Concerning about Carte de sejour

I see that you have not met the French administration firsthand. I've been there and abandoned the whole idea of getting a carte de séjour. (I decided to stay on my British passport, rather than the Canadian.) If they haven't phoned back in 5 months, they aren't going to do so before your visa expires. Frankly, I'm sorry if I offend any French people on this site, but it's really the exceptional civil servant here who cares. 

You can try to phone 3939 Allô Service Public for the real information.

Actually, this is my 3rd year of renewing and before i stayed in the area of Charente Maritime and did my carte de sejour there before i moved to Bordeaux. I guess the problem is because since we moved to a new place or we have a new adress makes it complicated? but we already did everything like calling, send a letter and email them too. About calling them, it's another problem too, difficult to get through and there's no person we can contact about this matter, they just asked us to email them. So after that, how long do i have to wait for that again for them to response? i hope i will not get penalty for this...!

Hi

That's why I think you should call 3939 rather than the prefecture because they can tell you what your rights are in this situation.

Try to go to the prefecture instead of calling or even writing them.
Take all necessary papers with you.
Good luck

yes, agree with Shainake.. i had the same issue, try to renew my carte de sejour by calling them and never answered, but once i come directly to the prefecture, they gave the answer.

thanks all! Finally i received a respond letter from them and looks like i have to do it all over again hmm..well lets see how long will it take for having it renew again ...

good, happy for you, and hopefuly it wont take very long.
Would you share here when you ve done it and how long it takes?
I would love to know too, thanks in advance.

yea sure..no probleme  will update soon..
