Yes, this can be normal in some protected person and permanent residence applications.
When the principal applicant receives an eCOPR before their overseas spouse or dependent children, it does not automatically mean there is a problem. Even though the applications are linked, family members outside Canada are often processed separately and may have:
*Different application numbers
*Different UCI numbers
*Separate security, background, and admissibility checks
*Processing through a different visa office abroad
How ever there is NO dedicated portal such as GCKey or IRCC specifically for the principal applicant to monitor the spouse's or child's application.
If your spouse and minor child were included as dependants on your protected person application and were recognized as protected persons as part of the process, then their situation is different from someone who is simply being sponsored later as a family member. Which one yours?
Hi thanks for your reply ..I am the protected person..my child no, since he is american citizen but he is with me in canada and my spouse is outside canada applicatin
In this scenario, it is normal for family members to have their own UCIs and application numbers. It is also possible for your PR application to be finalized before your spouse's overseas application.
As for tracking your spouse's application, many overseas dependent applications do not have the same visibility as the principal applicant's file. Often, the spouse receives updates directly from the visa office by email. If your spouse has an application number and UCI, but not every protected-person dependent file can be linked or tracked online.
