Hi Friends,


Need your advise.


I got the PPR email and have forwarded my passports to Abudhabi embassy and waiting for COPR.


The CSQ and PR is only for myself and my two kids. My husband is excluded as I had applied as single applicant with kids due to points shortage.


We plan to soft land by February 2020 for two weeks and come back. Now my question is :


1. When can I apply for my spouse visa (PR) after getting my PR card. Any time frame is there.

2. Is it possible to take visit visa for him by me and we all can travel to Montreal as a family and then apply for Open Work Permit for him so that family is not seperated.

3. How long does it take to get Spouse PR if I apply inland?. I know it’s a case to case basis but still need to know the approximate time.

4. We work in Middle East. Kindly advise us the best time to settle in Montreal so that my children studies are not affected. They are in class 3 and UKG.



Kindly advise.

Thanks..

I'm in the same situation but I live in Quebec.

1. You can apply after you get your PR cart, but you have to stay here, at least 6 months per year. Only Canadian citizens can apply from abroad. Your husband can be abroad, that's not an issue.
2. I know that he has the right to apply for open work permit. I guess it should not be a problem the visitor visa, but since you are from UK I think that he does not need a visa to enter the country.
3. About an year.
4. My daughter was 7 years old when we arrived. She started french school, in Montreal they have special classes for kids who can not speak french. I don't know if you can start at English school or not, since you are anglophones !?. Anytime is disturbing, earlier is always better (my opinion) Here, there are a lot of immigrants, kids starting in the middle of the year is not an issue. The first week of march is the winter/spring break.

Keep in mind than February is in the middle of the winter, it can be really cold. For two week I don't think you can get your PR card.

My SO had the PPR email on Nov 8. He sent his prepaid envelope and documents on Nov. 11. On Nov. 23, we got an email from GCKey saying there was an update to the file. We looked, and the timeline now says: "We're done processing your application."

Under final decision, it says:
  • November 22, 2019 Your application was approved. Check your messages below for details.
(there's nothing in the messages)

We are still waiting on the prepaid envelope to make its way to us with what I imagine to be the COPR. Does he need to leave the country and re-enter in that case? His country does not need a visa for entry to Canada, so they did not ask for his passport, only a copy of the ID page.

It also now shows background check and eligibility review having been completed on May 9, 2019. We had received the invitation to pre-arrival services email on May 10. This means that if you got that email, your eligibility+background check are complete, even if GCkey doesn't say so.

But note that between May 10, 2019 and September 30, 2019 (when we got the medical invitation), nothing was done on the file. Basically, it just sat there. That's almost 5 months right there... But at least between medical request and COPR: less than 2 months. So there's that.

Anyway, thought I'd share the timeline and more info, for those who are still in the process. Good luck!
