Important information about Canada’s travel restrictions due to COVID-19

Not true... people get DM 1 week after medical status changes to PASSED. Medical status takes up to 1 week to change to passed after that you get DM.

I didn't get pre arrival and PPR.

Hey not trying to be rude but u have a high chance of refusal. Even my sister got DM without Pre-arrival, medical extension, or remedical. She got refusal 26 days after DM sadly... I would suggest ordering your GCMS notes just to be on the safe side in case you get refusal you will know why and be ready to appeal. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

When your status got changed on gc key? Once iom submits, how many days it take for gc key status to get updated
In a Week. I wasn't checking mine. Thought it gonna take 8 weeks so i shouldn't check it, not to hurt myself. Lol. Cant thank Allah enough. I was so worried. I do have a medical condition, which is not related to lungs and all. I did show my medical history to them but they gave me additional medical anyway. In the end Its all ok shukar Alhumdulilah.

Zacky it all depends bro.
sputum smear test takes a week.
and culture takes 8 weeks.
if they take ur culture test too. then its gonna long wait.
those guys just did my sputum smear test. may be because i had my reports with me. they knew my condition. It was just their doubt.
So u cant compare with me. I am a bit different. I had my medical history in hand.

so just pray bro
inshaAllah u ll hear good news.
its definitely delays the case. but think about the good news in the end.
when u ll get ur negative reports, all this wait wont bother u.
And the negative report is all that matters now.

Please try to read law of sections about updating or changing your address.....you see changing address is misrepresentation as she is just "VISITING" him with her child whose also a Canadian Citizen but she did not moved permanently there...she does has to explain in her letter about her situation but changing address is not important because she is going back to Canada soon after he gets PPR
She has been there for more than a year. She is 'residing' outside of Canada. It doesn't matter whether this is permanent or not - she is not residing in Canada in any sense.

Regardless as a citizen she is allowed to reside outside Canada while the sponsorship application is being processed.

I repeat my point before: she may be asked to provide information/evidence of intent to return to Canada to reside (which is not onerous and should be possible if she does intent to do so and has maintained some things like Canadian bank accounts, etc).

But it may be distinctly to the advantage of the applicant and spouse in this case to do so because residing together for more than one year is VERY strong evidence of it being a genuine relationship (ie a real marriage).

In this case may be worth applying also for TRV (may get granted but also evidence of intent to return to Canada with spouse), and order gcms notes.

I do not know about chances of refusal but agree that DM without pre-arrival could possibly mean a refusal is coming or a procedural fairness letter - and that ordering gcms notes as soon as possible is advisable. (The problem being that a refusal or procedural fairness letter come with short time periods to respond or appeal and it helps to know - from gcms notes - what possible reasons are in order to prepare.)

Hi everyone,

I filed my husband's outland application in Jun 2019 as a Canadian citizen. After that, I had our baby in late 2019 and came to Pakistan. We submitted our baby's Canadian birth certificate to ircc too. Because of a family emergency, I had to stay here and then the pandemic began in 2020, so I didn't travel back to Canada. I don't want to go back without my husband with me but our application isn't moving. Do I need to inform ircc that I'm not in Canada or can I travel with my husband somehow? If anyone has any idea, please share. Thanks.

Application Received: June 18, 2019
Biometric Done: August 25, 2019
Medical Passed: October 06, 2019
ADRs provided (pol. cer.): November 30, 2019
App. Sent to London Office: January 10, 2020
after that, there was an update: "We started processing your application on October 6, 2020.", which I don't understand.
Hi

You had already provided birth certificate of your child to IRCC don't need to provide any thing else and also don't need to tell them how long u been in pakistan because if you are out of canada for more than 183 days you can be loose residency status as per canadian tax rule so they may ask you to go back canada and provide up to date job paper or mean of support paper so i will advise you to patiently wait for response from IRCC..

regards

This part I bolded makes no sense. Residency status per tax rules is residency status for tax purposes only. For a citizen, it has no direct effect upon the ability to sponsor. "Losing" the residency status for tax purposes is irrelevant - and at any rate, gaming the rules by pretending to be in Canada (for tax purposes? doesn't make sense to me) could have potentially negative repercussions.

And overall a spousal sponsorship does not have a fixed income or job requirement, and I don't even know what is meant here by a 'means of support paper.'

IRCC can certainly determine whether the sponsor is in Canada or not. There's no good reason to 'hide' it for a citizen and potential negative consequences. On the contrary in this case residing with the spouse and informing IRCC may help with the application as they are (presumably) living together and supports the genuine nature of relationship.
