**MISSISSAUGA PROCESSING** - Outland Spousal Applicants

[tx-to-ca]

Background check changed to "in progress" (GCKey), received Pre-Arrival Services mail, and "Decision Made" on ECAS. All on the same day, 13 months in.

Good sign?

Yes, decision made means you are done. Congrats!

Yes, decision made means you are done. Congrats!

Awesome! Thanks. I know pre-arrival means eligibility is passed, but since we also have DM on ECAS, should we also assume background check is finished as well?

Yes, timeline in signature is accurate but doesn't include the three updates from today (DM on ECAS, BGC started, and pre-arrival letter). Hoping we're completely done soon so we can focus on our move! Good luck to you.

Yes. Your Gckey will not update to say the application is completed until your COPR has been mailed out to you.

Sorry, I don't remember it that well because that was a long time ago now, but I remember they sent us an email with the info required to get it linked. Would have been with the AOR email, I think.

You are totally right.

If you have a representative/lawyer, you won't be able to link the application (GCKEY) - you should not try to link it.

You have no choice but to check the ECAS only!

You also can order your GCMS notes depend on your timeline.

Hope this helps!

What happens after I send in my application?

We will:

• review your application to make sure it’s complete
• decide if you are eligible to sponsor
• decide if you are eligible to apply to become a permanent resident of Canada
• tell you when we start processing your application,
• tell you how to get a medical exam, if you did not get one before sending in your application
• do a security screening, to make sure all applicants do not pose a risk to the safety and security of Canadians
• decide if you need to go to an interview
• tell you of the decision we make on your application
