Spousal sponsorship

So far that copr number jist means they've allocated a number to your file.
It means approved when you get the passport request.
I am an Inland applicant, not outlander.
How much do you think i should wait after getting copr document number. Because as i said, on Ecas it says decision made..
All right, until the portal letter or whatever it's called.
And no idea. My point was that the copr number is a technical step and we do not know how long it may take after that.
Hello,
my wife as PA got her visa and coming to Canada. On paper when applying the destination intended to live mentioned Toronto. Now I am in Ottawa and want to get a ticket to Ottawa. As Montreal is close to Ottawa and now fares are slightly cheaper I am planning to get her a ticket to Montreal and then I go to pick up my wife at Montreal airport and bringing her to Ottawa. Is it a problem that her final destination on the ticket is QC and different from forms?

It should not be a problem (both cities are in Ontario). She can tell the officer her onward travel plan (spouse picking her up and travel with private vehicle)
Hey I sent it through the webform and received an email a week later acknowledging its receipt. You should have instructions on how to submit it on the email they sent you. You can also submit it through the GCKey platform if you linked your application there.
You can either flagpole, leave and return or validate it at an IRCC office. Most inland applicants are receiving eCOPRs which don't require leaving Canada
I have PR .I recently got married and applied visitor visa for my spouse . After waiting for two months we lost hope on visitor visa approval and applied for spouse PR and not received AOR yet … now we got passport request for visitor visa. She may travel to canada immediately. What will happen to our Outland spousal sponsorship? What is the best case for my spouse to get PR. If she gets Spousal PR approved while she is in Canada, does she need to go to home country ?
Did you read armoured message above you?
He said:
Outland applicants who are in Canada when they receive ppr can do the same virtual landing as inland applicants.
If IRCC knows the applicant is in Canada, they should offer this as default.
Same applies to you. Once your spouse arrives in Canada you update IRCC with her new address.
If they require an interview she may have to leave but not all applications lead to an interview.
@Jazzed, @armoured, and @Kaibigan, thanks again, folks!
To update regarding the certified true copy issue: We managed to get a certified true copy of my spouse's birth certificate from the Consulate General of Mexico here in Vancouver. All we had to do was make an appointment 3 days ahead and pay $21 in cash for the service. My spouse went and picked it up with no issues.
Additional question:
- Now that we have a certified true copy in Spanish, we need to get it translated to English or French. It's noted that the translator will need to stamp both the translated copy, and a certified copy. We've phoned around to all the translation services out there, and none is willing to have us mail in the physical certified true copy to be translated and stamped. They say to submit a scanned copy online. Whilst we can do this, we are inherently making a non-certified copy by scanning it. Will this copy need to be certified by a notary public again once the translation is done and the scanned copy is stamped by the translator to certify that it matches with our original certified true copy we got from the consulate?
This is such a headache (and I apologise for another dense forest of a paragraph above but I hope it makes sense); we just don't want to risk having the application sent back as incomplete due to some stupid bureaucratic red tapes.
Thank you in advance!

Hi guys, hope everyone's having a lovely evening!
I (current PR) am sponsoring my wife (Mexican) via the inland spousal sponsorship application. We have a few questions and doubts, hoping any kind souls who've had experience with this process can help out:
My wife has her original birth certificate here with her in Canada along with her current passport. We were initially under the impression that we just had to get them translated by a certified translator, and include a photocopy of the original and the certified translated copy in the package. We later found out that the photocopy of the originals need to be <fancy-pants>government-certified true copies</fancy-pants> as stated above.
- Background: Under the Country specific requirements, it's noted as followed:
- Mexico – Instruction(s) for documents
- "Official documents issued by this country must be government-certified true copies (copies certified as authentic by the issuing governmental authority, signed and sealed)."
- Questions:
- What are the documents that you need to get government-certified true copies of?
- Birth certificate and passport? Anything else?
- How did you do get the government-certified true copies from inside Canada?
- Did you visit the local Mexican (or your respective country) embassy?
- Is the process different and separated for the birth certificate and the passport?
- Please kindly outline a step-by-step process.
- If you had to return to Mexico or your respective country to get these certified copies from the "issuing governmental authority", please kindly share the process.
As a veteran of this forum, I trust that there are people who've had the same questions and experience and are able to help. I combed through Google, this forum, reddit, etc., but was not able to find any clear answers. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
