September 2024 - Inland Spousal Sponsorship

[Daksh131]

Hello Everyone please please help need guidance on below matter -

Has anyone left and re-entered Canada in the past six months while their spousal PR / SOWP application was in process?

Do you have any experience with this, or know someone who has done it?

Yes it's 24 months now according to the website. Quite unfortunate.

In my case I've gotten the sponsor approval in late December and haven't heard since. On the other hand, we applied for the TRV 'extension' from my wife's Student visa and that was approved within a month.

For tracking, did you try this?: https://ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login

I am tracking with it but everybody is saying here that link with GCKey. So i was asking. I got BIL today. Hoping to get PR within this year. 24 months are way too much. TRVs gets approved very fast.

Yes, my friend did this last year (in November 2024). She returned to her home country for a few weeks to visit her dying grandmother. While there, she received her P2, which delayed the process since she had to return to Canada first before proceeding with the P2 request. Fortunately, she was able to re-enter Canada without any issues at the airport.

However, this specific case does not guarantee that all situations will go smoothly. Ultimately, it depends on the CBSA at the airport and their discretion regarding entry.
