My husband received a permanent residence portal invitation and we submitted our file together in July 2021. I, his wife, and I have a child outside Canada. What are the next steps after making the decision for my husband? What are the next steps? Will they open my file? We follow the France office.
First, Your Husband has to get COPR.
Then you will get a mail from France High Commision.
Processing depends on case to case.
Normally they will ask for related documents.
It could be any documents.
If they think they will interview you, they can invite you for interview.
If they satisfied with everything
Then later process is Medical and Fingerprint.
Some high commision asked for medical first, some not. Depends on the consular officer.
Now the main question is not every overseas office maintain the same time limit.
So for France office, search in this forum, writting FRANCE in the search box.
Chq threads and everything. Then you will understand what is the time likely France consulate took.
