I agree that people just post whereever they feel like... (inland vs outland is less annoying comparing to people posting about work permit or visitor visa with no family as PR/citizen in Canada)The title of this thread reads November 2022 Spousal Sponsorship Outland - Online. That seems to make very clear who should be posting here. But, after just 20 posts, the thread has already attracted 3 inland applicants to post. That seems to be the way on this forum. No one reads instructions and just post what they like, where they like, making for increasingly unwieldy threads as time goes on, with lots of irrelevant posting included. Makes the thread less and less useful. Take a look at the "Spousal Sponsorship" thread under the "Family Class Sponsorship" head. Now running to 2,792 pages. Who can draw anything from that?
I too applied online (only way to apply since Sept. 23) outland in Nov. 2022. But probably a waste of time to say much here, since already the thread is being cluttered up with posts that do not belong here.
I note as well, that rarely, if ever, do any of these kinds of threads specify just where the outland principal applicant is located. I suspect that one might see different patterns emerging if one were to compare, say, applicants from the Philippines against applicants from the United Kingdom, or France, or wherever. But, there seems to be an unwritten rule against stating the place of residence of the principal applicant. Not sure why that is. Maybe someone can explain.
Hello, did you get AOR yet ?Inland, Online
Application submitted on November 12, 2022.
Absolutely, I think the more info we can share with each other, the better. My wife and I were married in Cameroon June 20th, 2022. So we likely share similarities in our applications because our marriages are more recent. We took approximately 2 and a half months from start to finish with the application to make sure everything was in order, double checking documents, adding documents, etc.Thanks for that info.
Btw, I mentioned my view that we all should state residence country of the PA, not just out of nosiness or idle curiosity, but to allow us to see if applicants from some countries appear to enjoy quicker processing, fewer hassles, etc., than others. Of course, as @YVR stated above, many other factors come into play and, no doubt, no two applications are the same. Nonetheless, I regard it as useful information to share.
Anyway, having stated my position, I should also supply the same basic information I expect to see from others. Like @cygnusx1, I am also Canadian-born and wife is from Philippines. We submitted on November 27, 2022. We were married in the Philippines in April 2022. It took until late November to put together all the required paperwork. There were some serious obstacles to overcome before we could complete the application.
