Processing time for spousal visa - Sri Lanka

[sama94]

@sama94 have you gotten your medical done and background check started?

I hope it's a good sign that you have done medicals. Hopefully your app will move along to to the next step without any delay.

I completed my medicals on May 8th. Background check states in process since the day I received AOR. Let's see

I haven't received biometric request yet.

Hi Keerthi,

After you submitted your PCCs what does you addition documents status say? They asked me for my PCCs back in March and ever since i sent them the documents my status said "we are reviewing your additional documents...." only couple of weeks ago it changed to "we have received your additional documents " and I got my biometrics collection request. This process is so mentally draining and confusing lol. Hope you hear something back soon.

Hi,
How long they will take for background checking? Because 40 days remaining for me to expiration of my medical. Why do they taking such a long time for background checking?

@Raniro first of all congratulations! Just wanted to ask whether you attended the pre-arrival services?

It’s really frustrating but have you tried sending them a webform enquiry requesting more info about your status?

Hi ,
I'm November 2018 applicant. May 14th they asked 2nd time PCC request. My status said "we are reviewing your additional documents...." until now.

 

[Keerthi96]

My estimated processing bar shows only 25 days . I didn't hear anything.

Yes I did but they didn’t reply. Our MP said their still on my background checking. That’s what I want to know how long they’ll take for background checking?

 

[yoge]

this is what i get from our mp last week

We can provide you with the following details for your constituent about the status of an application to sponsor a spouse living outside Canada:

• The application was received at the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga (CPC-M), Ontario, on July 24, 2019.
• The responsible office is currently reviewing the application and documents submitted to determine if the sponsored person (the applicant) meets the eligibility requirements.
  • the assessment for the applicant is still in process at the Canadian visa office in Colombo.
• The medical examination results are on file and valid until August 11, 2020, for the applicant.
• The criminality verifications are currently valid.
• The security verifications have not been initiated.

What Assessment There Are Doing in Colombo
last year they are refuse our application and we appeal against visa officer decision and won this year
so why again they are re assessment and how long its took
this is very irritating procedure

That is way too long eh. 25 days to the 1 year mark? Should get the MP involved and send them an enquiry. It's hard to even guess how they operate because everyone have different timelines even with similar applications.
