NOVEMBER 2019 OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP
- Thread starter tanjohn
- Start date
Friends what are we going to do, we are missing our spouse and our families, we are stuck here and they are also stuck there, now we won't be able to be with them and they can't be with us either. This is a very critical time that we all need to be with our spouse just to know how they are doing, but we are away from them and this pandemic disease is killing a lot of poeple so can we stay here and be reading from the internet what's going on around the world. My husband always goes to work, how can i take this light, immigration should consider us and give us temporal resident Visa to be with our spouse and return to continue the process.
What do think friends, we can ideas, and think about something we can do for immigration minister or whoever responsible to hear our voices.

Some local visa offices are working remotely in time of covid due to the lockdown as imposed by their respective government. I just hope they prioritize working on spousal applications since the aim is "family reunification". My guess is, since they are looking at the 12-month processing of spousal apps (which may not be accurate anymore), also not counting the limited number of workforce, they continue processing other categories to come to Canada because the expected processing is shorter. I think I saw posts, although in small numbers, work permits, and trvs being approved when I personally think due to the pandemic, is not applicable because of travel restrictions (non-essential). Many companies are closed.
I agree that spouses/ the family need to be together especially in this difficult time. I pray that this coronavirus pandemic be cured, and everything goes back to normal. This is truly saddening especially the number of cases continues to go up.
My wife is in BOGOTÁ, COLOMBIA, and we received the Pre-arrival letter on March 25th, and the Medical exam request on March 26th. Of course Colombia has been in total lockdown and my wife has not been able to reach any of the 3 doctors to schedule the exam. I know a lot of us are in this same situation obviously, but this is beyond frustrating and disheartening I have to say.
your wife in standart situetion. I received Pre-A and DM 13 march...still waiting
the attention for processing needs to be diverted to spousal applications. TRV’s, express entry is a privilege.
Absolutely, make draft the request letter and send us here for signature and that IRCC might support us in this situation.
Curious all,
I have been on track.and the last correspondence was 1 st week of March. and nothing since. I also have looked at the spread sheet. and seems like the average last update was around the 2nd week of March. not just for my particular Sheet But for all sheets. I know the VO's dont report to us. but anyone with any insight? I wonder? IF they are shutdown or just operating so slowly. will this have and impact on peoples timelines in relation to the time alloted to cross the border once approved. OR if your nearing expiry will they extend your time alloted etc.. I know for they typical person theirs still plenty of time But, the logistics and planning are starting to run out for most of us. (no need to comment on the Covid 19 portion Im sure were all aware of that impact world wide). Like watching paint dry...-?.
