Spousal sponsorship

[jmd.online2021]

Hi,

I submitted my application for my Common Law partner outside Canada on August 11th 2026, I am Canadian Citizen and I am living outside canada with my common law partner. I was able to link my application to GC key on 15 October and I recived a request on 21st October for Updated PCC from Indonesia which was expiring on October 24th but haven't recived AOR. Is this normal as I can see most of the August Submissions have recived AOR?

Today, we noticed an update on our spousal sponsorship application.

Latest update — Final decision: October 16, 2026

“Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.”

The overall application status still says that IRCC is processing our application.

All four assessment stages—biometrics, medical exam, eligibility, and background check—are now marked as Completed. The tracker also shows a COPR document number and an expiry date of August 31, 2027, but we haven't received any P1 or P2 emails or the e-COPR yet.

Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Does the “Final decision” update dated October 16, 2026, along with the COPR details and all assessment stages marked as completed, mean that the application has been approved?

For those who have gone through this process, how long did you wait to receive your P1 email, P2 email, and e-COPR after seeing similar updates?

Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
