what is the status of eligibility on the Tracker ?
if eligibility is completed, then you will get it soon, i believe
Nov 01 - none for 2 of my known applicants.

maniacs do Triaging at IRCC - and all is influenced on how they filter etc.. based on internal analytics. [AA]

FIFO gone out of roof .. no more..

Hi Everyone, Can someone help me understand if I need to file an extension for my Temporary visa? My Spousal application is already submitted and my biometrics are also done. I have received the AOR and applied for the work permit too. Legally I should leave the country by 18th March.

Is there a need for me to file the visa extension? If yes, is there a specific form?

If your work permit extension is in progress then you should be good. Wait for the application to be provess until then you don't have to leave country.

Hey guys i was hoping if someone can shed some light on my current situation. I am a canadian citizen residing in canada i want to sponsor my wife,she is also currently in canada. We are currently waiting on our marriage certificate we were told it takes about 8 weeks to receive. But the issue is i have some family commitment’s in USA for which i have to stay in the states for 4-5 months. Is there a way we can start our spousal application while i am in USA and my wife in canada ?
Thanks

Hi, did you apply for expedited marriage certificate? It would come sooner in that case. Since you are a Canadian citizen, you don't have to be inside Canada when the process is ongoing. Not sure if you start the process from outside Canada.

It doesn’t allow you to expedite , unfortunately that’s one certificate they don’t allow for you to get earlier .. I tried it as well.. you can’t apply for it until after 10 weeks .. it doesn’t matter how early you pay for it .. it literally took 3 months .

I got mine in 3 weeks :) While registering the marriage with the officiant you have to submit a letter stating the need/urgency along with an expresspost envelope.

There is no update on pr tracker but GCkey shows as completed and says background check in progress. How long does PR tracker take to update? What should I expect next?
