October 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

[Joycan]

Hey. Thanks for the help and advice. I was able to find out that there is in fact an issue between the Singapore/Bangladesh visa offices. To be specific the Bangladesh visa office has been radio silent since it closed for quarantine so unless you went through other channels, you'd be in the dark. Word is it'll reopen on the 15th but that's not official. While it's not the update I hoped for, I definitely feel relief that I finally know something about my situation. Thanks again for your help!

Hey, how did you find out about the 15th, any news on the reopening?
Thanks

My husband's application was applied for on Oct 9, 2019. We are still waiting. The length of time indicated in the progress bar unfortunately doesn't mean anything. The length of time depends on how slow your visa office is. Mine is very slow.

Hi,

Were you able to check the message on GCKEY, about your medical exam? FYI, scroll down and look for Message about application. Based on the info above, they did not receive your medical result. Since it appears that you need some additional check up or laboratory. You may contact the agency or company who did you medical exam. Coz it will only take days or weeks for them to forward your medical exam result to VO where your papers will be process.
For me, I personally request for my medical result through email since it doesn't show on my GCKEY. This is just to be sure that they send it on time. On our application, it shows Passed medical exam, then they will start for the background check since I'm done with my biometrics, and no interview request.
Hoping you can get in touch with them soon.

Hey, how did you find out about the 15th, any news on the reopening?
Thanks

Hey. News of it reopening on the 15th was just a rumour among external immigration agents. Unfortunately we’ve now come to find out it isn’t true. So once again, we’re in the dark. No news so far.

Mississauga.

I received my passport request this morning as well. Things seems to be picking up! Although we still don't have the decision made on the GCKey lol.

Congrats for getting PPR. The last things I would be worried about is GCkey showing DM. You are done, submit it, wait for it to be returned with the COPR and pack your bags!!

Thank you!! I'm excited. I just got my photos taken today and shipped them off via UPS. Here's hoping it's a quick process! The seven months in-between the medical passing and getting the passport request were stressful enough.

^^This is true. We got our passport request over a month ago and have submitted passports. GCKey is unchanged and still says reviewing eligibility requirements, processing background check, application in progress. In short, no change at all since the medical results were passed. At the top of the page says "Latest update: Review of medical results - [date]".

(Apart from the correspondence in the section below which includes the passport request)

So basically GCKey is good for receiving the correspondence but the rest of the info is hopelessly out of date. ECAS seems to have more info (but I've never been able to get in). Bizarre system.

Yes the system is pretty convoluted, not a lot of consistency. You are still waiting for your COPR? For some reason I thought you were already in Canada or maybe I just saw you got PPR.

Yes, just PPR. There were/are some delays in getting the COPR done, nothing critical.

Hope it comes soon, your bags packed?

Anybody Receive update from NDVO?

 

[cbe2020]

Hi all, Just wanted to know if anyone from India has received DM or Passport request in the past couple of months?
My husband is in Quebec and has sponsored me. My application start date 15 Oct 2019 and has crossed 1 year mark. We haven't received any update in GCKey as well as ECAS. So just wanted to check whether others from India are also facing the same slump.
