    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...

    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 :)

    September 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    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...
