*** September 2020 - Outland Spousal (Family Class) Sponsorship ***
- Thread starter Korion
- Start date
My spouse (PA) is wanting to attend a Canadian school program. In order to do so she must be a PR by November 15, 2021. Our life plans will depend on her attending the program or not. Our app was received in Sydney on September 15, 2020. What do you think our chances are of her getting PR in 14 months? I know, I know, nothing can really be predicted...but do y’all think it’s a reasonable risk to take?
Not sure what you mean by your life plan? There are many things that will come into play that nobody here can predict. AOR's seem to be coming in a few months now but that's only the beginning of the process. There can be delays in background and other checks that can cause delays, sometimes big or small depending on where the PA is located, also have to take account for any possible Covid caused delays. If everything goes good I think you have a reasonable chance of getting it by then.
Another option is to apply for a study visa.
Thank you...sadly the program doesn’t accept international students. We are trying to decide if we should buy a house or not, long story, the program is tied up with finances. Hopefully ours will move at a reasonable pace, she is American and we have no dependents/prior marriage/crim history.
I'm hopeful Sept 2020 filers will be approved within 12 months. Don't rush any decisions about school. I'd wait until the end of Q1 to see how things are going with other applicants. I wouldn't worry too much about March/April applicants as their file is likely stuck on someone's desk in their office. Our files are all scanned for home based workers so I'm hopeful our files will move at the pre-pandemic rate of 12 months.
Stay positive.
I am so exhausted with my 15 month old and then regular studies.. I don’t know why I am posting this but I check the forums obsessively and docs google sheet also.. why the hell we are not getting through .. can someone suggest me that shall I go back to my country and leave my child as we have a lot of help there and also his dad .. and I come back with better focus.. when will this Aor come?? Or shall we wait for it?? I don’t think that spousal speed up process is at par with their promises.... uuugggghhhhh!!!!!!! Is anyone in same boat
You only submitted in September, don't expect AOR for another couple of months. Work on finding some relaxation methods, you have quite away to go yet before your app will be completed. Try to relax.
I feel for you. Even if AOR comes, it will be awhile before COPR. Do what you need to do, to take care of yourself and your child. You’re not alone and you WILL make it through this!! Hang in there <3
For what it’s worth, I noticed July and August started receiving AORs again last week. July especially made great progress. I think it’s reasonable to expect some September AORs to start slowly trickling in a month or so....
I'm sorry for your challenge. It sounds very hard.
Take one day at a time knowing that you've applied so the countdown has started even though it's taking a long time. Keep in mind that processing time is 12 months even before Covid. So while it's hard not knowing we're hopefully 1/3 of the way there.
Looking at the spreadsheet there continues to be new AORs listed for July and Aug 2020 applicants so we should be seeing ours soon.
