have received my copr and single entry visa this year jan 2021 with single status.
May 2021: I got married in may and updated the same to the ircc. They asked me to submit the required documents for my spouse.I am on H1B - but my partner has no valid H1 status.
June 14 2021: We uploaded all the forms, marriage certificate, payment, pcc etc using web form. We also wrote a detailed cover letter describing why we had to get married now etc.
June 23 2021: We got an acknowledgment that
“ We are pleased to confirm reception of the document(s).
We have forwarded them to the responsible office for their consideration.
July 13th 2021: since no reply from ircc, we sent an upfront medical for my spouse and attached our financials just to expedite the process. My employer in the USA agreed to transfer me to Toronto so i have the additional pressure of giving them my timeline. I mentioned the same in the webform as well.
July 23rd 2021: acknowledgement of the uploaded documents and generic reply again.
Note: they have not asked me to send my previous copr or passport to cancel that yet.
Is anyone else in a similar situation? When we spoke to a lawyer she said this process will take about 2-3 months to get your single entry visas and copr. Is that an accurate timeline for 2021 ? Did anyone get any other info or AOR for adding spouse when you send them these documents. Please let me know.
