I am in Surrey, BC. Yes, it is true. IRCC is not finalizing applications where a dependent is outland. According to IRCC, all the people on the applicant has to be inside Canada. An IRCC call center agent advised me that you can call you husband here on a visitor visa and then inform us and then we can do something.I live in Calgary, and I am waiting for the Biometrics call.
Please mention the name of place you are residing now.
I had one more query, donno if you can answer.
Is there any couple, where primary applicant staying in Canada and spouse is outland- successfully completed PR process, and got COPR's?
I heard that IRCC is putting such applications on HOLD. Is it true?
