April 2021 OUtLand Spouse Sponsorship

[Ndlo006]

My wife and I are currently in Malaysia, I am Canadian and she is Malaysian. And we have applied Outland. I’ve read in many sources that Outland applications have a very low % of approval. Is this correct?

currently we are at the stage where we have been requested to provide biometrics, medical and police reports. So we are still in the middle of the process.

I’ve also heard that many are being rejected bc the couple that do Outland are not showing enough evidence of the willingness to move right away to Canada. Some of the requirements are to show evidence of termination of employment, termination of rent or lease of current housing, closure of bank accounts, and others. I personally think this is extreme, what do they expect us to do? Live on the streets with bags of cash until we get approved?
Anyone in a similar situation?

App received - Apr 20
Aor1 - Jun 4
Ecas in process - Jun 10
Moved to Manila VO - Jun 10

We have not been able to link the application to the PA gckey. We are only relying on email and ecas.

Up to now, have not received medical request. PA already has Biometric from previous TRV application. Why is this medical request taking so long? Is this normal? I see in the tracker that medical request is given almost immediately after AOR1.

Please advise. Thank you.

I'm in the same boat. We have not been able to link the application. Also, have not received any medical/biometric request either.

We have been advised by our representative that for some it took up to 3 months to get AOR1 and there's no specific timeline during the pandemic crisis. Ecas shows in process. Details only shows file received. nothing after that.

Waiting patiently!!

There are many people who are/were in your situation, myself included. No it is not correct to say most outland apps are rejected. I think most are approved. They appear recently to be more strict where the sponsor is out of Canada. I don't recommend going to the extremes you mention but in the mean time it is good to have ties to Canada if you still do, having a solid plan for when you get here. Looking for employment, housing, letters of support. A CDN bank account, credit cards etc. What they want to see is that you plan to move to Cda very soon after getting the approval for PR.

Using the pre-arrival services is not mandatory. It is a free service provided by the gov't to acquaint Immigrants with various aspects of life in Canada and what to expect. If you've spent time in Canada then maybe it won't tell you anything new. If you haven't then it might be beneficial for you.

I read that it may take 3-5months to get DM after you passed the medical. I also saw some applications who get DM 1-2weeks after they passed the medical exam. So based on this, we can’t really predict how long. We can only hope that it’s soon!! Just try to schedule your medical exam asap. Goodluck!

Hi, yes my application was submitted on April 26. And we got our biometric request on June 8. Have scheduled biometric appointment for 19th July in Bengaluru. 3 weeks from now is the ideal wait time for a biometric appointment in any VFS.

At present, I personally know applicants from Jan 2020 and May 2020 who are still awaiting a decision on their application. So the process is quite a lot delayed.

I have been trying to link our application online. After multiple attempts, the system was able to locate the file but when I go a step further, the system prompts that my representative has access to my application and in order for me to link the file, I'll have to disassociate the representative. I do not want to disassociate my representative at this time.

@legalfalcon - is there a way to link the file online without removing the representative? Please advise. Thank you so much in advance.

No, only one person can be linked to the gckey application at any one time.

You cannot link your application is it is already linked in your reps profile. IRCC is coming up with a new status website where you will be able to see the progress while your rep can have access to the application. It will be available soon.
