****JULY 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

[Anthonymarshall]

Welcome to Family Class Sponsorship JULY 2018 thread - OUTLAND

Hi,

Feel free to ask questions, share thoughts and seek advice.


What happens after submitting my application?


If your application is complete, you will receive Acknoledgment of Receipt (AOR1) whithin 60 days, usually 45 to 56 days via email.


Then, if eligible, the sponsor will receive the Sponsor Approval email(SA) which contains the UCI (Unique Client ID) and application number to use for tracking the status of the application.



Then, if not submitted with the application:


1. Police Check Certificate Request(PCC)

2. Medical Exam Request

3. Request to pay for PR Card (RPRF)

4. Request to submit additional documents, 5. Request for any additional documents that were missing from your application.


At this stage, you can check the status of your application online(ECAS) or link your application to GCKEY.


Then you might receive a file transfer email to the Local Visa Office(VO).


God speed

Thanks for the information provided above

Hi. I am PR in Canada and I applied for my wife. She completed all the form and signed and then she sent it to me and then I sent it to the Sydney. Do i needed the Authorized Representative form signed by my wife? and If needed can I send it now? Thanks.

@nyira, so based on the response medical has been expired. Did you do a web inquiry directly with the local visa office? I wouldn't be worried about BGC etc if that didn't start. Sometimes they don't update the system. My husbands BGS, Pre Arrival and PPR was completed on the same day.

Do you have a lawyer?

Today is my husband's birthday and he received an email that his CoPR is ready to be picked up...Best Birthday present EVER.
Whole process - July 9, 2018 until August 9, 2019 (13 months)

Good luck to everyone, and I hope everyone gets reunited soon with their loved ones. This forum has been a great support.

If you didn't hear anything that means that they are finalizing things up. Don't worry about the BGC they just don't update it. Our application was almost 13montths with no reply and then in 1 day everything was completed.
Hang in there. Good news will come anytime now.
