    The timeline of 2023 Spouse sponsorship application from Quebec

    Not sure if this is relevant to anyone who is following this thread, but I applied Quebec Inland for Spousal Sponsorship on November 9, 2023. I had a big update on my application yesterday and today. GCKey's latest status for my application is "Final Decision" and my Background check was finally...

    November 2023 **inland** spousal applications

    Latest update was on Sept 13 when ircc extended my medical results through 2026. But no updates since then tho :( The update on the ircc website for processing time indicates there’s about 800 people in front of me and final decision will still take about 2 months.

    US-American transgender high school student, what are my options?

    First, hello! I'm sure my response will seem a little tl;dr but hopefully there will be some insights that will help you make your decisions on how to proceed. I'm by no means an expert, but I'm happy to share what I've learned from my own situation. Storytime: I'm from the US myself, and I was...

    CSQ spouse sponsorship inland timeline 2024

    I think technically they want you to stay put in Canada for the whole duration from application submission all the way to the point where you receive your PR Card. Honestly, if you just stay put you won't have any problems, but like, as long as you have a Canadian address and you're not away...

    Background Check is still "In Process" but they won't flip that to complete until after Portal 1 is received.

    CSQ spouse sponsorship inland timeline 2024

    Thanks for asking! YES! I got an update on Sept 13 -- they extended my medical results, which means I do not have to retake the medical exam (whew!). Since the COPR date and the Medical Expiry date need to be in alignment, this is a GREAT sign that P1/Final Decision/Approval is incoming. It's...

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    Processing time for outland was 3-4 years last time I checked. That might have changed slightly due to the switch up in prioritization for outland vs inland processing, but I doubt the change would be that much more expedient. I have been seeing various outland applications getting approved...

    November 2023 **inland** spousal applications

    No PR for me yet. I was contacted on July 10 and asked to provide the remaining amount for my Right to Permanent Residency Fee (I had been 200% sure that I had paid that in full upfront, but I wasn't gonna fight them on it). So I paid the amount they request ($85) immediately, and they...

    CSQ spouse sponsorship inland timeline 2024

    Hey! c: I received a request for a payment of $85 to complete my Right to Permanent Residence fee (and/or Biometric fee? It wasn't super clear) on July 10 -- which was odd to me because I had been 200% sure I had paid for everything up front, but I didn't want to delay further, so I paid it...

    Nov 9, 2023 here. No P1 yet, but I did get the request for the Right To Permanent Residency Fee on July 10, 2025. As far as I can tell, P1 usually follows within 6-8 weeks after that, so hopefully I will be getting some news soonish lol. Full timeline is in my signature.

    Happy to hear it was helpful! Mmm I didn't receive an AOR for my Work Permit. You can not work in Canada as a foreigner without having the physical copy of your approved Work Permit c:

    Quebecers! How Are You Dealing With This Spousal Sponsorship Plot Twist? Roll for Initiative…

    So I'm quite far along in the process (full timeline in my signature), but one thing I found of interest was within 24hrs of QC shutting down the Spousal stream I ended up with an email in my inbox asking for the remainder of my Right to Permanent Residence fee -- which, I had paid the right to...

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    I don't know much about the PEQ-W pathway, but I think if you've made it to the point where you're just waiting on your card, there's probably no need to reach out to IRCC about your updated marital/relationship status. Once your PR card arrives, you can just fill out the Family class paperwork...

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    Ok perf. Whew! I was worried for you for a sec there! lol. It sounds like you and your girlfriend are still living together and have been since 2024. So your relationship would be considered common-law and you can apply for PR for her under the common-law sponsorship stream in the family class...

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    When did you apply? And did you file for Quebec PR in the Spousal class as single? If you did and you're at the stage where you're already waiting on your card in the family-class stream, and you're not married, and you weren't common-law.... mmmm I would hazard a guess that there's probably...

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    canuck above me cut to the chase, lol, but I'll provide a little bit more context. In order to be considered common-law for immigration purposes, you have to have been cohabitating in a conjugal relationship for at least 12 full consecutive months. So if you just moved in together for the first...

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    You can't apply for the Ontario stream right now if your sponsor is currently residing in Quebec. If your sponsor is currently residing in Quebec, then you must apply through the Quebec stream -- and it will certainly take longer, even if you update your application later with a change of...

    Quebec Spousal Sponsorship Process Questions

    I'm no expert or anything, so take my recommendation with a grain of salt, but from my understanding Outland applications are based on where you intend to live after you formally land in the province (aka after you receive your PR approval). But your sponsor needs to have a presence/residence in...
