DECEMBER 2020 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP
- Thread starter jaxdacool1
- Start date
Not now; but It will be next year. I think that you are already looking at posts which were posted years before, imagine if there is no year, those would be confusing...right.
Hi Arsh,
Can you please confirm if your application type was family sponsorship for spouse and if the sponsor is a citizen or PR?
Also please confirm if you took help from any immigration office or did the process on your own?
Thanks
Hello Diksha,
Application was a family sponsorship for spouse and sponsor is Citizen.
I did all the process by myself no help taken from any agent.
Would you be able to provide some insight? We applied in dec 2020 for my pr application where my husband is a canadian citizen and we have not heard back at all other than a temporary application number for which we emailed 3 times (not even a AOR1). Did you have a special case in any way? Were you able to contact someone at the immigration office to get your process started so fast? It says they are processing applications from dec 2019 currently for spousal sponsorship, do you know how they did yours so fast?
Sorry for extra questions but we are so frustrated and lost since they have not replied as to when they will start our application.
Thanks again,
Diksha
Hi All,
My application from India (outland family sponsorship-spouse, my husband is a citizenl) was submitted in December 2020 via mail and they received it on 10th dec (according to signature taken by mail company) but since then we didn't hear back at all from the immigration. After sending a few mails they confirmed in April that they received my application and gave us a temporary application number and confirmed they haven't started working on it yet and will email once they start working on it. We still are waiting for our AOR1.
Is there anyone else who is in the same boat as me?
We tried asking them about updates via webform but there is no response yet just the generic we will update once we start working on your application.
Nowadays we are just getting reply saying their focus is Afghanistan.
It would be great if someone can guide me in what to do next?
It's really frustrating and depressing to see that there is still no update at all even after almost 10 months of sending application.
I read some people here from India had their application process started within 3 months of submission, even people who applied after us, and they already gave their medical. How is that possible? On the immigration website it says they are processing applications from dec 2019, so how did outland people who applied in dec 2020 for example already had their applications processed?
We sent our application to Sydney, Nova Scotia cpc office, is Mississauga Ontario office maybe faster? Because it said to send outland applications to the Sydney office.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Diksha
Very to sorry hear and i can feel you as I was in the same boat last year, so, i have reached to local MP office, later which a follow up of 4 months happened and then our application was returned due to a missing signature. Our time of 8 months wasted and then i had to reapply again. I suggest you reach out to your local MP office so that they can expedite your application asking IRCC.
Your local MP office/contact can be found on google. You need to write an email to the MP office, they will call you the next day on your canadian number to discuss. This will help your application to move faster. Also you can book an appointment to talk to MP in person. Email will help you and should make things faster.
To anyone wondering how long it takes to get passport back after PPR submission mine took 12 days to come back from the Bogota office. It's a fast turnaround with them. I asked before submission and they said 2 weeks maximum and they received my passports on 10 Sep 21, and stamped it 14 Sep 21 and today I got them back through the mail.
Seems like that is normal turnaround time, not sure how other visa offices do it but I wanted to give a rough timeline to others in the same spot.

Hi, good to see that a lot of people who submitted their application in Dec 2020 have already received PPR. Any idea how many from the London visa office have received theirs? They seem to be slower than other VO's.
My spouse/PA is from Pakistan, biometric done, medical passed in June 2021, received pre-arrival services letter in July 2021 but heard nothing since then. The IRCC portal shows that background check is in process and eligibility is being reviewed - I thought receiving pre-arrival means that eligibility is approved? Anyone else in the same boat? Did anyone receive a separate email or letter confirming their eligibility (for PA)?
Are most people still getting their PPR's within the 12-month timeline? Because IRCC went on a hiring spree last year so hopefully they're clearing up the backlog.
