QUEBEC 2020 OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

[Marcos_Bastos]

In my case after my wife(she is the sponsor) got the CSQ on the mail, she just scanned it and I sent the scanned copies to the VO that's doing the paperwork, in our case its in Mexico. Afterward, they said they had attached it to my application and that it was good to go.

Hi devolin182
Mine is in Mexico as well.
How did you send the CSQ copies to Mexico VO?

HI

Hi @CCarter ,

I just called them and they said that my application in in process. That was comforting.
They also said they sent the AOR, but I never received it.
Will share news as I have them.

In reply to your question:
No, they did not send anything saying my cc was charged.

Cheers

I wonder if they have the correct address? I got a notification of the credit card charge in the mail.

Hi all,

CSQ issued. Super happy here.
Funny thing is that I had never received AOR, neither the confirmation that my card was charged.

Let's wait for the next steps.
For those that had CSQ issued either in november or now in December... Did you get the AOR2 already?

Regards,
Marcos

Our CSQ was issued in September 2020. We haven’t heard anything since then. No AOR2, no medical request. No updates since March. We’re February applicants and our VO is Mississauga....

For me I was asked both the CSQ and the medical at the same time via email.

Interesting! May I ask how the medical request was worded ? I went back to read our email but there was only a request for the CSQ ‍! Merci, Josée

The email I received looked like this:

Hi all,

Quick update.
Even though I did not receive a formal e-mail, my application arrived in MEXICO VO and I guess I have the AOR.
I sent the CSQ's of my wife and her kid by e-mail and I got a response from them, saying that the CSQ's were received and attached to my file.

Marcos

Hi Marcos, How did you find out about your application arriving in Mexico VO? Was it updated online ?
Thank you

great news!

When I got the email that I was approved as a sponsor it said they would be sending it to Mexico. I never got an AOR from Mexico but in the back and forth of trying to figure out why it says we didnt do biometrics, they confirmed they had it. FYI my file still says they have not received fingerprints even though they confirmed they did.

 

[Marcos_Bastos]

Hi @CCarter, how are you?
Quick question:
Where did you submit the Biometrics for your application?

Mine was not submitted yet, because VFS's were closed in Brazil. They resumed Biometrics collection but all slots finished in less than a minute and there are no more available days/time for collecting Biometrics.

I was wondering if it would be worth it for my wife, to come to Canada and having her Biometrics taken here.

Marcos

Hey Marcos,

My husband did his biometrics at the visa office in his country Trinidad and Tobago, they reopened back in August and have stayed open. The country is closed to all non-citizens and citizens need approval for entry.

If your wife has a visa to come here then by all means she should as you could see her and get the biometrics done at the same time. I'm not really sure where she can do that here though. I seem to remember people in Canada having to leave to do their biometrics but maybe things have changed.

Take care,
Charmaine

Hi @CCarter. Thank you.
We finally managed to schedule her Biometrics collection for February 24 in Brazil.

She hasn't received the medical request yet. I was just wondering if this will happen only after Biometrics are received in Visa office in Mexico.

Marcos

Thats great news.

I think the medical request generally comes after biometrics. I still didnt get one and they still havent updated my file to say they got the biometrics so im not holding my breath but I saw the others in the google doc who got biometrics got them acknowledged right away so I think you'll be good to go. . Once the medicals are done they are only good for a year so I guess its better to have a little delay in doing them. It doesnt mean they arent looking at your file.

cheers

Thank you @CCarter.
I am keeping my fingers crossed. I will give you news when I have them.

Hi everyone. Hope all of you are safe and healthy.

I have a question and I would love if somebody could help me.

I am sponsoring my brazilian wife (Outland Quebec).
We have received her and her son's CSQs. The application is in visa office in Mexico now. I sent them an e-mail with some questions (nicely answered) and they replied that for now, the Immigration section of the Canadian Embassy in Mexico City is currently working with essential staff only and providing essential urgent services through teleworking. This limits our ability to process paper-based applications such as permanent residence applications.

Well, it does not seem things will be moving anytime soon.


Back when I applied, in Feb 2020, I wondered if it would have been a good idea to apply for her Work Visa and for her kids Study Visa.
Given that applications were usually processed around 12 months, and that our plan, since last year, was for them to arrive in Mid April 2021, we decided not to apply for it. Nobody knew about COVID back then.

So, question is - FINALLY ;-)
Do you think it is worth to apply for her work visa and for her kid's study visa now?
Is it possible to be done now, after Quebec approved and issued their CSQs?

Thank you so much.
