After getting PR card by applicant , if applicant & sponsor(Canadian Citizen) start living together outside Canada , Does the time which they spend together outside Canada count or not in order to maintain time requirement of 3 years for citizenship?
No, you have to be inside Canada to be eligible for citizenship, even if you are already a PR card holder. It has to be at least 1,095 days or 3 years within 5 years.

Actually, I sent an email again last June 26, naka queue pa rin for review.. sobrang bagal nila ngayon. Halos parang wala pa nag PPR sa mga Filipino applicants.. mag 10months na application namin hindi pa rin nag start ang background check ng husband ko. Yung pre-arrival letter mag5months na nya nareceive after nun nKa queue lang for review application ng husband ko.

To receive a pre-arrival invitation from IRCC is a positive thing. Based on the forums i have read so far, it only means your principal applicant is eligible for PR. I guess your PPR is on its way soon. Me and my husband are still struggling for this waiting game. However, we are still looking forward for good news this month. Anyways, we are still within the processing times. We pray that we all get positive feedbacks soon and be with our family as early as expected.

Good to hear that you received your pre-arrival invitation last month being a december applicant. Many have received it already even those who have filed later than ours. I was wondering why we havent received that yet. :-(

I got the same reply from MVO... actually I emailed them twice, the first one was in April and the other one last June 26. :( It seems that they haven’t started yet the Background check of my husband’s application. This is so stressful :(
I find it more helpful if you go to MP, they will follow up your application on your behalf.. I was on a 12 months mark and when I asked for there help it was like a week and voila passport request
June 23,2017 applicant husband will be arriving Canada on July 12,2018

What is MP? I need my husband here for our 8-month old twins.. I am thinking of applying him a TRV while waiting for PPR.. don’t know if this is a wise idea.. If in September there’s still no upate, we will celebrate our twins 1st bday in the Philippines just to be with their dad.

Member of Parliament. You should go to your local MP and ask some help.

I checked gckey acc and it says "we are processing your background check, we will send you a message if we need more information". Does anyone know how long will it take to finish bcg?
