2nd pre arrival letter ( some get it)Medical marked to 'Completed' - yesterday, Dec 11. Signature updated.
Only Background verification remains 'in progress' - everything else is complete. What are the next updates to look forward to now?
Despite things moving at a steady speed, there is still no certainty when exactly it will be done. I can understand planning travel is important, I too have plans but the best approach would be to proceed with caution and wait for official completion of things like background and passport request. I have heard passport request too takes a bit of time with the back and forth. If you can wait or if you can get more assurance, then take that time - you will be more relieved to travel with the CoPR in your hand.Spousal Sponsorship 2025 Timeline

Background [In Progress]
Pre-Arrival: Dec 4, 2025
At this time only background check is pending. Looking at July and August applicants, this timeline seems faster. Will IRCC clear the applications in queue or we expect early PPR? As per GPT and immitracker, Bcg average time is 40-50 days once in progress, should we be hopeful as I have plans to travel together with PA from home country, what is the ideal date I should choose?
Thanks! Does IRCC follow the queue (i.e. first applied first served?)Despite things moving at a steady speed, there is still no certainty when exactly it will be done.

Also @adwani1994 - you're an Oct 2025 applicant and I'm a Sep 2025 applicant and our timelines are different but still the same, waiting for the same next updates and as you can see there is no fixed protocol about how IRCC prioritizes or processes each application. Our timelines are a perfect example. I received no updates during the entire month of November but then the last week or so has been quite eventful. Best to wait and hope for the best. As things stand, looks like it is moving at a decent pace so lets hope it continues like this.Thanks! Does IRCC follow the queue (i.e. first applied first served?)
Hopefully, it will! I will book once the FD is announced. Just looking for tentative timeline.

Tracker or GCkey or Emailwhere are you people getting status screenshot?
Your number will be known to people of the WhatsApp group but other than that, no other information will be shared UNLESS you share it yourself.It's mid-December, fellow Sep 2025 applicants!
Some Jul 2025 outlanders have started receiving their Background Completed updates and Final Decisions. Aug 2025 outlanders are pretty much non-existent (on this forum atleast) so no idea there and quite a few of us Sep 2025 outlanders here (and as per immitracker) are awaiting some of the final steps. Exciting!
How are things over on the WhatsApp group for Sep 2025 applicants? I haven't joined any groups because I'd like to stay anonymous. Is there a way to stay anonymous on these WhatsApp groups without sharing any personal information? Probably not but do enlighten me.
Hopefully a productive week ahead for all, in terms of application progress and updates (before the holiday season takes over).
