plan to settle in the province of Quebec, you must be in possession of a valid CSQ (that is valid on the date the permanent resident visa was issued).
• Reminder: if you are going to Quebec, make sure you have a valid CSQ. Valid means here valid at the time the permanent resident visa was issued.

My CSQ issued Aug 2017 / CSQ expired Aug 2020. Application filed March 2019. My CSQ is already expired last year before I received the PR visa. Will this be of any issue? Any idea anyone ?

As far as I know, CSQ is required for applicant to apply for a PR. After a decision is made, CSQ is no longer required. I have found this: "Section 108 of the Règlement sur l’immigration au Québec (RIQ), which came into effect on August 2, 2018, specifies that Quebec Selection Certificates (CSQs) issued after the coming into force of the RIQ are valid for a duration of 24 months or until a decision is rendered on the permanent residence application by virtue of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).

Therefore, since August 2, 2018, MIFI no longer renews CSQs. CSQs are now issued for 24 months and are valid for the duration of the permanent residence application, even if the 24-month period has passed. In addition, CSQs issued before August 2, 2018, that are valid for 36 months remain valid for the duration of the permanent residence application, even if the 36 months have passed."

Which visa office is processing your application? Did you call them to inquire about your application?

I have checked that site before but reading those 2 points in the sheet along with COPR & PRV just confused me. CSQ valid for 2 years now and they take more than 2 years to finalize the file. Logically that ` valid on the date the permanent resident visa was issued` point doesn`t make any sense though. Thank you for the detailed info.
