A member received an additional-documents request after submitting a Letter of Intent stating they planned to move out of Quebec, backed by a company transfer letter and details of relatives in Toronto — but the transfer hadn't been processed yet.
What the thread suggested:- Add more concrete, forward-looking evidence of the planned move, such as schools researched for any children, job applications submitted outside Quebec, and specific apartments being searched for in the new location — these strengthen the credibility of an intent that hasn't fully materialized yet.
- Consider getting your clarification letter notarized. A member suggested finding a lawyer to notarize the Letter of Explanation — you sign in their presence and they add a stamp/note, which can add credibility to your explanation.
- Be aware refusal is a real possibility in cases like this, and consider seeking legal help given the added complexity and reliance on a not-yet-processed transfer.
Takeaway: when your "intent to move out of Quebec" is challenged before the move is finalized, back it with tangible, dated evidence (school searches, job applications, apartment hunting) rather than only a transfer letter and family ties, and weigh getting the explanation notarized or getting legal advice given the refusal risk.
