Hello everyone, conjugal partner (my sponsor) received mail that he’s elegible as a sponsor ircc sent me a medical exam I’ve done it yesterday. Is that a good sign? Also my biometric is completed and BG - in progress and eligibilty - not started. What’s next step, did anybody know somethig I appriciate it and thanks a lot everyone!
It is positive in that the application was accepted as complete (not sent back for errors) and the sponsor passed, yes. The sponsor-accepted and related communications is also referred to as AOR (ackonwledgement of receipt).
But this is early stages and doesn't say much about how later stages will be or how long they will take. Starting point for expectations should be the full time period IRCC advertises for recent apps (i.e. 12 months + from date of application received).
Be prepared, this is the longest part of the process - just waiting - and during which there is usually very little communication from IRCC.
You can order GCMS notes if you wish - which at this point would usually contain no more than a short paragraph of summary/preliminary analysis by a junior officer. It may contain a point or two that need to be checked. It can occasionally (or perhaps rarely) be useful. Personally I would do so because it MIGHT provide info on whether their initial analysis is that you (appear to) meet the conjugal program requirements - but I have not seen anyone do so or provide the text from that summary paragraph.
You should also look at the new policy on providing TRVs to spouses. You can apply under that, and, if granted, come to Canada and apply for a work permit while you wait for the PR to be finalized.
Warning though - this policy is new and very little experience on how frequently visas will be granted. As far as I read it, it is not yet clear whether it even applies to conjugal cases (because not 'spouses' in the formal sense). For that reason you might want to wait a bit and see how it gets applied (but read up on the policy and follow what others report).
Good luck.
