February 2026-Outland spousal sponsorship

[jacob1234]

By today, it seems like IRCC officers just took a quick look at the February files. Do you agree?

IRCC have released new application tracker yesterday.. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...s/application/application-status-tracker.html .. This tracker worked for me and showed all the updates/stages completed on the file..

For those whose spousal sponsorship application was transferred to the New York visa office, did you receive an interview request, or was your application processed without an interview? Also, how long after receiving the transfer letter did you get your next update? My application was transferred to the New York office, and I’m wondering what to expect next. Thank you!

Still waiting for PPR request. My spouse is outside of Canada. How long does it take for PPR after this update?

Mostly, it is within 2-7 business days after that.. In rare cases, it may take longer than 7 days. Same thing happened with my friend. He also applied around mid-Feb..
