Hello, I have been referenced to this forum as there are many helpful individuals who provide information on applications from past experience and/or knowledge about the current situation and processing times.
IRCC has a vague explanation of why and how applications are being delayed. My situation is as follows and I was hoping to get some help and insight of where my application status may stand at this point. Information is as follows:
- Sep.19.2019 : Paid Sponsorship fees + Biometrics & Sent complete application to IRCC
- Nov.22.2019 : Email from IRCC that application has been recieved
- Jan.02.2020 : Biometrics Request
- Jan.03.2020 : Medical Request
- Jan.03.2020 : Additional Info Required (Submitted same day)
- Jan.06.2020 : Enrolled Biometrics
- Jan.06.2020 : Email recieved "We are pleased to inform that you have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor"
- Jan.15.2020 : Passed Medical Results
- Jan.31.2020 : Email recieved, file transfered to London for further processing
- Mar.05.2020 : AOR recieved via portal and email
- Sep.23.2020 : Status bar reached 100% : "Your application is taking us longer than usual to process. About 20% of our applications are more complex to process."
No response after that, I have sent emails, Web forms, etc. But only response I received was that the file is waiting in queue for immigration officer.
- Jan.30.2021 : Pre-Arrival letter
- Feb.11.2021 : Request Letter : "The processing of your application is ongoing and in order to continue processing, we require the following
updated documents. We request that the below items be received in our office :
- Schedule A
- Police Certificate (asked for a new one)
- Travel History form
Additionally, portal used to show "Medical test Passed" with the date but now it say, you do not need a medical test.
Feb.14.2021 : Uploaded all documents requested via IRCC Portal
Current Portal Screenshot :
Review of eligibility
This is the overall summary and timeline of my spouse's application. I am pretty sure I have gotten 1 or 2 ghost updates but I don't know what that means. It's a lengthy post but if I could get any help from anyone with past experience or current information about processing, it will really help me out. Thank you.
