**MISSISSAUGA PROCESSING** - Outland Spousal Applicants

[PoutinePlease]

The thing that scares me a lot is that it looks like most of my fellow American December-March applicants that applied the same route as me, have already landed or at least received PPR. It's making me constantly get worried!

thank you so much for your reply. Do you happen to know how my husband will et his visa stamp then? do we need to travel back to canada for or or just get it when we move there maybe at the immigration office behind customs.

I called IRCC and asked and the man I spoke with on the phon

If you have US/Canada as your primary address on the app, then you will be asked to send it to Ottawa. If its anywhere else then it will be the Visa Office serving your address.

Background check finally started for us! We are February applicants and being processed in Mississauga. Things were not moving for a very long time, but we received a medical request two weeks ago, we got a notice that our application was being processed in Mississauga about 10 days ago, CIC now shows that background check has started, and we received another letter today asking for the form IMM 5409 (declaration of common-law status). So excited that our application is finally moving forward

For those of you in Mississauga who have BG check IP and/or DM: when did your meds request come in relation to those things? Am I correct in assuming that for a lot of Mississauga folks, they are doing the meds request fairly close to the end of the process? I have not received my meds request yet.

I'm an early June applicant. My background check hasn't started yet (at least according to my ECAS and GcKey accounts). We got the "will be processed in Mississauga" email on August 29th (the first batch of this email), and then received the medical request on September 1st. I think it's still too early too notice a significant pattern to how the applications are processed in Mississauga. Hopefully you will get your medical request soon.

Hi guys can anyone explain to me how spouse sponsorship processing works, let's say I am sponsoring my wife and fill up application with all required document send it to CPC then CPC accept my application and send me aknowledge lettet and few month latter they send me letter that i met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. So that means they check everything of mine and cleared me like no criminal record etc rite? Then CPC send my application to visa office for further processing so can anyone explain to me what the process of visa office? Do they check my BG and everything else again?

Hi there. If you received the letter saying that you met the requirements to be a sponsor, this means that you are cleared and are now the acting sponsor. The visa office that processes the remaining time of the application will be looking into the relationship background and especially the principal applicant's (your wife's) history, criminality, intentions, etc - essentially all information you both provided about her in the forms and enclosed documents you sent will be looked into for the remaining time.

So the good news would be that you're approved and they've started the bulk of the application for PR now!

I just got my PPR letter Friday night. My DM was on Sept, 1.

Congrats!
Did you actually receive a physical letter? Any update on Ecas/CGKey?

Thanks. No my sponsor received an email on Friday that my application will be processed in Mississauga. Then after 4 hours I got an email that there is a message for me in GCKey. The request letter was there.

Oh wow. That's interesting. There were some cases of Mississauga applicants being transferred to Ottawa just for the PPR and CoPR stages, but yours is the opposite. Your application was being processed in Ottawa until DM and you got your PPR email from Mississauga. Now I'm even more confused. Lol! Is there an address at the top of your PPR email? If so, then did it say Ottawa or Mississauga? In the PPR email, where did they ask you to send your passport? Do let us know.

I got email from donotreply@cic.gc.ca telling that there is a message in GCKey. The PDF in there directed me to send the passport to Ottawa.

Oh ok. So you too have to mail your passport to Ottawa. That makes more sense considering what we know so far. Although that makes me wonder, why your sponsor even got the "your application will be processed in Mississauga" email the same day you got the PPR email from Ottawa. I mean, your application was already being processed in Ottawa and you got your DM from Ottawa. I guess it was probably an error on CIC's part. Anyways, congratulations once again!

Thanks and good luck to you as well.

Not only me but about 3-4 others, who had gotten DM on Sept 1, got same email on Friday around 7-8 in the evening CST. And around 4 hours later I got the email about the message in GCKey but they did not get the ppr yet. Its weird. I think the only thing I did different was send an email to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca. with a screen shot of DM on Oct, 3rd.

One thing i can think of is may be my app had been transferred to Mississauga but the email never came and when they touched my file sent that followed by ppr.

Yah it is weird that only you got the PPR email since so far we know that CIC sends out emails in batches. I wonder why is that? Every time I think I'm close to understanding how it all work, something completely different happens and throws me off. lol

That's how the government and their officers work, don't you think? Service Canada agents, boarder officers, etc they all have different procedures depending on who you talk to.

Bit of an update. We hadn't heard anything from them since my wife passed her medical exam. I called today and it looks like they thought that we didn't send the FBI certificate with the Schedule A request but we did. So the guy took a look for me and confirmed that we did in fact submit both. So he told me he was going to send a message to Mississauga to tell them that we did submit it I guess, and then hopefully it will be sent to Ottawa and continue going. Sometimes it definitely pays to just call them and ask them whats up.
