October 2024 - Inland Spousal Sponsorship

[Daksh131]

Its been 4 months since i applied. Got 2 AOR (1st in September 2d in December) , no updates since then no BIL or nothing. Im in the same boat. 4 months is such a long time for not having no updates.

Is it normal timeline or is it just happening with us ?

Is it normal timeline or is it just happening with us ?

from what i know, it’s normal for inland application

There is no any fix order timeline, there are some people who are not receiving AOR as the first step, some people just getting their BIL or medical as first step. Ircc recently changed the processing time for family sponsorship application from 12 months to 24 months. Not sure if that is something affecting our files as well.

Also, 99% applicants of October 2024 (inland) haven't received BIL yet. Most of them are still expecting their AOR. So i guess this timeline should be normal.

Quick question for others - Principal Applicant has to travel out of Canada to India for a family ceremony for 4 weeks. PA's SOWP was approved today and has TRV until Dec 2025.
Would it affect their entry back into Canada if they travelled for 4 weeks while inland PR is being processed?

Thanks everybody.

But I checked the tracker and others are receiving BIL immediately after receiving AOR
In below case same happened

It may vary. Link your application on your GCkey and register to the PR tracker if you haven't done so, so you can see the progress there.

Hi i just wanted to know
After submitting SOWP application, did you receive any next action step to do ? Or directly received the approval?
cz i have heard in case of SOWP, after submitting the application you directly get the approval/ rejection?

most of the case yes, except only biometric is required for those who didn't provide any biometric before

 

[Daksh131]

I attended my biometric appointment today, but due to a skin condition or possibly genetic factors, my fingerprints are not as prominent as others. As a result, the prints did not appear clearly. The biometric officer noted that it was impossible to capture clear fingerprints.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue? If so, what was the outcome?

Your input would be greatly appreciated.
