Hi,
Inland spousal sponsorship application submitted on June 18th.
Eligibility, biometrics and medical are updated as completed in August in PR tracker and received Pre-arrival letter on August 30th.
GCKey login still shows eligibility check as in Progress. Is this normal?
Background check is in progress since then.
VO is Mississauga. Did anyone with Mississauga office get recent updates on background check?
same as yours. stuck at bg check,
submitted on 19th june.

I received the same email yesterday, and today there's a COPR number on the tracker.
Might be same for you since we pretty much have the same timeline so far

In your response to the first portal email did they tell you which office will be handling the confirmation?

The attached letter said Etobicoke. Not sure if that is the actual VO.

Regards
this is the secondary office. Main office is Mississauga, after the sponsorship process, they will transfer to the secondary office to handle your PR card etc

Question for Portal1 email (Spousal PR Inland): For the original entry date, if the applicant previously came to Canada as a visitor in 2016 and left in 10 days, and then came back again as a student in 2021 and now is in the process to get PR, which one will count? The only one as a student or visitor long ago?

They asked for original and I gave them original, when I entered as a visitor for a day or so in 1987. Most recent entry was a different line.

Stealing the format from penacare to add my own dates, some of them very similar. Got some questions about linking to GCKey, the COPR document number, the Approved in Principle letter and the finalization portal if anyone knows the answers.

-Applied: June 28, 2023
-Sponsor Received AOR: August 18, 2023
-Linked the Application to GCKey: Never was able to do this. The webpage says it can't find the application and to contact them for problems. I've filled out the webform to contact them and it just says my information was added to my application and it's never actually linked to the GCKey account.
-Medical Exam Instruction Letter: August 23, 2023
-Biometrics Instruction Letter: August 24, 2023
-Eligibility Marked Completed in PR Tracker: September 11, 2023
-Biometrics completed: September 12, 2023
-Biometrics enrolment listed in GC portal: September 12, 2023
-Pre-Arrival Services Letter: September 12, 2023
-Medical Exam completed: September 14, 2023
-Medical Exam Marked Completed in PR Tracker: September 17, 2023
-Sponsor "meets eligibility requirements" letter: October 5, 2023
-Applicant "meets eligibility requirements" letter: October 5, 2023
-Background Verification Completed in PR Tracker: November 24, 2023
-Request for biometrics payment: November 29, 2023
-Biometrics payment confirmed: December 3, 2023
-"Ready for finalization" email received (1st portal?): December 6, 2023
-Replied with requested information: December 6, 2023
-Created PR Tracker Account: December 15, 2023 (didn't know this was a thing, should've read this thread earlier!)

So as it stands, the PR Tracker says Biometrics, Medical Exam, Eligibility and Background Verification are all completed. The application status is still "in progress" and I have "0 task(s)." I have a COPR document number in the PR Tracker, but as I just signed up for that today, I don't know when that was added or how relevant that is. It expires about a year from my medical exam, so possibly I've had that number since mid-September? There's no info besides the document number, expiry date and my passport info.

I've seen reference here to AIP, "Approval in Principle"? And the exact day penacare got AIP, we got our "meets eligibility requirements" letters. Are those the same thing? Does the AIP actually say "approved in principle"?

Haven't gotten any response at all to the "ready for finalization" email, starting to wonder if I did that right. I just replied to that email. I don't think I have any portal otherwise that I can enter information into, but that they'll reply to my email with the login for the portal? (Which is different from the portal I originally applied through, at prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca?)
