Unfortunately, I can no longer communicate properly with my immigration counsellor. When I asked what the Ottawa IR was, he said it takes days to process your eligibility. I wanted to apply for TRV for months, at first he said to get the file number, I said okay, I waited. The file number came, this time he said that one of you should pass the eligibility and fulfil the medical instructions. I did all that. I think he said to wait. Finally, I insisted and he said okay. I asked him which documents were required, and he didn't even answer for 10 days. I received the sponsorship approval 11 months after the application date. Now my file has not been transferred to my visa office. I think it is waiting in the queue to be transferred to the visa office. It looks like it will take more than 12 months. But the background, will Canada process the security check or my visa office. I don't even know where I am in this long journey. Yes, after a long silence, the files can be concluded quickly. But this process is disappointing for me. 11 months later, if sponsorship eligibility has passed, how long will I wait. A black hole.

Canada normally do background check.. it’s like 3 stages so it takes the longest.. like about 3 months. I know it’s long and drawn out .. but keep your head up, you will get through . You’re almost there!
No nothing yet. I still have the MP that helped with my OWP contact details so may ask for some assistance.
Assuming nothing for you yet either?
30 days today since eCOPR
Full timeline in signature.
I had 2 countries for BGC - UK and the USA. I had to guess my first entry into Canada for both my OWP and Portal declaration. I was a driver for Greyhound between NH/VT and QC for 3 years and must have entered Canada about 150 times, many times with no document checks as I got to know the guards at Sherbrooke very well. I do seem to remember doing some enhanced clearances when I started driving with them - so it may be that was flagged in my passport that I already had previous clearance, but who knows.
no ADR, just a very slow application. I got MP involved with OWP - that helped that along I suspect.
But all in all, we planned for a year long process, and thats what we got. So for all else here still - be patient.
PR Card now in the hands of Canada Post.
Thanks to everyone in the beginning who gave solid advice and guidance.

On January 29 Background verification status has been updated to In progress for my spouse.
But it was in progress since last year,I am very confused. My 2 dependants still on eligibility not completed but background still in progress. I am very worried coz one of my dependent's medical exam will expire next month ( is ME good for 1 year though?)
We applied Dec 2023.
