***UPDATE***
Ecopr received today. Good luck everyone!
***UPDATE***
Received PR card in the mailbox yesterday. Pro Tip: Once you see an update in the portal that your PR card application is approved and the card is mailed, set up CanadaPost MyMail service so you can track the mails coming to you in the app. For most of them, the PR card mail says "Canada Bank Note" as a sender, but in my case, it says General mail. Good luck, everyone.

Hey Everyone,

Would love your thoughts on this and I wanted to hear your thoughts compared to your experience for your Inland Spouse Sponsorship Application.
  • Sponsor: Canadian Born Citizen
  • Submitted: 2024-01-14
  • AOR: 2024-01-30
  • Biometric Request: 2024-02-21
  • Biometrics Payment: 2024-02-24
  • Biometrics Completed: 2024-02-26
  • Medical Completed: 2024-02-28
  • Eligibility Completed: 2024-05-08
  • Pre-Arrival Services Letter: 2024-05-09
  • Sponsor Eligibility Letter: 2024-05-09
  • Background Check changed to In-Progress: 2024-09-05
It was radio silent since May to September and since September it’s been quiet.
I’m just wondering as it is reaching close to 12 months of processing time and have seen others applied around the same time as me and after me have received the eCOPR.

Any thoughts by anyone? When I can expect to hear back for Portal 1?

You should definitely call IRCC if you haven't already done so. Try to get an idea of what stage the background check is at.

It's not far past the expected processing time when we applied, so hopefully you're not that far away.

Thanks for your reply.
I called them and it seems I just have to wait, still waiting on security and background clearance they said. Was hoping I could end the year with finally having my PR.
