    September 2022 Spousal Sponsorship OUTLAND (Paper/Online)

    I got my SA in the mail yesterday and was able to get onto the tracker late last night. The date of the letter was December 19 so I've been approved as a sponsor in their system for several days and was unable to create an account for days so that's bull. LOL

    September 2022 Spousal Sponsorship OUTLAND (Paper/Online)

    Anyone else unable to set up the status tracker account? I get as far as sending the confirmation code to complete account activation and constantly get this: Unexpected problem, please try again later I've tried on several devices and get the same result. I'm so sick of the pervasive...

    September 2022 Spousal Sponsorship OUTLAND (Paper/Online)

    I submitted online and strangely got a paper AOR in the mail. Very odd. All other correspondence has been via email.

    September 2022 Spousal Sponsorship OUTLAND (Paper/Online)

    As of September 22, 2022, they were no longer accepting paper applications and all apps were required to be submitted through the online portal. I hope yours made the cut but October 3rd might be a little late for paper.

    Makes sense, thank you. I think we did fill out the rep form this time to make it easier in we got screwed around again. Thanks!

    September 2022 Spousal Sponsorship OUTLAND (Paper/Online)

    Anyone know why it might be the sponsor receiving the emails for medical and biometrics requests addressed to the applicant and not the applicant himself? All of our paper work was filled out correctly. This is our second kick at the can and the applicant was receiving emails for our previous...

    Paper AORs are always faster. Look back at June 2022 - their online apps are only just now receiving AORs.

    September 2022 Spousal Sponsorship OUTLAND (Paper/Online)

    September 30 applicants here. Online. Again. Got screwed over the first time by IRCC so we hope the second attempt goes better but I have little faith. IRCC returned our application after 10 months due to an internal error in their online platform. Never even got AOR. Fingers-crossed they've...

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    I wish I could say I was surprised. They won't admit the error though. Even my MP told me today that it must have been our error, that we must have mailed it to the wrong address. Apparently they never read any of the 15+ emails we've exchanged over the last 7 months properly where numerous...

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    Already done. I doubt anything will come of it though. I mean it isn't like they can fast track our new app because IRCC will never admit to making a mistake. Sad part is we're not the only ones who this has happened to. Another person I met online waited 7 months for their app to be returned...

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    The letter came via email. As I understand it from the people who answer the 1-888 #, online portal apps get downloaded onto a centralized server, and when an officer deigns to look at them, they forward it and the files to the Inland or Outland receiving office based on the answer to the first...

    We applied online so the error made was internal.

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    Yes, we got our letter today stating the app had been returned. Curious how that came within 1 business day of me phoning. The reason they gave was because they said we submitted it to the wrong office as Mississauga handles Inland and we clearly applied Outland based on the files we submitted...

    Total nightmare. We appreciate the thoughts though and will apply again. Just hope our app ends up in the lucky pool this time.

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    Thank you, I hope so too! You're right, there is no accountability within the department at all and those of us who need to navigate it are left with no recourse. So frustrating.

    We are so angry, i can't even begin to tell you but we will make it through. Appreciate your words. Thank you.

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    Called IRCC again because the response to my ATIP request (finally) requested further information, the likes of which they already had (file #, DOB, etc). IRCC said that our temp file # is not actually attached to a file anymore, with no explanation as to why. Guy had to use a backdoor to even...

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    Our application is still in process according to IRCC. I've called numerous times, have submitted countless Webforms, have contacted my MP, and applied for ATIP. I received a letter in May providing me with a temp file # and thanking us for our Inland app when we had applied Outland online. I...
