Most straight forward Outland Spousal Sponsorship follow these process steps (the order of the steps may vary)
- Application received at IRCC Mississauga
- CIC Mississauga start processing application
- Receive Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR 1)
- Link Application to Online Account
- Upload Schedule A form
- Sponsor Approval and File transfer to VO
- VO starts processing PR application (AOR 2)
- Receive Request for Medical Exam
- Medical Exam @ IRCC Panel Physician Clinic
- Medical Exam Result
- Passport Request (PPR)
- Pick-up Permanent Residency Visa (PUM)
ts not unusual not to hear from IRCC for months after medical exam........review of eligibility and background check once completed the Visa Office will request for passport.........so it good to assume spousal sponsorship process completion takes 12 months.......which could help reduce your waiting stress.........relax.........its a wait game.
