Our application is being processed in Ottawa. When they sent me our SA, it says my file will be sent to a different VO but it did not say which VO. When we received our prearrival Letter, the letter came from Ottawa VO so I assumed our application is being processed in Ottawa.
IRCC inconsistencies
- Thread starter Adrian Timm
- Start date
When did you receive Sponsorship Approval email? Can you please add it in your signature timeline.
Right sorry I forgot to add it. February 9 is when I received Sponsorship Approval. It was 7 days after getting AOR
Are you or your sponsor thinking of applying TRV for you? I mean, it would be an extra $100 expense, but from what we are being told that TRV will be mostly issued within 30 days, if AOR and SA has been issued on Spousal PR application.
Once you get TRV, you can travel to Canada, after reaching there can also apply for OWP.
But question is, would you wait for your COPR then PPR to arrive - or start the TRV right away?
We thought about applying for TRV but decided that we will wait until early August for the COPR to come out. My wife can't travel yet anyway unless we get an approval from her doctor that its okay for her to travel right now (currently pregnant).
We could always try applying for TRV if her COPR doesn't arrive by August.
Oh Congrats firstly for the new comer in the family. Hopefully you guys get together very soon. Wish you the very best.
Inland common-law from Quebec. Could attest to the inconsistency. The GCMS notes, PR tracker, and GC key information all differ from each other. Even on the GCMS notes, despite that eligibility is not marked at complete or even in progress, the "notes" section seems to suggest that they had reviewed all of my documents, and my file is "ready for decision maker", whatever that means.
In my case they specifically said on my SA that they will send my spouse application to MVO for further processing. After that we really thought our file is in Manila. When I’m reading my GCMS yesterday and comparing it to Eagle333 I realize our file never even went to Manila. From CIO(Sydney) was sent to Ottawa IR.
I might have called at least 6 times during this process and every time I was asked by the agent I always say it is in overseas visa office. Every time I make a webform it is directed to MVO.

Another update:
Am now told, even with all their mistakes, we are to wait another 2 months for our pr card! Even though address and status were confirmed 6 months ago!
WHAT A MESS!

Well, make a note of all of this situation. Note if this situation caused any financial loss...and then law suit once you become citizen.
Trying to decide what or which is my best way proceed with this now.
My MP is at a lose as well.
Possibly an email to the minister of immigration, and maybe, like you mentioned, the news,(after we have that card in hand)
Unfortunately, there is not much we can do as of this moment, meaning while we are in the process. And i will never advise to throw stones in a pond when one is sitting on water lily. Yes, make note of everything, by date, note every issue and problem the delay is causing. And make a good case once you are in the system.
But please also realize, that its the same system that is trying to process so many applicants, so many complications, they also have to verify each applicant, each document - otherwise it will be us later who will criticize CIC for not doing their job well.
There's always 2 sides of a coin.
I do totally agree. The system needs to be fixed before they open arms to more, of which some will deal with the same frustrations.
I can’t imagine one that is unfamiliar with our ways and language, and having to deal with this, and not knowing where to turn next
