Adding spouse after AOR

[Naynah]

Finally ghost update


My spouse has been added to my application so waiting for BIL letter @maghool71 @legalfalcon and @everyone here who has been supportive during our trying times.... The wait is endless....

Not ghost update.... Saw my email after checking my page.... Guess my routine check was faster than me looking at my email. I actually Lso applied for GCMS Notes (including cbsa reports) through caipsgcms; I do not know if it was the trigger for this response after a protracted silence.


I hear that timelines are no 20-24months for FSW-O applications...May makes it 26 months since I submitted my application.... Thus is too sad... Someone said additional spousal applications is another 6months (I want to believe when I submitted my husbandvs application in June last year, I have well covered the issue of 6monfgs as well.....

Urgggggghhhhh! The wait is killing me as we have put a lot on hold not wanting to make grounding or oermadecisions

when did you add your spouse? Is your spouse appearing on your profile yet?

In April 2021, I informed IRCC about my registry(civil) marriage, they sent me the kit. Then late May, 2021 I got married in church so in June, 2021 I submitted the kit.

There was no response from IRCC until Nov. 23rd 2021 (my birthday) where I was requested to do remedicals. Couldn't do it until Dec. 20, 2021. Then two days later (Dec. 22, 2021), IRCC sent Request letter containing almost all the forms from the previous kit along with Questionnaires and more specific pictures, etc. Tried to submit in my portal but there was no available place to submit and I had 30 days from the date to submit the requested documents.

Jan. 1st, 2022 received another gifted response from IRCC that I passed my Medicals. During this period I was sending technical issue-enquiries and web forms about the issue of not being able to submit the requested documents. Then @maghool71 encouraged me to send them by Web forms as some ppl faced this problem.

16th January, 2022, submitted my Web forms vide cpc-Ottawa and Canada processing Centre but still IRCC claimed they hadn't gotten my documents.

Feb11, 2022 IRCC sends me and RFV email. Then I had to contact them about my spouse's documents... Then I saw an earlier email I missed where they say send documents vide Web form to responsible office (Accra) or by mail to accra canda visa office so I did both and they confirmed them all in early March has having been received.


IRCC continued with the long silence until 13th May, 2022 where they included my spouse finally in my application. By the way, on 28th February (as per the RFV email), I submitted my passport and that of my spouse to IRCC office in accra through vfs global Nigeria because the email included and all dependents intending to accompany you to Canada. Still waiting for our passports.


At the stage of waiting for BIL letter for my husband.

Hi Naynah, thanks for the explanation. I wish you didn't miss that email from IRCC. But still, it's evident for me that you're going to receive your PR within the next few months.
I have a question about your notes, did you order them from here? https://www.caipsgcms.com/order
Thanks!

Write an email to the VO and send a message explaining your situation via web form. Include IRCC's emails that you received whenever you contacted them. Put everything in one document (Letter of Explanation, IRCC emails). Whatever you said above should be detailed in the letter. Make sure you mention the dates correctly especially the time you reached out to IRCC to add your spouse and when IRCC sent you response.

Make a chronology like below along with explanation of your situation in the first paragraph.

X date: Added Spouse
Y date: Received IRCC letter
Z date: Received COPR.

I hope IRCC will reach out to you, cancel your COPR and then start processing your Spouse's file. You will receive your COPR later.

Only tip is keep your letter/message precise, clear and straight to the point. All the best.

Already informed Delhi visa office and Ottawa vo too before submission of my passport for visa stamping.
Only Delhi Vo responded that they will revert back only if they need additional information from us

I have however just sent a message to technical support to see the outcome of this problem but if there's another way help me guys

Hi @Naynah were you able to resolve this? I am in similar situation where there is not upload option in the portal. How did you send the documents?

I hope this works for @User_123. But if the application has already been closed, I think they must land in Canada and start a sponsorship application for their spouse at that point.

 

[sanketshahane]

Send via Webform.

Ok thanks @RSub . Since the limit is of 3.5 MB, I assume we need to just send multiple web form requests. BTW do they acknowledge that they have received documents through the webform?

They cannot land coz they are technically married and they already reported about it. So it may be misinterpretation and they may be banned from entering Canada again. Please cross check what I said. I may be wrong, but what if I am right.?

I did receive acknowledgement for 3 docs.

Tried to submit in my portal but there was no available place to submit and I had 30 days from the date to submit the requested documents.

Hi you say you tried to submit the documents. Did you actually submit the documents or you did not submit documents because you did not have space to upload?

 

[EstherNnnanna]

Hi all,

after submitting spouse documents to IRCC do we need to do anything further? My application is over 26 months old now and I still haven’t heard back from IRCC. My spouse was only added to my file as a dependent a few months ago even though I had informed IRCC about my marriage since.
The wait and the dead silence from IRCC is mentally exhausting and unfair. It just feels like the end is not near.

I think you might absolutely be right! I did not think about that aspect.
