    **MISSISSAUGA PROCESSING** - Outland Spousal Applicants

    Ours took about 6 weeks from pre-arrival letter to DM/PPR, however that included a time delay from having to send in additional docs. So normally it would have been about 3 weeks.

    Yes it does, congrats! ECAS should change to "Decision Made" soon and once they issue the CoPR your GCkey will show "application approved".

    **MISSISSAUGA PROCESSING** - Outland Spousal Applicants

    Hi guys, my husband's CoPR arrived yesterday! We sent documents on March 16th. Technically, it arrived to us on Monday the 26th but we missed the FedEx delivery, and they needed a signature. They redelivered it yesterday, the 27th. 10 days turnaround time, if I count the first delivery attempt...

    ****JULY 2017***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    The blank space in between status updates is pretty common. Did you check messages in your GCkey? They may have sent a letter in your account asking for additional docs. It's possible that the "we need more docs" line is either an error or just referring to police certificate and Schedule A...

    **MISSISSAUGA PROCESSING** - Outland Spousal Applicants

    We sent in my husband's PPR documents on Friday, March 16, and according to FedEx return tracking, his CoPR is in transit and should arrive in a couple more days. Pretty quick turnaround for PPR. GCkey updated yesterday to "your application was approved". (Full timeline in signature below)

    **MISSISSAUGA PROCESSING** - Outland Spousal Applicants

    We're about to send in our PPR - mailing passport copy from USA to Ottawa. Has anyone here gone through the regular postal service to do it? I've seen on here that most people have used FedEx. But I'm wondering if we can go through the regular United States Postal Service, and if creating a...

    ****JULY 2017***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    The letter is your Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR), which means your application is complete and has begun processing. Next, your husband will receive a letter (or email, if he provided email address) inviting him to link his application to an online account - they'll provide instructions in...

    ****AUGUST 2017***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    He's from USA. His application stayed in Mississauga for the entire processing; it didn't get forwarded to his home country. Some cases stay in Mississauga for the whole process: both sponsor's app and PA's app. But we'll be sending his passport request to the US Visa office in Ottawa to receive...

    **MISSISSAUGA PROCESSING** - Outland Spousal Applicants

    I did not have a lot of evidence in our initial application, mostly because my husband and I had just decided in February of 2017 that we were going to move to Canada. I had wanted to move back for a long time, but we only recently started planning it. So at the time of our application, we...

    **MISSISSAUGA PROCESSING** - Outland Spousal Applicants

    @jeff198901 My additional docs (proof of intent to return) were confirmed as received 6 days after uploading to IRCC webform. Then it was 15 days after that to receive Decision Made for the principal applicant's Ecas status. So total of 3 weeks from time of submitting them to get DM. DM was just...

    ****OCTOBER 2017***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Yes, it could just be an error... I've seen a few posts today in different threads that all say that their status updates are showing incorrect updates, so it might be the system glitch. Keep checking your email just in case it is a request for documents. As for my proof, I included a statement...

    ****OCTOBER 2017***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    What stage are you at in your application timeline? It could be passport request if you're near the end of your process. Another possibility: some of us who are sponsors and are living outside Canada have received request for additional documentation that shows that the sponsor plans to return...

    ****OCTOBER 2017***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    It might just be a glitch - a bunch of us are experiencing similar problems in our status updates today. For example, some statuses have a completely blank line. So they're probably working on something on the site. Otherwise, it could just be that they went ahead and updated it to "reviewing...
