Can you share what they mentioned about their plans for ppr or next steps if it's ok? And can you share details of the day, time and number you called using textnow? I will call them in the coming week.
I called them last Thursday at around 10:30am Ottawa time. The number is 1-888-242-2100. They just updated on the current status of the application.

From what I know, after you get married and submit your spousal PR application and somehow land in Canada on a visitor visa or some other visa, you can apply for an open work permit which you can keep extending until you get your PR. Spousal PR application can be applied from within Canada only and your spouse cannot leave Canada until the application is finalized.

If you are already in Canada or have some other visa to enter Canada, then get married, apply for spousal sponsorship and apply for OWP after that. If you are not in Canada, then your spouse needs to be physically present in Canada, apply for spouse PR and stay in Canada till the application is finalized, you will not get any work permit if you are outside of Canada and getting a visitor visa after getting married is pretty much impossible which is the worst part about sponsoring an outland spouse.

Not sure how your own express entry application will factor into all this.
This is very helpful. My partner is in Canada and a Canadian citizen. I have a visitor visa valid till the end of this year. According to what you have suggested, I can go to Canada using my visitor visa and then get married, apply for OWP, start working and wait for a decision on my application. Simultaneously my spouse can file a spousal sponsorship application. Hope my understanding is correct?

Good day everyone.

Please, my AOR is April 2021 (PNP - O)

When I received my GCMS notes in October 2021, the visa offices were CIO and Ottawa.

I just got the response to a webform I raised in December 2021 and the visa office is now Accra, Ghana.

(i.) Is it possible that the file has been approved and Accra is just to send the PPR mail?

(ii.) Or would Accra further-process the file?

@legalfalcon Please assist.

Thank you.

Files can be processed at any visa office across the IRCC network, which largely depends on the workload and the specialization required. See https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/service-delivery/file-transfer.html

See your GCMS notes for what stage the application is at.

This is my understanding from what I read online, I think you should consult with an expert to understand this process better. Also, I think you can apply for an OWP after applying for spousal PR sponsorship not before.

Hey gang, I got PPR but its a portal access. I am outland applicant.
I just checked my email and It says its a portal access. I guess I reply to my email and wait. It but I am almost done now. Happy in a confused way.
What. Man, that is strange. Hope @legalfalcon can guide you.

Send a web form and let IRCC know that you are not in Canada. IF you were in Canada previously, have you changed your address?

Also, reply to the email and inform that you are not in Canada.

Hello everyone! I lost the track of the thread a while ago. I met with an accident, and it took me 3-4 months just to get back on my feet. It'd be really great if anyone could tell me the current status on the FSW draws or any updates on the same. Thank you!
