    August 2021 Outland spousal Sponsorship.

    Alright, the wife got the passports back with the stamp, some sort of pre-arrival letter and the COPR, so I guess that's it then. :D

    It is, if you meet the criteria :)

    November 2020 - Citizenship Application

    Nothing so far! If I haven't heard anything by March, I'm probably going to explore the urgent processing route.

    Doubtful unless your financials show significant amounts of debt that would suggest you fall below the LICO.

    November 2020 - Citizenship Application

    Not necessarily but it's around that timeline - for example, I had mine asked around the exact same time as I received my first test invite (possibly even a week or so before, need to check my mail).

    November 2020 - Citizenship Application

    Welcome to the Decision Made Club, enjoy your stay because it could be a while! :cool: I've had my application be 'Decision Made' since October 22 and nothing since then. Not in any particular rush, but my PR Card expires on November 2 this year (with the 6 month window being June 2). Just...

    August 2021 Outland spousal Sponsorship.

    Hah, samesies - I still have no idea which office it went to, tbh so I'm still kind of curious. In any case, we're close to the finish line and I need to look for a new place (currently live in a shared apartment, etc) waaaaay ahead of scheduled. Exciting times! :D

    Good news everyone! My rep just contacted me to also let me know that my wife has also received her PPR! :D

    Happy New Year, everyone! Here's to hoping that by this time next year, you'll be with your loved ones :)

    It seems to work differently case to case - there's a post that outlines what the process typically looks like.

    August 2021 Outland spousal Sponsorship.

    Update: It was, in fact, the Pre-Arrival Services letter! The rep just forwarded it to me a few minutes ago. :) Looks like good progress (and news) after all! :D

    August 2021 Outland spousal Sponsorship.

    That's awesome to hear! Congrats! :D I've messaged my rep to share a copy of whatever they have gotten from GCKey on their side with me so I could take a look too. I'll post an update when I've heard back from them.

    Nope, from Canada. PA is Indian, but lives in the UAE.

    August 2021 Outland spousal Sponsorship.

    Isn't it rather.....too quick, all things considered? I'm cautiously optimistic but it would seem, then, that my sponsorship application (which was returned once back in March before being resubmitted in August) got processed, within less than 122 ish days, which is suspiciously quick. Perhaps...

    August 2021 Outland spousal Sponsorship.

    Can't speak for @twinmama15 , but not true in my case because I've already received the SA letter a week and a bit ago and the Sponsor's status (in this case, myself) has been 'Decision Made' for quite a while now. The thing that's puzzling for me is that the PA's status also changed this...

    August 2021 Outland spousal Sponsorship.

    That's what I'm wondering about too! Maybe it's a glitch or maybe it'll switch back to in progress or something when they've transferred it to the local visa office (i.e. that this 'Decision Made' is basically the Canadian CPC Officer going 'Yep, this looks good enough to move to local VO for...

    August 2021 Outland spousal Sponsorship.

    So I logged in to my eCAS this morning and it says under my wife's column 'Decision Made'. Considering her medicals and Biometrics juuuuust happened, is this a good thing or.... a bad thing? To note, I don't have access to GCKey (used a rep) so I'm waiting on them to confirm, but...

    August 2021 Outland spousal Sponsorship.

    First time I submitted was back in March 2021. Returned in June and resubmitted around end August 2021. Got my AOR around end-October. Got the Sponsor Approval in early December. My wife got her Biometrics and Medical Request in early December, too.

    That's awesome news, congratulations! What's your timeline, which VO did it go to and was it an online or paper application?
