September 2023 SPOUSAL PR **OUTLAND** Sponsorship

[divya khurana]

Hello sir, my spousal PR file is in process. I submitted my file on 21 Feb 2024. my biometrics were done on 10-April 2024 but I haven't received my medical request yet. What does this mean?

I think its is better for you to post this question in this page - "February 2024 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship" , cause this page is for those who applied on September, Thank you

Hi guys,

Two things that I am wondering if I should raise a webform for to come to the attention of the Case officer. PA file is currently with the Singapore VO, Bio and meds completed and stuck at BGC and Eligibility in progress since mid-Jan 2024.

- I am planning to visit the PA (outside Canada) for 5 weeks in June. It’s been too long without her, I know Sponsor’s (PR) shouldn’t travel but.. also travelled to her once in Jan for 4 weeks (before I knew of the rule)

- Provide a bank statement of our Joint account that obviously has way more history and could be put on an official bank letterhead. Initially the account was only about 2-3 weeks old and not much history, also wasn’t like an official letterhead although it had all the info and the bank officially sealed it too.

Question is if it’s a good idea, maybe it’ll help? and an added bonus is things might move forward? Would you have done it too?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Yes, it’s a good idea.
We had also ordered GCMs notes twice.
then we raised 2 Webforms.

Did you try getting GCMS notes? It seems too long to not have any new updates at this length of time.

Hi guys,
My file was reopened in September 2023(due to a fault in the previous processing). IRCC said that even though my file was reopened it would still be considered as a new file and all processes would start again. Medical were completed and uploaded end of September 2023. After that there was radio silence for a couple of months.
Ordered GCMS in January 2024 which said Eligibility, Criminality and Security not yet started. Also the notes mention file was awaiting transfer to Delhi VO. When we contacted IRCC in the months of March/April, they mentioned that since my file was being processed in New Delhi, they couldn’t give me much information. Fast forward to today, when I called IRCC the agent said that my file is now being processed at Sydney and there has been no new update but according to the agent it is in process and there is nothing I can do at this point other than wait. Has anyone come across a situation like this? This entire process has me worried and anxious.
Also I had completed biometrics for a visitor record last year which was used for the Spousal application too (tracker shows biometrics completed). But agent mentioned the rules has changed and now we have to do a separate biometrics for the PR application, but I haven’t received any request for it.

No, I did not do that. Doing now, have to wait 30 days for a reply. I feel puzzled and annoyed.

Neither good or bad. It's always a requirement to submit a document that is NOT expired. "We are reviewing the additional documents you provided." means they are now looking into the newly submitted document. Your background check might get cleared soon if it goes well. IRCC would most of the time ask for a renewed document if it goes past expiration.

Thank you for the response. I received a pre-arrival service letter today. Is that to say the application is all good?
