MARCH 2020 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

[armoured]

Are they getting PPRs from NDVO?

No, but this is for obvious reasons that have nothing to do with what is claimed in that report. It's because of the travel ban and closed VACs in India.

They're not going to prioritize issuing PPRs when people can't travel, and even more so when the passports can't be delivered. This started at almost exaclthy the same time as the travel ban. Other countries proceeding as before.

I don't know the report and didn't see (but mistakes happen all the time in media, unfortunately). I am guessing that this was for a non-family sponsorship type. But only a guess. Otherwise clearly not true for family sponsorship (save the situation in India, which is well known).

Hi All, I saw this in one of the news articles today and this was posted as response received from IRCC for an Outland dependent PR application “Regarding your application, as your dependents are overseas, the application will be placed on hold as we are only processing applications for Permanent Residency if all family members are in Canada. Unfortunately, we cannot be sure when travel restrictions will be lifted.” So it looks like IRCC is only processing inland applications and that is why we are not getting PPR yet.

That is applicable to all PR application streams except family class sponsorship.

You can try your mp but if in India, they do not seem to be issuing pprs right now for obvious reasons.

I also received today the invitation to pre-arrival services but ECAS is still in process.
Does it mean we are a step closer?

Congrats! Well, I've searched through the forum, and there are multiple opinions and situations. Many say that pre arrival means the applicant passed the eligiblity check. Good if so. Also, some people get DM and even PPR the same day with their pre arrival. Some get DM weeks later and PPR months later. So you never know for sure. Let's hope for the better and sooner)
