What is the Application Processing Time for dependents outside Canada and when does it start counting?
I talked to IRCC today, they say 18 months approximately these days, but no guarantees

Time starts when they receive the complete application

I would try to raise a webform and explain to them (Visa Officer) nicely with a touch of humanitarian and emotional ground, how you are suffering alone here and how those impacting your life and how your partner is suffering there and how those impacting his life and finish with some nice words.
I already sent a email with humanitarian and emotional ground but no reply from them yet.....

Thank you Sohaib1. We are still waiting even though we are worried. My husband’s eCAS still shows “Application Received” since I got PR. It was previously showing “In Process”

Is it random?
Mine was showing “Application Received” since submitted almost a year ago.. last month it turned to “In Process”

Meanwhile when you click on the “Application Received”, it says that they started processing my application in November, 2021. It’s all confusing.

You should order GCMS notes for your dependants to see what is going on

You can call ircc and ask them about eligibility and background provided it is being processed here otherwise send a webform and ask if its being processed outside Canada
