    Spousal sponsorship

    Absolutely ridiculous that the IRCC still has not provided a final decision on our file. How on earth does it take months to do a bloody security check or verify someone's eligibility; which apparently is all that is left before we are issued PR cards. They had the bulk of our info. Aug 2022...

    Spousal sponsorship

    No, I reside in BC. Absolutely no idea why this is taking so long, luck of the draw I suppose.

    Spousal sponsorship

    Well, I did end up ordering my GCMS notes and nothing appears to be amiss, other than the IRCC is taking a ridiculous amount of time to make a decision on our file. Original starting date online was Aug. 5th, 2022. Supposedly this is categorized as a non-routine file, whatever the hell...

    Spousal sponsorship

    This federal department truly boggles the mind. I doubt many would last very long in the private sector with tight deadlines and so on. Back in the fall of 2022 they send me an email that I needed to upload some additional info. on their website; of course there was no actual link there to...

    Spousal sponsorship

    My local MP has contacted the relevant IRCC office as well, several times. I should clarify that we also applied for a PR card at the same time which perhaps means a longer time period before a decision is made; supposedly on the security check now although I don't trust anything communicated...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Avg. processing time is 9 months for inland sponsorship? I've been waiting since Aug. 2022 for these incompetent clowns to make a decision on our file. I find that timeline you reference hard to believe.

    Taxes and inland

    Filled out form NR74 on Feb. 21st and still haven't heard from the CRA on the residency status of my spouse; although I assume she will be deemed a Can. resident for tax purposes. lol

    File tax with non-residence spouse

    And to no one's surprise still waiting to hear back from the CRA after submitting form NR74 online which means I am unable at the moment to proceed with filing my taxes. Hopefully their timelines in addressing issues don't mirror the IRCC.

    Stuck On Security Check

    I hear ya 'bro. It absolutely boggles my mind how long it takes to get these applications moving along. No excuse for this nonsense, especially the lack of communication throughout the process. .

    Stuck On Security Check

    Likewise, sent additional docs as per their request end of Nov. 2023, only thing that seems outstanding is the security check which presumably is the CBSA taking their sweet time on this. Original application was Aug. 2022. No idea why it would take so long on this issue considering the...

    File tax with non-residence spouse

    Fairly certain this is a bit of a "grey area". In the process of filling out form NR74 which I will send to the CRA for them to make a determination on my own spouse's residency status. In past years didn't worry about this since she had no income; but this year she secured a work permit and...
