    Did you speak to your wife about what's going on?

    Mind sharing the link? :)

    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...

    December 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    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...

    PR Portal - Proof of Relationship to Sponsor File Limits?

    It should be more than fine, or worst case they will ask for extra proofs. As far as I understand, all these proofs are required to make the case stronger and they are carefully inspected when there is not enough clear evidence that the relationship is real. I also had to figure out how to only...

    PR Portal - Proof of Relationship to Sponsor File Limits?

    Wait until you try to upload proof of visits - it was a fun quest combining all the tickets / bookings / other proofs from 10 different trips into some meaningful files and writing explanations to all of them :) The portal system (and 10 files per category) is weird, and figuring out how to...

    December 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    You have one application and you already linked it You can create trackers for both as they are different (sponsor's eligibility for the sponsor vs everything else for the PA)

    December 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    It is not. Moreover, it can be tricky and requires some patience - there's plenty of discussions about how to create it and how to "enter space after the last name and after the number of applicants" :) AFAIK the only actual difference is that PA will receive updates to the accounts instead of...

    December 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    Yes, and you can create tracker accounts for both PA and a sponsor (sponsor's acc will only show sponsor's eligibility tho) plus create a gckey and link the application there (some more data to daily look into and worry about :) )

    AOR and sponsor approval are received by a sponsor

    December 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    No, but this is a resubmition after refusal. So med is passed and valid until end of May, biometrics says "in progress", no BIL yet. Expecting sponsor approval, it's been a while

    September 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    We got married in Georgia last November, such a beautiful country! Also been in a LDR for 2+ years, I feel like I'm living in the airports: 30+ flights a year to be able to spend at least some time together while I'm working full time in the office in Canada. Stay strong, we all will get...

    Is this an AOR? and how long before can check application status?

    But let's be real: I doubt there are many people who ACTUALLY got some useful info from either account besides feeding their anxiety :) All the important steps are marked with emails (AOR, sponsor approval, BIL, medical request, eligibility, any additional request, final decision). The only...

    Is this an AOR? and how long before can check application status?

    I'd call IRCC and check with them what's wrong with the tracker account You don't need to, but it's just a nice thing to have. Essentially, all correspondence from IRCC will be stored there, plus it also has a status of every step of the application

    October 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    So I don't exactly understand this. Request is request, you can't just ignore it because you "have existing biometrics" If IRCC decide to accept what was submitted in the previous application (which might happen) - they will let you know / update status to "passed". If the letter was sent and...
