Yes indeed, i am inland main applicant. Have 1 dependant which is my spouse, we've both been living and working in Canada since 2017.
Sorry, it seems you're skilled worker with spouse dependent. Spousal refers to a Canadian citizen or PR sponsoring their spouse. You're asking in the wrong forum and processing procedures may be different.

I am still with my words above. Few things can delay PPR as I have read here in exceptional cases Background takes many months; which includes bunch of checks. May try contacting local MP and VO will have to reply within a week. Lat us know what reply came to MP's office. Thank you.

So PPR means background check is complete? Can VO request passport while background check is in progress and then it could take months? How about DM? Does it also mean background check is complete?

Thank you. My spouse received PPR last week. GCkey still shows background check in progress that's why I was wondering! Maybe GCkeys not updated?
GCKey will not show any updates until the visa/copr are actually issued. Completely normal.

Why? I have no idea.

PPR means nothing is due, or going on in the backgrounds. Once you get the PPT stamped with COPR, you can go ahead book the airline ticket. Try to book a flight which lands directly in to Canada as these days with Air Bubble Agreements there are many restrictions. For more details may read this link;_

Thank you. But are air bubbles all about to/from India? That's what's in the link.

This copy from web;-
To simplify, the air bubble is a temporary agreement between two countries that allows their national airlines to carry passengers without restrictions. This will help passengers avoid the quarantine and corona virus testing rules on arrival.
This agreement may have caused serious losses to few Airlines but if it is for safety then it's OK.
We from Canada cannot STOP OVER in the way and continue to India :( I cancelled B.Airways ticket as I was NOT allowed to board from London. Many Canadian Citizens were returned back from London. Not clear how it was convenient. We Canadians are only allowed a direct flight to India this gives more business to 2 Airlines A.India + Air Canada. Big loss to rest of all airlines these days.

So when visa/copr is issued, there should be something different to show on GCkey?
Yes. Basically when they print the copr/visa, although depending on when they update etc, you may already have the passport back.

At any rate, no need to worry. For whatever reason gckey does not show the info you[re expecting, but the background check etc is done if you have received the PPR.
