My opinion:
First, no-one should include ALL their chat history. IRCC says 10 pages max, I think.

Second, go through first time filling out and collecting but including only the basics of what they ask for (that you have). THEN, go back and read over your app and see what you didn't have/couldn't include, and if there are / appear to be any gaps in the basic story.

In your case, based only on what I read above, you MIGHT conclude that there is not much info about your relationship before you started living together, and you've only been living together for 3 months, so perhaps that's thin. If so, THEN think what you could provide that would be best to supplement. If you met online and never saw each other until september, chat history would be pretty important; if you met in person and visited each other in person a lot before you moved, pictures and that stuff would probably be stronger.

Use your judgment as to what makes the best case for you, WITHOUT snowing them in with info. Just what you need to fill the gaps.
Thanks - I will take that into consideration. We did meet once in person, we have many photos from then, and of course spoke everyday virtually.

Spousal Sponsorship - Outland
Submitted request letter and necessary RRF documents to VFS Dubai last week. Yesterday Tracker updated to application 'closed'. GCKey updated to Final Decision - 'Your application has been approved. Check messages below for more details.'
No new message has been posted.
Yesterday, I received message that decision package is at VFS Dubai for collection.
I can't get down there to pick up the letter for a while but a assume all completed now?

Questions, if anyone can advise
1. Will a letter be posted on the GC Key? Is that the same as the letter in the decision package?

2. Assuming the package has the COPR, can I have a short visit to Canada without 'landing'? Daughter's graduation, so want to visit for just 3-4 days and officially land with my sponsor in July 2025. (UK passport so have an ETA)

Unauthorized work and visitor record extension

Hello everyone, I need some help regarding spousal sponsorship.We have been married for few months now and we just got our marriage certificate. My wife is applying for inland spousal sponsorship for me.

I had few questions. My pgwp expired in the summer and I worked couple months unauthorized (on visitor record)and I want to come clean to ircc and I will be eligible under public policy which will still give me admissibility(waives the problem of being inadmissible due to overstay/unauthorized work). I am not working the job anymore.

My visitor record expires next month and I don't think we will be able to apply for sponsorship before my visitor record expires. Will disclosing unauthorized work in visitor record extension application cause any problems since I will be extending that before applying for spousal sponsorship for us.

I hope I could get any advice regarding this since we will be applying without a representative.
Thank you in advance for anyone willing to help.
