Hi,
My spouse-to-be is a Canadian PR holder since last year. I have an active EE profile but my CRS score is 435 as compared to the high cutoff going on right now.
Hence, when I marry her, how can she sponsor me for my PR?
How many points will be gained in my overall score if she is able to sponsor me successfully?
Can she sponsor me as soon as we get married?
What is the average time taken for PR through spousal sponsorship?

Zero points.

As soon as you have the marriage certificate.

Posted processing time is one year.

You can't. PRs are required to live in Canada throughout the sponsorship process. A few short trips of a few weeks are allowed but anything more risks the app.
what if the person still continues to meets is PR obligations (recently got PR renewed) and decides to travel for a few months?

Thanks.

As my profile is active, if I do not get my profile in the draw/ITA after marriage, does this affect sponsorship in any way? In other words, is it required for me to get an ITA for my wife to sponsor me?

Again, PRs are required to live in Canada for the entire process. If IRCC found out that you were out of Canada for a few months, the app would likely be refused.

Your EE profile has nothing to do with a spousal sponsorship app.

Hi there hoping someone can provide me with some insight . I initially sent the spousal sponsorship PR package to the CIC Mississauga office around May 28th . After sending it i realized 2 weeks later that i had not included the OWP fees with the application so I contacted the CIC customer service where there advised me that I should send a new OWP form with he fees to the processing center in Edmonton. I have not received any AOR or received the PR application back because of the missing fees.(i saw other ppl saying they send it back to you are missing any fees.) My visitors visa has ended as of today, should I be applying for restoration of status, or does the new OWP I sent to Edmonton give me implied status. What about when I have to return the PR application ? Will the new OWP sent to Edmonton give me implied status? I do not want to get caught up being out of status please help

Hello All,
I would like to know how successful the spousal sponsorship is and its timeframe.
I have a CRS of 453 but due to the high cutoff want to remove my family and apply alone for express entry,, this will give me a CRS of 455, and ITA should be gotten in about a month's time...
However, I want to be sure of the timeframe/success rate of the sponsorship path. Also, can my family visit Canada during the application period as the have valid tourist VISA

The problem is that i hve finished all even the medical examination and i wont get viza without doing the biometric its taking to long
Me as well, I finished my medical in February and even file transfer after 8 months waiting in Sydney. I don’t think they forgot about biometrics , I guess it will be sent just later. Who knows maybe even towards the end of the process.

Or maybe we should call Cic to see if they attached the recipient to application
