Hi, I received call from "Private Number". We can not call back. So you just need to wait that's the only way.

Hello All,
Jut trying to reach out to people who have spouse outland.
I called IRCC today and the representative responded to some of my concerns fairly well.

1. Every PA who have a spouse outland will get a call from SC based on their list (No such thing as PA will not get a call if your spouse is outland). IRCC sends the list based on BIL issued, it is Service Canada who creates priority.

2. Make sure you have a most recent address and contact number on IRCC list as they keep all the records (In my case they had all the addresses from student time to most recent ones so the agent was confused- Don't know why woud they )

3. They had my several friends number in the file too as I provided those numbers during different applications ( i.e, Student visa, work permit, Permanent residence)

4. Any one who have PR applications in process, they can still apply for Spouse Open Work permit as these two applications goes to two different departments, so there is no harm in filing the SOWP while PR application is in progress.


Hope those information helps to those waiting for the call and have spouse outland.

We have seen the list sent out is not based on date BIL was issued. You have people from February and March still waiting and people with November BIL receiving a call.

I think if you're based in Toronto or Edmonton you have a higher chance receiving a call compared to certain cities it seems to move really slow.

I am from Etobicoke too with BIL 29th July, but still waiting for the call.
and it is funny they say it is based on BIL but almost everyone now gets a call within 2 or 3 weeks.
Lets hope everyone gets a call sooner than later.
