APRIL 2020 - INLAND Spousal Sponsorship

[Srivi]

I suggest you give them a call again and hopefully this time around you get to speak with a different agent. Sometimes, some of them just provide you with wrong information.

Will do, thanks!

Hi, can one of you tell me what this means?
Call centre automated message tells "your appln recd on Apr 14. We have not started processing yet. Your background check is being done. We do not need addln docs at this point. We do not need your medical. We do not need your finger prints. If further docs needed, we will ask (wordings to this effect)
I have not done biometrics in the past (was not a requirement in 2018 when I got my work permit). I have done RCMP and sent with my appln (I assume this has nothing to do with biometrics). I had done medical in 2018 and am pretty sure that will not hold good now.
Appreciate an explanation from one of you, forum mates. Thanks in advance!

No worries. It simply means your case is still in process. Currently, they don't need u to provide biometrics and medical results.

My sister-in-law has gotten her AOR status today, Her husband received the AOR email. From that AOR, I was able to find and link her PR application online. Please follow the Linking to MyCIC tab instruction on the PR excel tracker sheet if you are having trouble linking the application online. I was having trouble linking it online until I followed the excel sheet instructions.

IRCC is currently accepting biometric results if the applicant already had it done before providing that it is still valid. Medical exam will still be required as part of PR process. They will ask for medical request down the road likely to be last step required before issuing Final Decision status.

Hi Daniel, were they American addresses? I read that postal codes aren't mandatory for oversea outside of North america addresses. However, USA and Canada full addresses are mandatory.

Not really.

Hi all, gave biometrics today. Wondering, if IRCC will update receiving/approving biometrics or is it implied when we receive the receipt from Service Canada. Also, should we send a copy of receipt via webform? (I am guessing, no). Thanks!

My sister in law has gotten her OWP in the mail yesterday. We applied for her temporary SIN online and should get her SIN in the mail with 20 business days, Baby steps in a long process of getting her PR.

June applicant here with a question about the linked OWP. Is it normal that the receipt date of the OWP in GcKEY is earlier than the date the OWP+PR application was physically received at CPC Mississauga?

Yeah, It's apparently normal. They listed online that they received the OWP application before we actually mailed the application. ie: They received the PR/OWP application on the April 15 but the OWP online says they received it April 6th. It's bizarre.

thank you!! just wanted to double check that it was normal.

I have a question regarding the 2020 spousal tracker online. I noticed some have assigned a date for "Background check - We started processing". I assume this is not the same "background check" done for OWP? My sister in law has gotten her background check completed under her OWP application. I assume that another background check will be done for Spousal PR separately from OWP background check.
