    September 2022 Spousal Sponsorship OUTLAND (Paper/Online)

    Ghost updates like crazy recently. Nothing ever changes for our app though. I'm guessing they are just system updates.... :confused:

    September 2022 Spousal Sponsorship OUTLAND (Paper/Online)

    If your application was submitted online ECAS is useless to you as it is only for paper applications.

    Ghost updates new Tracker

    Gotcha. Ok. It still just shows as "Submitted" nothing new. Although the tracker finally updated today so that is good. Thank you!

    Ghost updates new Tracker

    How do you know if there has been a ghost update on GCKey? Nothing has changed on mine in about a month. What would I see if there was a ghost update? Thanks!

    It was supposed to say the VO on my letter for sponsorship approval but it didn't. I will likely have to call.

    September 2022 Spousal Sponsorship OUTLAND (Paper/Online)

    Sydney is the receiving office where they decide on sponsor approval and where they direct applicants to complete biometrics and medicals. Once those are complete, they will transfer your file usually to the closest VO to where your applicant lives. Thought this may not be the case as some...

    We are still waiting to learn which VO is processing our application. Should be New York or LA but recently US apps have been going through Ottawa. Not sure why as they recently re-opened LA after Covid.

    Mine too. The Tracker hasn't been updated since December 12, 2022. After that my husband received and completed the medical and biometrics requests, both of which state he passed on GCKey. Unless you applied on paper, ECAS is useless but regardless, why are there so many trackers? And once we...

    GCKey - Now what?

    I was using a desktop and Chrome. It seems to be working now. I'm not sure what the issue was but it has settled and isn't revoking my credentials anymore. :rolleyes:

    September 2022 Spousal Sponsorship OUTLAND (Paper/Online)

    I hear you. Have you tried reaching out to your MP? If you or your sponsor is in Canada you can contact your local MP and have them look into it for you. It may take a couple of weeks but generally they will at least inquire on your behalf. That is the only way we found out IRCC even had our...

    September 2022 Spousal Sponsorship OUTLAND (Paper/Online)

    I feel your frustration. When we applied the first time (Dec. 2021), most of the paper apps were getting AORs in <80 days and the online apps were being ignored. Online applicants who actually got an AOR often waited so much longer. They also ended up losing a bunch of Dec. online apps and...

    GCKey - Now what?

    I did manage to finally get my application linked to my GCKey (the 5th account worked), but now every time I go back in I have to relink it. Then I get 2 emails: 1 telling me I've successfully linked the application followed by another stating that my application has been unlinked from my...

    I will try that. Thank you.

    GCKey - Now what?

    I've done that. It takes me to a public government website that I can use to get onto ECAS but we submitted an online application and therefore are unable to use ECAS. Whenever we fill in all the fields it tells us our application cannot be found regardless of the combination of ID's, sponsor vs...

    GCKey - Now what?

    Hi all, I managed to open a GCKey account and this is what I see: You last signed in with your GCKey on Wednesday, January 04, 2023 at 12:01:09 ET. From this page you can Change Your Password, Change Your Recovery Questions, Manage Your Email Address or Revoke Your GCKey. To help protect your...

    Our first app was returned 10 months after our online submission with no AOR and it was their screw up because they routed our outland app to their inland office.

    September 2022 Spousal Sponsorship OUTLAND (Paper/Online)

    On the paper letter form IRCC it says the app will be "forwarded to a visa office". Then it says should I need to make enquiries I "must email the visa office listed above". They didn't indicate which visa office the app was transferred to. Anyone know how to get this info? The tracker only...
