Our outland spousal sponsorship is being processed in Mississauga, it was received in the 13th of February, AOR1 26 march, schedule a, pcc, medicals passed a few days later, than we received communication we would stay in Miss and background check started at the end of april. We are at 4 months mark now and bgc since a month and a half almost, do you think it is time for a call to cic or to order notes?
No, there are quite a few of us in the same boat. Check the February thread, so far only one person who was received Feb 1 has gotten DM, there are plenty others (myself included) with a nearly identical timeline to you. There’s only about 6 people from Jan who have progressed beyond this stage as well. Best case scenario we could hear something at the end of this month but also highly likely we could go another few months without movement.

No, many get sent to NDVO but if you haven’t received anything and you’re on background check then you might still be at Mississauga.

You actually only need the one, I mistakenly thought it was 2 as well but they shredded my other one at the border and had me combine them. The stuff with him and stuff to follow can all go on the one form.

Hello Friends,

I am a Canada PR holder and I am going to file my wife Sponsorship. Currently she is working in US but may travel to different location inside or outside county after I file the application. How will I notify CIC about the change and how will it affect the application?

I read on forums that she can travel to Canada on Visitor VISA, is she eligible to file work permit here?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hey there,

As far as I know, if you want your wife to be with you and stay with you during the process:
  1. First prepare ALL your paperworks/application.
  2. Apply for the Police Check from all the countries that your wife lived over six month and country of her birth, and have the Police check ready in hand.
  3. Once all the paper works are ready, have her come to Canada and send your application to Sydney, Nova Scotia.
  4. If the application is complete, it will take almost 60 days for IRCC to acknowledge the receipt of your application, if lucky, 40 t0 56 days.
  5. I believe at the same time of submitting your application, you can apply for the work permit for her too. If not, you can apply after the submission of the application.
  6. If you follow this way, you are applying for an INLAND application which may take 18 to 24 month, I am not sure about the time line, but you can research more and find out.
  7. In this case, your wife can stay with you till the decision on your application is MADE.
If your wife is not going to stay with you during the process, you may consider applying for an OUTLAND application.

For outland application you mostly have to follow above instructions, except your wife won't be staying with you and the process will take about 12 month.

Research more about an INLAND and OUTLAND applications and then decide what is best for you.

Dont take my words for granted, research research and research.

Good luck.

I wonder if anyone more experienced want to make some guesses about my file. AOR1 April 12th, meds passed June 20th and background check in process that same day. I think my case is pretty straight-forward -- long relationship with marriage last year, identical ages and educational backgrounds, I've a Canadian MA before my PhD. But -- neither my sponsor nor I have received any email about staying in Mississauga or being transferred to my VO (London because I'm Scandinavian). In the SA email, it did not say anything about staying in Mississauga either. Has anyone had similar experiences? ECAS has said "in process" since April 13th or so, but there's no line saying "we started processing..."

Obviously this is very early in the game, I'm just curious as to what might be going on and where my app will end up and wonder if anyone has a clue...

If I had to guess, I think your application has stayed in Mississauga because you haven’t heard anything and your background check has already started. I think it’s more likely they’d not send you the email to say it’s staying than you missing a transfer email and AOR2. I’d expect you won’t hear anything until your background check is finished in around 60-90 days. Unless they need anything eligibility wise but sounds like you’ve got a clear app. Just based on what I’ve read around this site.
