Hi, Sorry you are in a difficult situation. Is this family sponsorship?Take a look at your file. You are in a better position to find something suspect (with employment, education history, etc). It is advisable to retain the services of a lawyer ASAP.

Follow the instructions in the letter you received. Everything you need to do should be there.

My brother-in-law's wife applied for TRV when her PR application was processing. She got the TRV done first (those are processed in Nairobi).

I think the pressure campaign is what moves things. I know another person who did the same thing. Have a file from Aug 2023, returned then resubmitted in October, returned again, then resubmitted in November. Have done biometrics and have sponsor approval. Applied for TRV for my boy. Maybe I...

Sometimes the person reading the application is confused. It has happened to me, where I am asked to fill a form, only for an application to be returned short while after with new contradictory instructions. Check out videos on YouTube. There will be someone who has experienced a similar issue...

You typically have to wait a few weeks (at least) after AOR to attempt to link application to GC Key account.

I have not received medical request. Possibly because we did medical 2 years ago.

The reason some people are not able to find the message after the prompt ("We sent you a message") is because they have not linked application in the portal. I saw this happen to my brother-in-law. It took us 4 months to find the message asking his wife to get medical done. As you soon as we...

Likely. Read the message to see what's there.

A visa refusal is not a problem. The problem would be if he was deported or overstayed beyond visa period.

The file will be turned over to an office in Ontario (Etobicoke, I believe) which will complete the process.

I have had an application returned for the same reason. I have no button to "add family member" and the form is remaining incomplete and I cannot submit. Something is wrong with the system!!

You should let IRCC know the applicant is not in Canada. You don't want them to learn any other way, because sometimes they will and it may not work out well. Once they know your spouse returns soon, the process will only be paused until your spouse returns. This happened to a relative of mine...

You may have someone respond if you write your post in clear language. What does 'dependent spouse' mean? What type of application was denied?

Every application is different. Depending on case circumstances, where you live and who has your file, one may get AOR in a week or 5 months later.
