Spousal sponsorship timeline

[Denny U.]

My background stayed not applicable for 22 months and then just changed to in progress in febuary and has been like that since then. Same with eligibility they both went in progress together on gckey before the tracker went down. So I’m just hoping and praying because the visa office is nothing to write home about

22 months is a long time to wait just for the status to change. On the bright side, since both background and eligibility are finally in progress, they are at least actively reviewing your file now.


Is your sponsor already living in Canada (Quebec), or are they waiting somewhere else?

They are in Canada. While I am in Nigeria. Waiting for the day Accra will remember my file

I will be keeping you in my prayers, may God bless you. I haven't seen my family in a long time either, so I know exactly how tough this separation is. Let’s put our trust in the Almighty, for He is great. Stay strong!

I submitted my spouse sponsorship application in July 2024. Today I received a request to submit Form IMM5669 and an in-depth resume covering the period since age 18.

While in India, my spouse held two jobs simultaneously for a period of time. We've included the more relevant one in the background information, but I'm unsure whether we're required to disclose the second (overlapping) job as well, or if it's acceptable to just list the roles held during that period without listing both employers separately.

My concern is that adding the second job might prompt follow-up questions we're not prepared for — but I also don't want to leave out something that's supposed to be disclosed.

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? Should overlapping/concurrent employment both be listed on the IMM5669, even if one was more minor or short-term? Any insight would be appreciated — we're overthinking this a bit and want to get it right.

It’s really strange that they’re asking for this after 25 months! Since they’re specifically requesting more detailed information now, I personally wouldn’t leave anything out. I think it would be better to disclose both jobs and explain that they overlapped, rather than risk an omission being considered misrepresentation later on.
