Adding spouse after AOR
- Thread starter Samurai89
- Start date
Giving you guys a follow up.
I received a message in my portal saying:
"Final Decision: July 6...Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made."
It looks like they are processing it faster.
It also might be because My AOR is March 2022 and they approved my application on March 7th 2023.
But then I got married and sent them the documents on March 31st 2023.
I also called them to confirm if they had received my documents after 5 days.
After 3 months, in June they asked for husband's biometrics, POF and Relationship Questionnaire.
I sent them and after +-10 days I received this Final Decision message in the portal.
I think I'll be receiving the PPR at the end of July or August.
Best luck to everyone!
Same case. Uploaded my documents in March. Now will be uploading my spouse documents i.e. medical, biometrics and POF. I will uploading these soon. I don’t know what happens next and how much time it will take
In terms of next steps and how long it takes, have you considered checking in a tracker? I’ve used this one for my case last year and found it to be pretty solid: https://myimmitracker.com/en/ca/trackers/consolidated-spousal-sponsorship-tracker. Plus you can ask other members who applied at the same time as you if they’re experiencing a similar process. Best of luck, hope you get it soon!
I have seen most people just ask questions but never reply once they are done with their PR. So, I wanted to provide complete timeline to all the forums that were helpful in my journey. Hope the below timeline helps. You can shoot me with any questions that you have.

Thank you for such a detailed response. It extremely helpful and very few people reply after they receive their PPR.
Hi all. My PR is in process now(FSW O). I’m in a plan to land as PR in Canada & come back to my native after obtaining PR card inorder get married & sponsor my spouse thereafter. Is that a good option or if I get married during the process & add a dependant, will it delay my PR process. Which would be the better decision?
Hello, just to give everyone hope, I was one of the people posting here a lot and worrying about my case too much... I applied in July 2020, COVID hit us and so got approved in Jan 2023, and landed just a few days ago. Best of luck to everyone and don't worry much, it will come around sooner than you think.
We landed but we're returning to our country after receiving our cards. The airport experience was very smooth and all the officers were very respectful and helpful. We didn't declare any goods to follow but there was the option.
Hello, was your application inland or Outland? Also, can you guide on how to send passport to Ottawa
@Teeolo It was outland. See the link below that shows where and how to send the passport to Ottawa.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account/where-submit-passport/cross-border-shipment-instructions.html
These are the options that i chose on fedex website. Please create a profile , without that you wont be able to create a return label with sender information as CIC.
1. Documents
2. Personal Document
3. I want fedex to help me create a commercial invoice
4. Customs value 1
5. Send trade documents to customes electronically ( recommended)
6. Declaration will be printed and attached
Let me know if you have any questions.
Make sure you send commercial invoice and the sender information in the return label should be CIC per the link above.
Thank you very much! Please did you send your passport from outside Canada to Ottawa? I’m currently visiting in Canada and want to know if I can submit my passport to Ottawa for copr or I’ve to go back to my country of residence.

Yeah well, the only realistic answer you can get is that it takes however long it takes.
There are no set timelines, hence, it can and will vary widely depending on many factors that probably no one knows what they are.
Just be patient and wait, that's all you can do.
You seem to be in the final stages.
