    Hey all - Just a quick update on our situation. We received our PPR on April 15. A this stage it asks you to submit your passport if you are outside of Canada or, if your in Canada, not to submit anything as you will be landed virtually. A couple of days after PPR we actually moved to Canada...

    Just to update, last week we got our biometrics request, police certificate request (you need a request to get a police certificate from Japan) and sponsor approval - BAM! Our application has been transferred to Manila VO and I am hoping the next few steps will happen soon. We leave to Canada in...

    We got biometrics request! Finally our application has taken a step forward. Hopefully it's the start of the fast updates everyone seems to point out happens after a while. It's still in Sydney, I pressume. After the AOR, this biometrics update is all we've gotten. This new tool is still just...

    Hey guys, it has been a while since I last posted. After 4 months of not hearing from IRCC today I checked, and there are still no news. Still stuck at AOR. Just saying whomever is processing our application has a flare for suspense - not cool.

    If you have a middle name, try adding it. That was the issue with mine. Good luck.

    Great to hear things are moving :cool: I am hoping whatever agent processed your file turns his/her attention to ours... we still haven't heard back anything since the AOR in November. Even getting Sponsor and Applicant approval would be so helpful. In Ontario my wife can apply for OHIP by...

    JUNE 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    So I found the new portal, what an improvement! Seems like the guessing game to see if the site is going to load or send us back to the homepage after login, is no longer a thing. I logged into the site and saw he address on file was an old address from when we used to live in Canada! I...

    JUNE 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    This week's updates spark joy. I'm still waiting for whatever comes after AOR, but updates seem to come in batches - maybe we'll get something in the next day or two? Regardless, we're likely to keep our moving date for this April, even if it we need to use a tourist visa to enter while...

    I also think a bit more communication on their side would save them a ton of inquiries. I'm sure there are many areas of improvement, but two stand out for me: First, there should be a true "Acknowledgment of Receipt" where they do just that: acknowledge they received the application. The AOR...

    Got the AOR today. Yay! :D Application was received on June 17, meaning 141 days wait for AOR. I feel like we were the group of people at the airport that got chosen for an “additional screening”… No biometrics yet, but at least I can go back to the waiting room with some assurance that the...

    Congrats to all who are receiving your PPR! :cool: By the way, is there a time limit to land in Canada / expiry date for the visa? Curious on the timelines you get at the end of the process.
