IRCC agents over the phone are saying IRCC has been processing spouse applications, they have never halted it. it is just taking longer than normal.
Is anyone believing this?
 
I sent a webform to inquire about our application status last friday.
Today I got a response:

--Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

We have verified the sponsorship application and were unable to find information stating that you are the representative for the principal applicant.--

I dont get it I am the sponsor!!!!
It doesn't matter if you are the sponsor or not, if you haven't filled the "Use of Representative" form with your application, they will not disclose anything.

Btw, they are processing the application? I thought you were waiting on the AOR?
