JULY 2020 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship
- Thread starter ksin86

Hi. I would suggest that you inform IRCC straight away as to your change in circumstances. They clearly outline the changes that they need to be informed about. Address. Marital status birth of a child etc etc. You have been examined under common law and applied under common law but now you are actually married so it would be wise to inform them of your change in circumstances to avoid it being misconstrued as misrepresentation because until you have that COPR visa stamped in your passport you are not yet home and dry. I hope that you are aware that in order to complete your process you will have to leave the country and re enter in order to be considered a landed immigrant. That is the process for outland applicants and I believe that they have suspended flagpoling until further notice so you may well have to return to UK to complete your process unless IRCC is willing to give you a inland interview to complete your landing. Good luck. Hope everything goes smoothly for you .
Thank you for the information! I will update IRCC with my address in Canada. As for change in marital status I believe I would need to send them a marriage certificate which we haven't received yet - not sure about the rest of Canada but in Alberta this process takes a few weeks. I will call IRCC tomorrow to clarify what documents they would need.
I have seen outland applicants who are in Canada send their passport to Ottawa because the PPR letter does indicate that if you are currently in Canada you can send your passport there. Do you know if this is not applicable to all the applicants?
Hi. I'm not 100% sure if that is or is not applicable to all applicants. I think that your passport needs to be submitted to the visa office dealing with your application but again I am not 100% on that one. Covid has changed the way things are normally done so you could be lucky and have everything finalized while you are in Canada. Good luck.
Also I'm sure IRCC is aware of the normal timing of the issuance of marriage certificates in the various provinces. So if you let them know that you don't have the certificate they should be ok with that as long as you are able to give them a timeframe as to when you can expect to submit it if they do require it. Congratulations on your marriage by the way.
All applicants in Canada as far as I'm aware. They do not want you to travel to get the visa/copr.
It seems occasionally not all ppr letters contain the info, calling ircc works in such cases.
I got my GCMS notes and they mention these notes created and updated on 2021/01/21. I received AOR1 on 2021/01/08 and no communication since, my cease shows sponsor in progress as well as PA. I have not received SA / medical or biometric request yet. but from notes it is confusing. can anyone explain

Mine went back to in process after application received and I didn't get the line item 2 that they started processing. :/
There was an update on the IRCC website that they are going back to the standard 30 days unless under circumstances there is still a delay due to covid where the PA lives - but proof has to be provided and you need to ask for the extension.
Do you mean the sponsor side doesn't even have the "we started processing" line even though you have DM?
