I meant if you choose to actually move to applicant's country indefinitely until sponsorship process is done.
My question is, is that allowed? I mean why should I only be allowed to see my wife 3X a year for a month each? It is cost prohibitive, risky during Covid, and very inconvenient and it violates my human right to be with my wife.
I feel very discouraged with long distance love, especially when the government are between us and deciding our faith.
Good luck everyone! Soon...oneday...someday ...we'll reunited

Of course as long as you are Citizen of Canada , as far as I read here no problems BUT if a PR does it then problems

Hi Aniavi,

I am in very similar situation as you are.
I am in India currently with my spouse and I dont feel safe to travel back to Canada yet.

I am in India working remotely for my employer and paying taxes from my salary regularly.
I am planning to submit the outland spouse application from here only as I dont feel safe to travel back to Canada yet.
I was wondering how did you courier the application ? Through FedEx ? And to which address you sent the application ? Did you use the Dorchester address that is specified for courier purpose in Document Checklist ?

Please met me know the address you sent the application to.

Thank you !
Hi,

I sent the documents to 49 Dorchester St, Sydney, NS B1P 5Z2, Canada.
I saw the following response from IRCC on their official Twitter handle to a similar situation as mine. “If you are outside Canada on a temporary basis due to Covid-19, but Canada is your principal country of residence, you could include a letter of explanation to clarify your situation. Decisions are made by highly trained migration officers who carefully and consistently assess each application equally. The officers take into consideration all circumstances presented to them by the applicant.” Seems encouraging and makes me hopeful.

I called ircc today and they replied we are still processing applications submitted before February 12.
Then how come people who applied in March/April are claiming that they received AOR. I don't know what's happening I really feel disheartened staying away from my spouse with such a level of uncertainty

Phone agents are unreliable in this question.

She needs to be a PR be4 you get anything at all , I asked Blue X already, they won't recognize our wives until they become a PR here,
BUT you MUST declare yourself as MARRIED in the Income TAX filing as I did, may be it makes a diff! But we cannot lie that we R married
