Let's make sure our voices and stories are heard, there is a rally between 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm today in different cities of Canada to highlight our plight. An MP is set to speak at the venue in Vancouver. If you can join it, please do so. You can find more details about it on this Facebook group: Canada Spousal Sponsorship Applicants Affected by COVID-19

There are protests today in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Edmonton and Vancouver. If some of you is free please join. IRCC ignoring spousal applications is unbearable now specially when everything is now back to normal gradually since June 2020. At least IRCC should be transparent enough to explain what is happening and why they are not working on spousal applications. As in contrary they say they are still processing as much as possible but even with that we should have seen some movement for late Feb. and March applicants at least by now. For 5 months now the reply anyone receive when inquiring about apps status is that they are still working on Feb. apps. Com'on if this was the case we would have seen some movement unless in Feb. they have received zillion apps to finish processing.

Thanks 4 this update and news. AND please keep us all updated. Also I agree with you that we can't see any 1 got AOR, and they say they are working??? I don't think so :( NO ONE is working on spousal as we can prove .NO one got AOR since almost 5 months . It is very much disappointing. This will some how affect total processing times.

A member in March out land group got AOR1 yesterday August 15th, 2020. While some of March out land group members said they managed to receive Temporary Application numbers after calling IRCC agents. Seems that the ball has started rolling in IRCC. Hope soon we all see movements.

How do you call ? If you dont have any appliocation number, you cannot even talk to someone.

They said they talked to an agent and the agent asked for some basic info like name of Applicant, name of Sponsor, etc. This way the agent was able to provide the Temporary Number in case the application was opened and they start the initial check of course.
