My journey is not a pleasant one but I thank God that I weathered it. I submitted in Oct 2019 and no response until January 2021. Between January 2021 and March same year I submitted information and additional documents twice. One was updated in February and the request made in March that I submitted on the 8th of March 2021 was claimed not to have received in October when I made enquiries.I was asked to resend which I did within days. On the 27th of November they replied that received and updated. They asked for another information on the 10th of January 2022. and I sent it on the 14 th only for them to reply again on the 31st of January that they received and file updated. This prompted the message you responded to here. I pray no one here experience this kind of delay.
We thank God for all..its so sad applications are delayed when a spouse is already a PR holder. Tunde I will appreciate if you reach out to me on akimabubakar@yahoo.com

Can we use new tracking system to check our app status. I tried several times but not working for me or it’s for regular spousal sponsorship only

You should use Family/Spouse. You’re not an In-Canada protected person. Are you?
Thanks for reply. No i'm not. but my wife included me in the same application as a family member. and the application number i have received starts with G.
Also my wife did not go through any sponsor validation steps, financial... etc
