ok, I think this is good news, I finally got my sponsor application approved, and they mention that the application will be forwarded to the visa office, still, no word on medical though, is this normal?

I did 1 and 3.. For one easiest thing was to add her as a beneficiary to life insurance. It took a few mins. For 3, it was social media posts of people saying congrats (facebook, instagram and what not), plus some regular family and friends photos of gatherings at different times (different from the "formal" ones provided for the marriage/engagement ceremonies.)

Hi @Becoming , for me I selected #4 (friends and family drafted a letter in support of our relationship) and I typed out a letter explaining why I the other options were not applicable in my situation.

That means it has been received at VO . For February applicant, that was quick! Encouraging signs. You can probably call IRCC to check which visa office it has been sent to?

I'm really anxious that mine hasn't changed to application received...but reading through some old posts... Paris VO isn't always the best at updating...who knows... I just want some indication if they're processing my husband's application or not.

I did 1, 2, and 3. I added forms showing beneficiary for my financial account, papers showing us as having a joint account, medical/insurance with beneficiary information, signed letters from friends about about our relationship, cards from family about our wedding and anniversary, receipts from when he sent me money through western union. and hoping that they will look through the clippings I sent of our text messages I sent as part of my proof of contact so that they can see that the relationship is what it really is. Good luck!

I am in the same boat as you... don't they get that this is nerve wracking? I wish they had some sort of compassion training or something to let these workers realize that they are juggling lives. I don't understand how they can process over 50k apps in the different areas of economic classes in the first 2 months of the year when the borders are closed to them right now anyways. If they put that man power into family then they would have the backlog cleared and be able to process any new ones in probably less than 2 months. It is so frustrating.

Oh, I also added things like facebook posts where we showed that we announced our engagement and our relationship to our families and friends and that people reacted or commented and that we were friends with each other's family on there.

Update: I'm assuming my spouse's PR application was rec'd at AVO, I'm not sure when that happened as he did not receive an email correspondence.
However, Permanent Residence Application Status changed from "In Process" to "Application Received"
