    December 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    Congratulations!! What's the PA country if you don't mind sharing? I see it's pretty common that eligibility and bgc switch to passed at the same time before PPR for Outland offices

    December 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    Here's a sheet For me, no update since a ghost update on March 17 (BGC went to N/A in GCKey)

    December 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    As far as I understand, it means a part of BGC (info sharing / criminality) is done

    Confused!!

    To be fair, the fact that sponsorship questions bring relationship concerns is a huge red flag by itself. If you are ready to let the loved one go because of some issues with immigration documents, you should probably self-evaluate your "eligibility" and how genuine the relationship is before...

    December 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    Just got a ghost update in the tracker. No visible changes there, but in GCKey background check now says "not applicable". Crossing my fingers that this is a good sign

    Financial support

    Your goal is to essentially present a realistic story of your relationships, and ALL documents that are not not mandatory are only meant to be a support of this story. Just look at your case from an officer's prospective - how do you tell that it's real? It's all about how you explain things and...

    December 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    As far as I understand, the next step is eligibility review which is done by a PA local VO. Last time for us it happened about 4.5 months after the application had been submitted, hopefully now it's faster. The reason for rejection last time was that we were not legally married (and were not...

    Biometrics done and marked "completed": Feb 23 Sponsor approval letter: Feb 25 As we already have med passed (from the previously rejected application) - now I feel like the long waiting begins :)

    AFAIK overseas VOs might be slower with correspondence / status updates. Chances are, you have already passed certain steps and just don't know about it yet, and then you will suddenly receive the news :)

    December 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    In Serbia my wife got a receipt with confirmation. Haven't check the gckey yet, but last time (unsuccessful application because of the incorrect class) it appeared on tracker within ~10 days. So likely speed depends on the location

    Visitor visa → inland spousal sponsorship plan (PR sponsor)

    Also, to sponsor her you will need to show that you are established in Canada, have a job (or another legal source of income) etc. You just landed, so there's no notice of assessment from CRA for you yet. To be eligible as a sponsor, you essentially need to demonstrate you're capable of taking...

    Visitor visa → inland spousal sponsorship plan (PR sponsor)

    This is the tricky part. For TRV, the officers need strong evidence that she is not going to overstay and use it as a ground for something else, which she obviously will do. Look at this from an officer's point of view: a young lady with no real ties with her home country applies for a visitor's...
