Outland Spouse Application
I am from Philippines while my husband is now in Canada. We got married April 2017 He passed the application through mail and sent it to Missassauga office. Here’s our timeline:
Aug 17- VO received the application in missassauga
Sept 27- They requested me to link the application online
Sept 29- sponsor eligibility accepted
Oct 3 - Received Police clearance request and schedule A form online
Oct 4- I received the Medical request letter
Oct 6- Uploaded my police clearance from Philippines and Schedule A form but I had to write an excuse letter for the delay of my Police clearance from Japanese embassy (where I have PR visa) and attached a proof
Oct17-done with my medical exam and vaccine for immunization. Results seem normal but I think VO will receive it 2-3 working days.

I don’t have any idea what will be the next steps after this but I hope the rest of the requirements will be sent to me soon! Do you guys think there will be an interview? I asked my mom in law she said when she sponsored his husband year 2012 or 2013 there were no interviews for spouse visa?

Hello, I have a question. My wife received her Police Cert this afternoon. She's from Cuba. I know it has to be translated but CIC wants it by Oct 21. Can I scan it now, upload it and then upload the translated Cert with an explanation?

I need help. I am sponsoring my husband from Ethiopia, he is a Kenyan we applied June of 2016. His medical expired last May. No update on GCKey No new medical request, we sent them several emails, my local MP even got in touch with them regarding our case, all response are the same " in process/ under active officer review."

We re beyond frustrated and feel helpless. I don't know what is going on. We have been married for 5 yes and have a 2yr ol together
Is anyone in a similar situation?.

Yes, you should upload the existing certificate without a translation and add a note where you explain that you are still waiting for the translation and will add it as soon as you get all done.

If you have a representative, then he/she will get all the correspondence from the immigration office in Mississauga and then from your local VO. And then share it with you.
It will be:
AOR1 - notifying that they received your file (checked that all docs are there and they don't need to return it to you)
Request for Police Clearance (PPC) and Schedule A (background info form) as well as Medical request.
Sponsor Approval
Transferring file to visa office (VO)
Then wait for long time (around 6 months or more or less) for passport request.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply if im not mistaken they have change the time frame of the this process maximum of 1 year.. is that right? And is there any way that they can deny you because of medical reason.. coz i saw on cic website that there is an exemption if your under a family class sponsorship if you are the spouse or child of the sponsor though u still have to go through medical but wont matter regardless of result..am i right? Please do correct me if this is not right.. this is just based on my understanding from cic site..

Yes, officially it says that 80% of cases will be processed withing 1 year. But it appears to be a bit quicker usually.
According to the medical, they mostly don't want to see people with some scary contagious diseases like TB, HIV and syphilis.

Yes exactly.. thats what i saw on their site..
It says Excessive demand on Canadian health care or social services

This provision is not applicable on a convention refugee or a spouse and a child of a sponsor. The spouse or a child of an inadmissible person is also exempt from this provision.

Hopefully ours will be quick as well though the medical condition doesnt really apply to me i just got curious about it..
