Hello everyone, is anyone having the same experience me which I have received email on January 28 that IRCC informed me my file has moved to NDVO, after a week I have called to ask where I should send updated PCC which they have asked and the Agent told me that my file is still at Sydney so, I told him that I did get email that my file has moved then he said this is special courier and will move to NDVO. what is special? why they are holding at Sydney NS?

It could easily take 20-25 Days for NDVO to acknowledge the receipt of arrival. and update the ECAS.
If the PA side still showing you In-Process, wait for it to change it to Application received and then back to In-progress (that will be considered as AOR2).

Then the waiting game starts.

Thank you all so much for your replies. I am happy to see at least some change in the status since I still have not been able to link to the GCKEY so i have not been able to see the overall changes.

Just Curious. Have you tried linking your application and failed to do so.? Please share the details of what you have tried. May be someone on the forum could help you link the application.

Cheers,

No she doesn’t have to return to her home country when she receives her PPR. She can send her passport to Ottawa.

I’m planning to visit my husband on TRV soon. I was wondering what questions the border officers will ask at the point of entry if one already has a spousal sponsorship application in progress. How did you guys do?

Wow. I have the same dates like you. I guess the special courier didn’t deliver yet

This is good. How can we make the TRV work while spousal application is in progress?

AOR 2 is considered as when it will change back to In-Process. Keep your fingers crossed, hopefully, it will change very soon.
I don't think so. Ours didn't change to "In process" at all. Ours changed to decision made after "Application received" status and we got the passport request on the same day. There were no extra lines added until "Decision made". I think it is more of choice of whose is looking at the application.

My wife came to Canada on a TRV recently while our sponsorship PR application is under process. There were almost no questions asked. Toronto Pearson Intl. airport was our port of Entry. All she was asked was how many days is she going to be in Canada apart from the regular "what are you bringing to Canada with you etc. questions". We put the same number of days that we put in TRV application. And its all automatic. No human interaction.
