May 2024 - Inland Spousal Sponsorship

[Shiva91]

What are the stages you have left on your cgkey? Eligibility and background check? The background check takes the longest. Mine took around 6-7 months after the pre-arrival letter.

We called them yesterday and they told us
“Officer is working on your background check” and soon you will hear from us and got that letter today .
Medical and biometric were completed already.

Okay, so you are waiting for the background check and eligibility check to be completed. You should hear updates within a couple of months!

I applied for SOWP on July 1 2024 and it was approved July 20 2024, no biometrics were required for me, it seems like a lot of variability in processing time is possible.
As for other timeline updates, I just received my pre-arrival letter today application was originally submitted May 18. But not sure if it means anything? I still see eligibility is in review in the tracker -- I'm applying in Quebec, and I've already received my CSQ on August 19th.

sorry, I meant the gc key, I've never used the other tracker.

I think eligibility remains in review on GCKey even after you receive AIP which says they have determined you're eligible.

Yes, this is true. Eligibility remains "in review" until the final decision is made, at least in my case anyways.

I was never asked for medical. I was informed at a Physical Panel that I did the test to keep the IME form as it can be used for PR application. I just sent the web form with my information and IME# and it was marked as completed without IRCC sending any medical request

This worked. They updated it within a day. Thanks

Still waiting for elibiligty and background check.
