April 2021 Inland Spousal Sponsorship

[MRQ]

...just talked to IRCC. They can't provide any information. They don't give a fuck.
Checked web page...they are currently finalizing applications received May 3-9.

Does anybody here has suggestion/idea what to do next???

Y can always request GCMS notes but pls consult with some migration layers. In GCSM notes you may find a reason why your app is stuck. It takes cca 30 days to get them.

Is it normal to not see update since Oct 26 medical was passed? It is almost a month and no other info on GCkey. Ecas says in process. I've seen other folks timeline of 2 days to 2 weeks between Medical passed and AIP.

I am in the same boat. My medical has shown "October 26, 2021: You passed the medical exam" on GCKey and to date, there have been no further updates. On ECAS it still says " In Process". I called IRCC and the agent said she doesn't have access to my file and whatnot and they are only authorized to give "Priority" updates.

Wow! What else can we do?

Well as IRCC have always said “wait patiently”. That’s all we can do because in reality, we are still within “normal” processing times. It’s very frustrating not getting updates but we have to trust the process even when it drives us crazy.

Hi Guys,

Finally, I received my PR card today after almost 2 weeks of receiving eCOPR and even though the Portal says address and photo are still under review.

Good luck to everyone…

I’m sorry you’re in the same situation as us. It’s really disheartening and feels like we’ve been put in the “we’ll get to them later pile”. Immigration claims it’s “First come, first serve” but it is truly not that way whatsoever.

This whole situation of waiting 7 months and having NO IDEA if this time is all wasted because they could just send it back due to missing information is BEYOND unfair! My anxiety and stress can only handle so much of this “keep being patient” shit..

Nobody (including Immigration) really knows how to help or what we should do so it really sucks.

How do we do that when we have no progress on our application?

Wouldn’t that be pointless since if we call they have no information or notes to give. If we do not have AOR they essentially give us a “????” generic response.
