    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    I finally received a response from my MP after they spoke with VO office: Application is at Warsaw Office. The current expected processing time for this application from the application date (December 15th, 2021) is 17 - 20 months (i.e. May 15th, 2021 the earliest). Eligibility: Not Started...

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    She did apply for TRV about 3 years ago but they declined saying she wouldn't return to her home country. I have no idea how they came to that judgment but she didn't try applying again. We weren't married back then (dont know if being married helps or not). She's not currently in Canada...

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    Makes sense. From what I can tell from my wife's application, it feels more like a backlog issue rather than discrimination issue. Since both eligibility and background haven't even started yet, I'm guessing they are too busy processing Ukrainian applications (understandable). I did have a...

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    I always assumed the requirement of visa was a "being on the safe side" issue as in to decrease the chances of them overstaying their visas or staying her permanently. I moved to Canada myself as a kid from a different country that requires visas and I know that when I ask people there, many of...

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    She isn't a Russian national. She is Kazakh. Don't know if that helps or not. However, that's pretty sad that immigration officers would de-prioritize Russian nationals. Wouldn't that be illegal?

    Ugh. I’m guessing the Warsaw bottleneck is because of Ukrainian refugees?

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    They responded via email and requested that I send a signed consent form the same day. I did that. That was a week ago, any idea how soon I should expect any news? I haven't emailed anything since, because of the Christmas and New Years holiday... Seems like Vancouver MP tries to help quite fast.

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    Thanks. Just sent an email and left a voicemail to my MP to check the email as well. Should I go in in-person to the office and request a meeting as well?

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    Hey everyone, Our application hasn’t had any updates since April 22, 2022. We applied online on December 14, 2021. My wife is the PA and I’m the sponsor. We are tired of traveling around just to be together. Any idea on what I can do to help move the needle? Our application is in Warsaw...

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    Congrats. My wife is on the same boat except the pre-arrival letter. What is a pre-arrival letter btw? Also regarding your application tracker, does it say “eligibility” and “background verification” passed yet?

    As far as I know, if you applied in December 2021 then your application should be approved by December 2022 as long as you don’t need to send additional information. I don’t know how much your application will be delayed because of additional documents request but hopefully another month extra...
