    July 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    I emailed the IRCC to ask about my photo and when to anticipate my PR Card. I was told that they are very delayed as they have reduced staffing due to Covid. I would get an email once my photo was approved and PR Card sent. I've been anticipating a late Feb card arrival at the earliest as a...

    July 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    I've received my eCoPR via the Virtual Landing process on Jan 5th but still haven't received my PR Card in the mail. Does anyone know how long that takes? Looking at the Virtual Landing PR Portal, it shows my photo as in review with IRCC but given I have my eCoPR already, I'm guessing that...

    Got my eCoPR yesterday (Jan 5th) via Virtual Landing Process. They are taking 3-4 weeks to process once you submit you photo etc on the Virtual Landing Portal.

    I don't think it could hurt to have a IRCC account. However, don't expect much other information as I haven't felt they update the status in a timely manner. My PR is much further along then than the IRCC site would suggest. I'm not sure what future utility the IRCC/QCKey account will have...

    July 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    Anyone familiar with the Virtual Landing PR Portal? I submitted yesterday, albeit, with a potential issue with my Photo. Curious how quickly they may respond with either approval or possibility rejecting the photo?

    July 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    The shop was very helpful in that they have never had an issue in the past and sent me the full resolution photo to try. I tried several times and adjusted the brightness multiple times but still got the same ambiguous message that it could be "Too Light or Too Dark". I submitted it anyway and...

    July 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    I've tried to edit my passport photo over a dozen times. The online PR Portal continues to say it Brightness: Your photo may be too bright or too dark. Pixel Range Requirements: Your photo does not have a pixel range between 1680x1200 and 4200x3000 pixels. I had the photo done at a...

    July 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    Looks like I received my PR approval as I received an email "IRCC Permanent Residence Confirmation Portal" for virtual landings. They asked a couple of confirming questions in a response email and I'm not awaiting the actual access to the Portal to complete the process. Hopefully that will...

    July 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    US Passport I'm assuming I still need to submit the photos, so the question is do I just send to NY or wait to hear back from Ottawa. The letter was not clear on what to do once I submit the webform informing them I'm in country.

    July 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    Thanks for the quick response. Curious what magically number I can call to reach the IRCC? I've attempted dozens of times and keep getting the same message, "...due to Afghanistan...we cannot transfer your call to an agent, try again later." On the PR situation with my travel, I thought the...

    July 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    I received an email this morning with steps required to issue my CoPR... So I now have 30-days to submit the required information which is all good. The Visa office they asked me to send to is in New York City however they give an option to request it moved to Ottawa if I'm in Canada and will...

    July 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    How bizarre - seems the process points you to leverage GCKey and you would expect updates to be current and to show progress along the way. It would certainly reduce the stress that everyone feels going through this and probably eliminate a ton of phone case to CIC. I guess I'll have to do...

    July 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    Out of idle curiosity, I decided to look at ECAS and to my surprise, it says "Decision Made". There is nothing new in GCKey aside from the Pre-Arrival Letter, but I'm assuming this is all good news. So now the big question is, when should I expect to learn what the Decision is? Not sure why...

    July 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    That was the same for me.... nothing for a couple of weeks and just got my pre-arrival letter for what that is worth I don't know. Plus, it seems there are plenty of PRs granted where a pre-arrival letter wasn't sent (or at least the spreadsheet wasn't updated which is more likely).

    July 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    I just received the "Pre-Arrival Letter" - based on the various tracking sheets, it seems this is pretty random and not indicative of when to expect next steps. Let me know if I should read anything else into this. Technically, I'm in Canada and I have no idea if their pre-arrival services are...

    July 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    Has anyone completed an application to get IMM1442 (Verification of Status) to be used for a Drivers License. I sense I'm better off just waiting on the PR as this form says the wait is up to 6-months. Seems rather ridiculous for a verification of your already in process PR app to take so long...

    July 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    Out of curiosity - Once they request your passport, how quickly is it returned? I will be traveling for the xmas holidays and will need it but also want to submit it as soon as requested, I'd rather travel after receiving my PR but I may not have a choice.

    So is mine but taking longer. Looked at the Jun and May apps and plenty of USA applications are still in process. I think it just comes down to the individual working on your file and the phase of the moon.
