Although official news had always stated that PR applications are still being processed, majority of us here didn’t see any update from Sydney. So we can only assume that they will start working from June.So, it means CPC Sydney will start working in June or already started working?
February 2020 Spousal sponsorship Outland
- Thread starter asv_21084
- Start date
My Biometrics/Medicals were cancelled due to the pandemic and all US/Canada biometric collection places still seem to be closed. Most Medical places seem to be closed as well with some tentatively saying maybe mid-June. I'm about 2 days away from being over the automatic 90 day grace-period, sent in a webform and no word yet. Just feeling a bit stressed. ^^;
Just got off the phone with IRCC, standard reply again “theyre processing applications with critical staff so it will be very slow. No timeline can be given when the office will work to full capacity again”. It’s a waiting game till end of June I would say..
That's insane and unfair.
They take too long ti process spousal sponsorship applications and now they are making it more longer and stressful to us all.
It's been more than 100 days but no AOR. I dont know what will happen next how and when
As an ''inland person'', I'd love to know your source, because the only people I've seen getting updates/COPR were those that were already scheduled for landing before this clusterf*ck of a pandemic.
Public sectors federal employees are so well protected by the PSAC (Public Service Alliance of Canada). It’s impossible to get them to do anything they don’t want to. I’m not saying all, but I guarantee there are a lot of Sydney employees throwing the PSAC at the government/management and staying home and collecting a pay cheque. I have first hand experience managing civilian federal employees...Not fun.

I did congratulate that person, because they got an official SA. I'm happy for them. But their post about IRCC starting the 'huge processes' (below) gives zero verified information from a reliable source, it's just an assumption. No need to get all pissed off. Everyone is waiting, has no idea what's going on, and wants to be done with this process.
Let's support each other instead of spitting at other sponsorship categories.
It is a good sign, yes. But I wouldn't interpret it as the fact that Inland will get processed before you guys. They're so disorganized, it's almost like they just pick at random in every category once in a while. Let's just hope we get put the pandemic delays behind us soon, and all get those PR cards so we can stop living on hold.
Well they are past the 12 months processing time. I see outland Nov 2019 applicants (I think 2) with the decision made in May 2020, and outland December 2019 applicants with the decision made in April and May 2020. It is frustrating that our files are not moving but complaining over others 'luck' does not help anyone. We are all waiting, hoping for the best.
A march outland applicant called cic, and they gave her a temp file number for her application. If they had not even opened these applications, they would not have a temporary file number for her. it is my hope that while Sydney has been silent, they are still working, and they will one day surprise us with AORs, medicals and bio requests (fingers crossed).
We have AOR since March 5th, nothing after that so far.A march outland applicant called cic, and they gave her a temp file number for her application.
