**NOVEMBER 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS**

[Janchor]

I got a question. When my wife gets to canada, can she apply for a visit visa for her father to come and visit in canada?
If so how would she go about doing that?
Thanks.

Post this query in the Visitor forum, there are well experienced people out there, they will guide you as to how u should go about applying.

Thank you. I have updated what I can in the documents. For me the VO is New Delhi.

Welcome to us!! What is your timeline? Your VO?

This is all I have that the Ottawa visa office has updated on the website:

1. We received your application for permanent residence on November 4, 2016.
2. We started processing your application on January 10, 2017.

However, I know they have done much more, such as receiving my medical. I have no idea why they aren't updating a thing. 4 months of not updating is a long time. This is the info for the online tool. I can't get GCKey to work. I have contacted customer service so I will see if they are helpful, but probably not. I'm thinking of ordering that 5 dollar thing to see how far they actually are, but I've heard even that takes a month to receive . it also feels as though I'm the only one with the Ottawa visa office. I haven't seen any threads for Ottawa

Ours still only says very little on the website (similar to yours) and we have received COPR already. They are famous for not updating ECAS or MyCIC correctly, so I would not take that as a concern. I know of others posting on this specific thread that have gone through Ottawa VO, so I am sure there are several other members here - though I am not sure why you cannot find a specific thread for it. I hope customer service is able to help you but I do recommend ordering your GCMS notes, as I have heard that often gets them to work on your case if they are not actively working on it. Ordering the notes will also give you a much better idea as to what is going on with your file. Order those ASAP, it will be a good decision for you for sure. I wish you all the best of luck, stay strong.

I am deciding to order those notes tonight and am hoping to see more than just 2 updates. I am wondering why the Ottawa office is not as popular? What is COPR?

The thing I like about the Ottawa office though is if I have questions I email them directly and they respknd

I am not sure why the Ottawa VO is not as popular, maybe due to the countries it deals with being easier to process, therefore there is not as many inquiries about it? Or not as many people from those countries wanting to come to Canada? That is just speculation though.

COPR stands for Confirmation of Permanent Residency. It's the piece of paper you receive after being accepted that you need to bring with you when you land in Canada once you've been approved as a PR.

I would definitely recommend that you order the notes... Yes it's a month of waiting but you get to know so many things! And also in many cases for some people it hurried the things up... So it's no pain in ordering them
As for the update on the app onlinewell I saw movement only after I ordered my notes... Before it was the same information I have seen since the first time I logged in... So, I know it may be hard but try not to worry to much about it!! Sometimes no news can also be good news! We have to be positive! In times like this it's the only thing that can get us going!
Good luck to you!!

Well I'm from USA, wanting to stay in Toronto through spouse sponsorship, I just find it weird not many people are in my situation with that on the forum.

Oh nice, congrats!

Thank you so much!

If you look back in this thread specifically, there are several others who are from the USA who applied in November 2016. There just doesn't seem to be a separate thread for the Ottawa VO.

My background check is still in process since February 22. I requested notes 20 days ago and I just received an email saying they can't process my request because they need consent for me to access the information on the notes. The problem is that I already sent them the consent form when I requested the notes. I'm very frustrated.
