A CSQ is valid for two years and cannot be renewed, so you must file your federal permanent residence application within that window.
After Quebec selects you as a skilled worker, it issues a CSQ that is valid for two years. This certificate is the first step and is what lets you apply to IRCC for permanent residence.
The two-year validity cannot be renewed, so timing matters. You need to submit your permanent residence application to IRCC during the period the CSQ is valid. Letting the CSQ lapse before applying can mean restarting the Quebec selection process, so apply promptly once you receive it.
