December 2024 Outland Spousal Sponsorship Timeline

[Marile]

I have noticed a phenomenon getting quite common that everything gets completed on the tracker, and the same steps remain in processing on the GC Key account. After this, it appears to go into an indefinite delay at the IRCC end.

Does anyone else notice this as well?

Maybe the bg check is just formally not closed.
I would say that the application process does not end until you land in Canada and your PR status is confirmed by the border official's stamp.
But these are just assumptions. And to be honest, at the moment i'm holding my COPR document in my hands, I dont really care anymore. Away from that I agree with you. I've seen this before. The question is: Does it matter anyway?

True that. I agree that until you land and get through Immigration, it's a lot of ifs and buts.

Congrats
I am very happy for you and hope to reach the same stage soon.

I applied in December. So far I've only received the AOR and BIL (late December), its been more than three months since the last update. MIL and Eligibility are not started and background check in progress.

Abu Dhabi VO, they're extremely slow

Hi .. We applied in mid Oct and received the same by Dec. There is no updates since after completing the BIL in Dec (Background check in Progress). Have you received anything yet or got more insights?
