Hello everyone
The status of my Application Status Tracker has been "in progress" for "background verification" for 2~ months now. I've gotten biometrics & Canada has rendered my husband (Canadian) eligible to sponsor me (an American). I haven't been asked to take a medical exam and don't believe I'll have to take one, as when I asked previously while getting a visitors visa, they told me I won't, but it is advised. Ultimately that may change and lengthen the process.
They received our application on Nov 17, 2023, and our eligibility status was updated to "Eligible" on Dec 19, 2023.
Since then, it's been at background verification. I know it's only 2 months but, as the rental market is a little crazy, I want to work ASAP so that we can be comfortable, and not just getting by. I'm not a skilled worker so I didn't find that I could get work before moving here.
Open work permits are taking 2-4 months to process so, I'm wondering if it's likely our PR will be processed soon.
If not, what would be the estimated time range to complete the background verification + PR entirely(as a U.S. citizen)? Thank you for those who the entire thing
