February 2017 * OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLIC*

[lasca]

Mississauga/ ottawa. My update from our MP days were at both and they’re actively doing different parts.

If you are outland it should be VO outside of Canada

I’m from the US.
So no.

Congratulation. What is your time line and which visa office?

It switched from Mississauga to Ottawa and then back to Mississauga. Police records were submitted upfront.

- Application received Feb. 8, 2017.
- I was accepted as sponsor on Apr. 22, 2017, I think.
- Medical request was some time in May.
- The medical results were not submitted until July due to various delays.
- Not sure when background check began.
- Decision was made on Sep. 22, 2017.
- Passport was requested on Oct. 26, 2017.

Well...not necessarily. Ottawa/Mississauga processes quite a few outland applications. Mine being one of those as well, applied from Sweden.

Dear all, if any of you know and can advise: Today I am finally seeing "Decision Made" on ECAS website but my Background check is still under progress and also have not received passport request. So what does that mean... is my application approved or not?

It's probably approved. From what I gather, the CIC account won't change until after the confirmation of permanent residence, so don't worry about it. Additionally, the passport request can take time before it's issued. My wife waited almost five weeks for hers.

Hi all! ECAS shows Decision Made!! Background check went into progress on October 4th and less than a month later Decision Made! Now the wait for COPR. Does anyone know how long it might take to receive after decision is made for PA living in England? Are they usually mailed?

I hope so. Thanks for your reply.

Hello all,
We also applied in Feb 2017, got sponsor approval in April, file was sent to local office in Rabat Morocco in July 2017. Since July the status is the same, i.e. 'We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements'. And there is also a message: 'We need more documents to continue processing your application. We will send you a message with more details.' Until now we have not received any requests from them. I called CIC Canada, sent requests to Rabat. CIC in Canada said that they do not know why this status is posted as they do not see the local office remarks or notes. Rabat is silent. Did anyone have or has at the moment the same situation?
thank you!

I applied in Feb 2017 as well and yet to hear from Rabat VO. Everything was submitted upfront. Did you request for the case notes?

Medical is cleared and they are stuck at reviewing eligibility

 

[CdnWifeLivingInThailand]

Fellow Canadian here waiting for a loved one to finally get their PR approved so that we can begin our lives together in Canada! Hoping in time for a white Christmas in Canada... but we'll see if that is possible or not!

Just a heads up that the consolidated excel spreadsheet is up and running again and "editable". Sorry about any confusion if you may have visited when it was only viewable for 5 days a couple weeks ago. That was an unintentional mistake and I'm sorry about that... Please update your status so everything is up-to-date, and helpful for others to see average processing times (If you no longer want to be on the spreadsheet, feel free to delete your information as well.)

Good luck with all those that are still waiting!

Thanks!

Medical is cleared and they are stuck at reviewing eligibility

Same in our case, medical passed and stuck at reviewing eligibility from June 23. It is really frustrating.
