    Passport Delivered at CPC Ottawa and Waiting for COPR ----- come in here, keep each other updated.

    Same thing for us yesterday! We're outland US spousal sponsorship, received PPR on March 12th, sent passport copy to CPC Ottawa the next day and hadn't heard anything since. Yesterday GCKEY updated from 75% to 100% complete, "Application Approved September 11". Fingers crossed COPR comes soon...

    Files transferred to NYVO - New York Visa Office

    Yeah it seems like this VO is hit or miss? There's not that much info about it but I definitely wouldn't worry about the AOR2 thing - it seems pretty common to not miss that regardless of VO! I'm not sure if ours was so quick because it was mostly processed at Mississauga? We had a few criminal...

    Files transferred to NYVO - New York Visa Office

    Hi - my app was sent to NYVO on Jan 30th, after originally being sent to Mississauga VO. We got our pre arrival letter and then decision made on ECAS a week or so ago. We didn’t receive any AOR2 from either of the two visa offices so stay hopeful!!

    What to write on the back of family photos, besides date and place?

    We included about 4 pics per page and just hand wrote month/year, and a one liner about each pic underneath them, i.e. “Celebrating my sister’s wedding in Alberta with family and friends (Catherine and Ben)”

    October 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    Yes I think I remember talking to you about that briefly! I also didn’t get an option to pay when I first filed for them. They sent me an email to tell me that my husband (not a citizen) is as not eligible to request notes and that he had to sign a document to give me permission, along with a...

    October 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    I think it was changed on Saturday but I didn’t check on Sunday. I did look right before on Friday though and it still said In Process so it was over the weekend either way!

    October 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    Yes I was surprised it was so fast - especially because I’ve read about the NYVO being quite slow and we had a couple criminal hiccups (I think that might be why it was transferred). Now to wait for PPR and actually land!

    New York Visa office NYVO

    Just got our pre arrival services letter today! Application received on October 24th, transferred from Mississauga VO to New York on January 30th. ECAS changed from Application Received to In Process, so I'm wondering if this is just effectively AOR2, but at least it's news.

    The same thing happened to me a week ago! I received the confirmation email and record # as well, so I'm assuming it went through?

    October 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    My husband (USA) and I applied outland in October. He has completed/passed medical and his biometrics have been received. Our file was transferred to Mississauga VO on December 13th, but we just received an email that his file is now being moved to the New York VO. My understanding is that most...

    October 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    When I first linked my application to gckey that line said something like "We will let you know when we begin processing your background check." We got notice our app was moved to the Mississauga VO office on Dec 13th, and sometime between then and now it was changed to "processing background...

    October 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    Thanks for replying! That makes me optimistic, I wasn’t sure if the criminal paperwork would slow things down. Our file was transferred to Mississauga on dec 13th, so maybe we will get news soon!

    Can you share more about the criminal hiccup? We are SA Canadian and PA American too and have a very similar timeline to you! My husband as a record, 1 non conviction for flight from an officer that he has had expunged even though he went through pretrial intervention, and one misdemeanour...

    JULY 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    You will be fine, they don't care about blood pressure - they're only looking for specific diseases (TB, hepatitis, syphilis). My husband has an actual heart condition (has had two open heart surgeries) and the doctor said his beat was very abnormal, we got notice he passed within 24 hrs of IRCC...
