March 2023 - Spousal Outland Application

[ghouliette]

I will try to keep progress updated here and on my profile. -

Spousal Sponsorship (outland)
Sponsor: Canadian citizen
Principal Applicant Residency: United Kingdom
Visa Office: Sydney > Mississauga
Submission Date: March 25, 2023
Relationship Status: Married
AOR: Never officially received
SA: Never received
Biometrics Done: June 27, 2023
Medical Done: July 31, 2023
Medical Passed: September 4th, 2023
Background: We have had 2 major bumps with the submitted police certificate ("wrong country") and medical exam (saying we never completed, but this was resolved). We are now in limbo as we await the 30 days for the new requested ACRO police certificate [extension date to January 15, 2023].


Thanks for sticking with our journey. It is getting stressful with the big gaps between responses from IRCC.

Congratulations

Our application submitted March 30th. Everything went well.. Then they requested an updated police certificate Nov 2, submitted Nov 17, Eligibility went back to processing but never heard anything after that

By the way, would be able to share dates when your eligibility and background check completed?

Our application has been frustrating as we never received standard notifications like others.. Only request e-mails.

We NEVER received the Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR), the Sponsor Approval (SA) nor the eligibility and background completed e-mails.

I received a Medical Request for my husband's outland PR file from IRCC on July 25th, 2024. He is in Canada as visitor and landed on 29th April. He did an upfront medical on April 15th, 2024 in Bangladesh targeting the application for open work permit which I applied when he was in Canada on May 6th, 2024. I also uploaded the upfront medical in his open work permit file and it is under process too. Now, I uploaded that medical's information sheet of the upfront medical for his PR file via webform as per the temporary public policy for immigration medical exams (IMEs) valid until October 6, 2024 which exempts certain In-Canada applicants with tbese conditions:
1. You applied, or are applying, for either permanent residence or temporary residence.
2. You already live in Canada.
3. You completed your previous IME in the last 5 years.
4. Your previous IME indicated a low risk or no risk to public health or public safety. .
Will it work? Or do I have to do medical again in Canada?

I was actually convinced on that, till i saw this page on CIC website. Have you checked it? While reading it, the critical difference is the requirement that you have to be in Canada. But what im seeing in 2 different cases so far (the first instance), that CIC has accepted upfront or prior medicals.
===================================================================================
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/medical-exams/requirements-permanent-residents.html

In-Canada applicants
We’ve put in place a temporary public policy for immigration medical exams (IMEs) until October 6, 2024.

If you completed an IME within 5 years of submitting your new application, include the IME number (or the unique medical identifier number) from your previous exam in your current application.

You may be exempt from completing another IME if you meet all of these conditions:

• You applied, or are applying, for either permanent residence or temporary residence.
• You already live in Canada.
• You completed your previous IME in the last 5 years.
• Your previous IME indicated a low risk or no risk to public health or public safety.

If you apply for permanent residence, you must have an immigration medical exam. Your family members must also have a medical exam, even if they’re not coming with you.

You've already uploaded the medical report that was done earlier. Chances are you might be asked to do it again.

Lets hope I'm wrong. But the ball is in CIC's court now.
