Hi can we apply for open work permit once we have submitted the spousal sponsorship and if we are on a visiting visa?

Are you inland or out? If inland it should have been submitted the same time as the PR app, if outland you do not qualify for an OWP.

Hi. When did you receive PPR? On 20th March or 19th March?
 
received PPR today. What is the process to schedule the pickup with VFS India and process the visa stamping?
While biometrics was done at the VFS they gave a preforma and asked to fill that form on receiving the ppr request. The instructions were given in the form. If you havnt received the preforma you can share your ppr request email and passport copy along with the receipt received on payment of biometrics received from VFS to this email id
passportsubmission@vfshelpline.com. Hope it's helpful.

Any guess after second time having Application recieved status on ecas... How much time it takes for decision made?
 
Hey Guys, Not sure how many from March 2020 are affected with CPC-Missisuaga Delays. But I just want to bring this you their attention

Guys, please share this as much as possible on Twitter and Facebook. Reach out to your MPs and ask them for help and push them to reach out to Marco Mendicino (Liberal Eglinton-Lawrence and Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) to address this issue.

OR else get ready to wait for another 6 to 12 months, with no visible timeline on the COVID-19 situation.

Hello everyone, I'm Sri Lankan national and currently living in Canada as a permanent resident. I sent Sponsorship application on March 9th 2020 to bring my wife here. I got AOR on 16th of October 2020 saying that they hace received the application. When i called them, one of the agents told me still in background check, i don't know what that's mean. The application still in Canada.Until now i did not get any other updates. Does anyone know why it's taking so long?
