Why don't you try calling them? I managed to get through on Monday, you just have to click through the options to speak to someone and they also do callbacks if you don't want to wait. I managed to get some information regarding my case but that was mostly reassurance that everything was ok and...

No progress on mine since I received the CSQ last August. I have a work permit for 2 years too and still stuck in background check since I originally submitted my application a year ago (28 Feb). Everything else is completed so not sure why the excessive delay. My case wasn't complicated. Does...

Why the heck are they sending cases from London to Abu Dhabi???!

I think people who are subscribed to this thread will post updates when they have any news.

From what I've read in the past on this forum, that's happened for other people too. The tracker seems to be slow at updating sometimes. Interesting that you got the PR without any notification though. I guess one has to keep checking the post. We use a mailbox and only check it once a week or...

Sorry for delayed reply. To answer your question, my sponsor's eligibility is complete (has been since last April). All I see on my online tracker is my eligibility hasn't started and my background check in progress. My medical/biometrics was done last May, I have the Certificat du Quebec since...

Nothing from me (everything completed apart from background check). Utterly ridiculous it takes this long. I tried to call IRCC a few weeks ago to check the status of my application but it just confirmed (by automated message) what I can see already see on my file. I'm not even sure it's worth...

May I ask, how soon after you received the CSQ did you receive final approval of the application? I'm in the same position, I have a CSQ since August 2024 but now my application is stuck in background check (for me, I'm the applicant)

You are in Austria right? I would seek first and foremost local help regarding the abusive situation you have at home. "Escaping" the country to be with someone you haven't even met in real life is risky not to mention opening a whole new set of issues down the line if the relationship doesn't...

They will email your wife a letter requesting a medical to be done. If she hasn't received that (check spam folder just in case) then just wait to be asked.

I'm pretty sure you can travel between US and Canada while waiting for the spousal application to be processed (after you get the OWP approved). Just so long as you're not outside of Canada for TOO long a period. I'm in the same position, I have an ETA, my spousal application is quite far down...

Well I applied originally (with IRCC) end of February 2024. Applied for the Quebec side of things end of May 2024. Received CSQ in August 2024. Since then my application has been stuck in Background check, although I do now have a 2 year spousal work permit based on the success of my original...

If it's any consolation, I am in the same boat. (my application was sent 28 February). Everything complete except background verification. I think it's ridiculous that a background check should take SOO long, especially when you have to submit police clearance certificates up front anyway...

Just to update my thread, border control let me in without any issues. Just merely asked "what is the purpose of your visit" to which I replied: "my husband is Canadian and I'm in the middle of a spouse visa application". He just smiled and waved me through. So the work permit is still valid and...

To anyone above who is waiting to hear back re their CSQ, their general guideline is minimum 3 months to hear from them. This is what I was told on the phone after I submitted my application end of May 2024 when I enquired roughly how long it would take (I received the CSQ end of August, so it...

Principal applicant is the applicant, not the sponsor. Doesn't really matter which party is making the payment though (where it says "Authorization").

The sponsor should have their own tracker account and the Applicant their own. If it's showing completed on the applicant's tracker then obviously it's completed for the applicant. Sponsorship approval status would show on the sponsor's account only, not the Applicant's. Do you have separate UCI...

When you say Eligibility status are you referring to the sponsor's eligiblity or applicant's?

I think GCMS notes can take up to 30 days to come through.

Good point, thanks. I did ask him to send me a scan of it when it arrives but I'll get him to courier the hard copy to me in UK too.
