Hi,

I am posting to inquire how much is the current processing time taken by Vienna VO Office for Spouse PR Application?

Does anyone have their application processed recently through Vienna VO?

Myself applied in June 2023, no update after medical in Oct 2023.

Regards,

May I ask how long was it from the date everything was completed up to when your COPR reflected? Thanks.
Took only two days but all updates on tracker only. Portal background check and final decision still stays in progress/processing. I assume portal gets updated once the PPR is sent.

I had the same problem before but fortunately, I was able to figure it out by trying any combination as possible. What worked for me was using my UCI number and then Birth of Place. Try putting space after your entries too.

You likely got confused. Unless you are a PR or citizen of Canada, you cannot "sponsor a spouse for PR" under family class sponsorship.

I think you probably mean that you applied for a spousal open work permit SOWP for your spouse that's outland.
Or you have included your spouse in your PR application.

Look at the foreign worker section of the forum. This discussion timeline doesn't apply to your application.

A friend received the following email and wonders if it indicates a request for a passport. The Accra office have previously requested for numerous documents to verify the authenticity of their marriage which she has sent to them. However, she received the email below early this morning. Can you offer advice?
