Hi everyone,
I filed my husband's outland application in Jun 2019 as a Canadian citizen. After that, I had our baby in late 2019 and came to Pakistan. We submitted our baby's Canadian birth certificate to ircc too. Because of a family emergency, I had to stay here and then the pandemic began in 2020, so I didn't travel back to Canada. I don't want to go back without my husband with me but our application isn't moving. Do I need to inform ircc that I'm not in Canada or can I travel with my husband somehow? If anyone has any idea, please share. Thanks.
You should inform IRCC of your current address. You may be asked to show evidence of your intent to return to Canada. You will need passport for your child, should apply as soon as possible. Did you inform IRCC of the birth of your child - I mean with respect to your sponsorship app - i.e. the birth certificate that shows him as the father?
At minimum showing you have a child and have been living together since late 2019 would perhaps support the genuineness of the marriage - and if you'd done earlier, possible it would have moved things along a bit before now (although impossible to say).
The only ways for you to travel with your husband are for him to get his passport request/COPR or for him to get a TRV.
Chances of approval for the TRV might be low but zero if you don't apply.
You should probably order GCMS notes to try to find out if there are flagged issues.
