Hello, New to the forum. I am a Permanent Resident of Canada, came to India for wedding and got stranded due to COVID19. We got married and since we had all the documents ready for our Outland Spousal Application, we decided to courier the application to CPC Sydney, NS which was delivered on July 23, 2020. I wanted to check if mailing the spousal application while stuck in India would be an issue due to which it would be rejected? I continue to work remotely for my Canadian employer and continue to pay rent and taxes in Canada while I am stranded in India. Any information someone could provide would be helpful. I tried contacting IRCC but until they open the application packet and start processing, they can't seem to provide update not could let me know if they received my application since it is nor in the system yet. Thanks.

No issues, by the time they'll reach your file, you'll be back. Don't need to send them anything on the web form. Informing them will create unnecessary delays. You are on vacation, so just enjoy your time with your spouse.

I am in the same boat early MAY . ONLY 1 guy got AOR1 so far and he is March early applicant. May relax stop worrying , it may take a month or 2 be4 our turn comes up. They are also facing shortage of staff and are hiring as I read in the post here.

I found this may be 1 of the reasons of delays in getting AORs:_

The P.E.I. IRCC office re-opened last year and currently employs two intake officers who take in citizenship or permanent residency applications, making sure they are complete and putting them into the system.

But those officers do not process the applications themselves. Processing is done at the Case Processing Centre in Sydney, N.S.. There are currently 10 intake officers across the Atlantic provinces.

Hi all ! I submitted application for my husband in Early May. We haven't yet received AOR. It's Outland application. We are worried. Has anyone yet received AOR who applied in April/May ?

Well if they look at 2files a month, then surely will take long times as per present speed. I heard only 2 staff in IO Sydney, check my other post where a link is written by me.

So if we were to estimate based on March spreadsheet: 90 apps at a rate of 2/month would take approx 1.5 years per month.
So August apps should wait 9 years for AOR at current rate.

In contrary many Inland March have received bio-metric request or the email urging them to pay the bio-metric fess. I thought we would see more movements for March outland as IRCC started processing new apps but then for almost 2 weeks only 3 applicants got AOR.
