November 2018 Outland Applicants (Spousal Sponsorship)

How stressful, my GCKey did say "Your application has updated" and said they're reviewing my documents, however now it says "Your action is required" but there's no new message?

That is a ghost update. That means it's currently being worked on, it'll be updated once they've finished reviewing the docs!

Hope so. I had to send additional documentation and it seemed fine so I hope I don't need to send more cause that was a lot of content I sent in one big PDF.

Sigh. No updates!!! I have yet to be transferred to Mexico VO - but apparently with Mexico it's par for the course. Almost 1 month since medicals passed and no sign of anything starting in ECAS....



For us PA has not lived anywhere else - ever. And we have one police check. Still no transfer. I feel like there is no pattern to any of this.

I am in the same boat still no word if file transferred to Mexico or any update since medical passed. Here's hoping we get something soon.

Question, did anyone who got a PPR and is an American Applicant have issues finding a courier to send the pre-paid self addressed Envelope to Canada?

We had a hell of a time and the only solution we found was via Fed-Ex. I had to sign up for an account and basically I sent a reusable envelope with our account number for them to charge (International Shipping label) when they send it back. I hope this works. I really wasn't sure what else we could do other than buying stamps from Canada post and making our own self-address envelope.

I had it sent from my place in Canada. I figured it would be quicker. it only took 2-3 days to get it back from them.

This sounds like PPR not CoPR. PPR is passport request in which you have to send off passport/passport photo's and a copy of the email they send you. CoPR is what you receive back from the VO after they receive these documents.

yes I know that and the question was about the form which I got emailed to me to send back to them so they could mail me my copr.

The same goes withmy application. Had the medicals done on March 11 though I can see that they started processing my application but no emails, no other updates even just a notification that we passed the medical exam.

Actually it was this message below that I was responding to as the question was about CoPR, which is why I answered the way I did.

Congrats!

Was the CoPR emailed or mailed to you? If emailed, it's just a matter of printing it out?

it was emailed to me. I had to mail the form back with copy of passport and photos.

My situation is similar to yours. Add docs under review since 1 day. Hope they do not ask for any other docs.

Congratulations. Can you explain what a ghost update is?

Thanks and sorry for the late answer. A ghost update is when Gckey says "Your action is required" but when you click on it there is nothing new in your app. It usually means they are working on your app and something is about to change. For me it was AOR2 so the start of the process. Hope it helps

My hubby got this same instruction:

In your package, include a self-addressed envelope that is A4 size or larger (21cm x
30cm or 8.5” x 12”). Do not put stamps on your return envelope. Do not use a courier
envelope as your return envelope. If your return address is in the UK, you may use a
Royal Mail Special Delivery envelope that is large enough (keep a copy of the tracking
number). For packages signed for on receipt at the High Commission, you may be able
to track receipt via the website of the courier company.​

Does this mean he use a Royal Mail Special Delivery envelope for when they mail back the CoPR so we can track it? Also, Did you manage to sort out the problem for the mycic? My hubby is gonna try to upload his Appendix A and photocopy of passport tonight.

You got really clear instructions that's good, I didn't get anything about an envelope but I will add one like you, no stamps, just my name. That can't hurt the process.

I guess I could've done that to my moms, but being we're both in the US, it made more sense to do it this way.

UPS was horrible, basically rude to us about it. Said no one could help us and that we would have to forward it to a Canadian address and have a person from Canada send it. It was horrible. FedEx was right on the ball and seem to know what they were talking about so heres hoping lol.

We got PPR (photos and photocopy of passport)!!!!!!!! SO HAPPY!!

I think hubby will go either today or tomorrow to drop those off.

BRB, crying forever. #timetouglycry

Congrats
