Yeah I extended my TRV (expires in 2030) and my work permit expires in 2026.
Even tho I go with my spouse, 2 months is still a problem? I asked my consultant and he said it should be ok. I'm so nervous. Tysm

Did you apply as "inland" (I assume so since you posted in this discussion)?
Inland applicants are supposed to live inside Canada with their spouses/partners.
There is always a risk when you leave and try to re-enter.
Thank you for your response. My TRV visa stamping Category says V-1 (Visitor), wouldn't it be a problem if I use my work permit but the Visa stamping shows as "Visitor"? When officers asks about the status, I need to mention that I am on a Work permit right but the TRV shows as "Visitor". Any thoughts on this?
Same here. Says eligibility still in review in GCkey when I have already received AIP and sponsor eligibility back in December.
No updates after Dec 28, the last update I got was spousal eligibility approval letter and background check in progress.
Hey Guys
Has anyone gotten any updates recently? My last one was for AIP in December.
Also, the new processing times for Inland Spousal changed to 24 months.

Finally, I have an update after 7 months: my Medical has passed. However, I was not required to go for a medical as I had an exemption.
My thesis is every month they only check 10 days worth of applications meaning in Jan 2025 they checked the first 10 days of May 2024 then in Feb they did another 10 days and now they are on the last 10 days of May 2024.
By this Calculation, our turn will be in July 2025 only. Still, I am hopeful that it may come earlier, as this calculation initially came to my mind in January 2025 when they increased processing time. And at that time it made sense that if someone applied then they could get their application processed by 24 Months but now this calculation is out of scope for new applications.
For example: In Jan 2025 they were processing applications for May 2024 so if someone is applying in Jan 2025 they have to wait for 8 months of applications to be processed so 8*3=24 as one month of applications takes 3 months to clear (10 days a month). but if we do the same calculations now it will be more than that so they have to increase the speed now or they will increase the processing time further.

That's an interesting take and it actually makes sense, thanks for sharing it.
I applied on July 17 and yesterday my tracker showed last updated on March 10, 2025 after December 12, 2024, but doesn't show any updates!!
