I received my "passport letter" on June 10 (Thursday) and was scratching my head at probably the exact same time that you (Mr. Goldfinger) were with the question of how to deal with the Visa Application Centre (a private company, contracted by IRCC to handle certain issues with the...

Leveraging off this older thread, I have received the same "passport letter", both by direct email and in my IRCC log-in account. My question is that the Appendix A table is not a form-fillable pdf, which is unlike all of the forms for the initial application. Is this a fault of my pc system? is...

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before; I did try searching. Does receiving the passport request letter, in which they state "You must complete the following steps within 30 days in order for our office to issue your Confirmation of Permanent Residence and, if applicable, your...

My marriage to Canadian citizen took place over 20 years ago. We did not include with my PR application any information about the wedding venue nor the bills; and certainly no mention of whether tax was included or not. I doubt that IRCC cares how much the wedding cost nor if bills include tax...

I did until recently. There was an alert on the general pages at IRCC (not logged in) that they were discontinuing the progress bar for now because it was not accurate and gave false impression of the time line.

For what it's worth, we are in the USA and my wife is my sponsor (with Canadian citizenship). Even long before my PR application we set up a large value Canadian bank account from within the US. It was quite a nuisance to set up the account as being non-residents; most banks would not deal with...

I find your reply to razor787 very interesting. I wonder if you could elaborate on the "high bar" for spousal (is this for Outland only? or Inland as well?) and your recommendation that razor get back to Canada "early" to establish current residence. Our own situation (my Canadian wife/sponsor...

A hypothetical question: say that the spousal sponsor (Canadian citizen) and spousal PR applicant are currently living in a country other than Canada (hence, an Outland application) and either (1) sponsor dies or (2) couple get divorced. What are the effects on the PR applicant? Let's say...

Question: In the Google Sheet affiliated to this forum there is the term "AOR" (well, term is used in the forum as well). What exactly is the "AOR"? Is this a letter or some specific form that acknowledges receipt of the application? My own application is proceeding apace and there is...

razor787: Have not received PR (yet). Going for medical exam tomorrow. We have little doubt that the eventual outcome will be positive. I'm sorry to hear that your mutual situation is such a hard spot... you must leave (Russia), she can't enter (Canada). Sucks big time. I keep reading at...

I am in a somewhat similar situation. I would dress up your discussion of your plan to exit Russia with or without your wife. The letter as-is seems not to address the case if your wife does not get PR by that time and then you end up leaving Russia. What will happen to your wife then? Are you...

To clarify the "interview" a bit further. The interview I describe above, this is not the same as the "landing interview", yes? The landing interview seems to be once you have been approved as a PR; but there seems to be an earlier interview as part of the process to be approved (or not) as a PR...

Question on "Interview" as part of the spousal PR application process. (Sorry for asking, I should really know this. But the application process has taken so long that I have "fallen asleep in class" and am a bit disoriented on this since I first applied.) Where are US residents (US citizen...

Thanks for the tips. Wife and I went through this 20 years ago when she came to the US from Canada. The INS was big on personal interviews with both of us (individually and together).

Ahoy, I finally was able to link my spousal application to my online account at IRCC and now see the status of my application. I am a bit confused by some things. (1) It says I do not need a medical exam. This doesn't sound usual to me. Is this unusual? Perhaps it's more normal as emigrating...

I'm happy to give you my comments on your question. Although I think it might have been better all-round to start a new thread for this (in the Spousal thread?) so that the thread subject matches this question...you might get more replies, plus it may help others with same question. My own...

I'm not Princess Buttercup but maybe I can answer your question. I initially posted this thread as I had the same concerns as you. My outland spousal application was received on Aug 31, 2020 and I have just now received the AOR1 and the letter for biometrics (prior to this, nothing). I have to...

Sponsor (spouse) just got the letter notifying she was approved as sponsor. I guess that is the AOR1 (?)

A new data point: My application was received (signed for) in Halifax on August 31, 2020. I have not yet received the AOR1. But I just received the letter (email) requesting biometrics. Maybe the AOR1 is coming. Or lost. So, anyone else waiting (and waiting) maybe surprised as well by an...

Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I/we double checked before sending off. Then triple checked. And even quadruple checked. And again. Before sending off. Because it doesn't do any good to realize it after the package is sent. I had read of people getting their application returned after some...
