    Same sex conjugal partner PR application refused - 2nd time

    Not exactly at the same boat with you (and hopefully won't get there), but this is my game plan in case of refusal. We also applied as conjugal, and got PFL a week ago with something like "I don't see a barrier for you to live together for a consecutive year and apply as common-law". I sent the...

    Is it? I thought at this point it's just the reflection of what happened: they started reviewing eligibility, sent the PFL and received our response :) I (the sponsor) am in Ontario, GTA. So the destination city is Toronto, we're planning to move closer to DT as soon as my fiance is here

    Did you see all these updates in tracker or GC? Did you receive a pre-arrival after passing the eligibility? As for the PPR, not sure about now, but VOs would send them in batches before, so I assume it's a matter of days / weeks

    Good news! It's interesting that you received this request just now - I thought most people get it right after sponsor's approval. But back in the days it was a sign of an upcoming decision: basically "everything else has been finalized, just need the exam". Hope it works the same way for you!!

    Does whatever happens in the outland VOs not reflect in the tracker? Initially I got the sponsors approval letter from Sydney as well as all the requests for the PA, but after July there's no update. The requests last week came from Vienna VO (PA is in Europe), but still no updates in the tracker

    Ohhhh I was under the impression that PFL basically means the final stage and fast approval or refuse after the docs are submitted. Crazy

    Also, the funny thing is - no updates on the tracker whatsoever. We basically received a PFL, submitted the response, got auto acknowledgements from the VO and IRCC, and the tracker be like: last updated July 11 :D

    - Vienna VO - They asked to reply via Web form which PA did - got two acknowledgements right away: from the visa office and IRCC in general

    There was no question about marriage (which is impossible as country of nationality and residence is different for PA, which is explained in the initial application). The clarification was asked specifically about living together for a year and applying as common-law

    I mean... I've seen a lot of "not enough evidence" discussions and requests We're the opposite: all the evidence of the world, I've been living between continents for the past 1.5 years, public Instagram accounts with a bunch of photos and reels together, traveling to multiple countries. And...

    PA just got an email from the officer stating that there are concerns that we meet conjugal partnership criteria as there's no barrier for us to live together Basically, it is "you guys spend too much time together, why don't you just love together and apply as common-law"? Never heard of cases...

    Just a fun exercise to do on immitracker: - choose the status "bg check in progress" - sort by application submission date - scroll all the way down to look for the oldest active apps with BG verification still in progress - enjoy the list of countries very different from what is normally seen...

    I think it's more about the number of applicants and hence more "standard" docs for IRCC. Everything is pretty known, all the formats and authorities to provide the documents, all common tricks and sources of misrepresentation etc. And here we are - applicants with less "default" documents...

    We're here with you, though applied 1.5 months after. Looking forward to seeing your updates as it seems like it's pretty consistent for non-Indian applicants (BG verification for around 6-8 months)

    Anybody here not from India waiting for the background verification? :) I checked immitracker and figured that India and UK are the fastest to get BG clearance and hence PPR, for the rest it takes apx 6-8 months to pass the verification.
