Hi everyone,



My background checks have been completed on the PR tracker, but eligibility has not started. Is this normal or something to be worried about? Most people get background checks after a pre-arrival email, worried that something may be wrong.



Thank you so much

Thank you.

That should not be a problem. I think they can show up in any order on your status tracker. In my case :
My Background check was completed first, then PRE-arrival > ELIGIBILITY check> PPR > COPR.
 
Hello everyone,

Hi everyone!! I applied for my husband’s sponsorship on January 26, 2022. His biometrics and medical was done in July 2022 and I also got the sponsor approval in July as well. But after July there has been no updates at all. Eligibility and background checks still in process. I don’t know what’s going on! Is anyone having the same issue?

Are you inland or outland?

It is normal for the process to appear to have been stalled during the background check. This takes time and patience.

Hi everyone,

So I had my paper application submitted (for Family Class Spousal Sponsorship) in the first week of January 2022, biometrics were completed and then the Medical was completed in July 2022. The last update my wife got was a "Procedural Fairness Letter" on November 11th 2022, they needed some more information and a new Police Clearance Certificate which was sent end of November. Since then there has been no update at all, we are in a tough situation as there has been no acknowledgement (as usual) and we are at a stand still.

Just wanted to ask others on here if they are in a similar situation, and have their Application stuck in limbo. My wife is in Pakistan if that information helps. Also I wanted to ask if there is anything we can do to get a proper update. Any information or help will be greatly appreciated. Good luck to you all!

Can I ask what was the reason for PFL?

They wanted information on why we have not yet completed our Rukhsati (Wedding ceremony where the bride leaves to her Husbands house). We applied based on our Nikkah papers and had not done the Rukhsati at that time. So this time I sent them pictures of everything they required.
