September 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

[hotsalsa]

Did you get the notification via email?

Yes, received an email on PA's email ID saying they have sent a new update/message to the IRCC account. So I logged into PA's GCKey account and found the BIL letter in the inbox there. Have gone ahead and booked the biometric appointment.

Meanwhile, no updates or changes on any of our trackers yet (and I have heard that the trackers are anyway late to reflect new updates).

Biometrics: Completed
Medical exam: In progress (complete examination today, waiting for the result)
Eligibility: Not started
Background verification: In progress (just changed today)

Sponsor's Tracker also updated today Dec 1. But have no idea what it was.

@narayanjha not sure - In my case, I (the sponsor) am the representative but the email still arrived on principal applicant's email address - maybe because the application is linked to PA's GCKey account which is the inbox where the BIL arrives. Be rest assured, one way or the other, you will receive your BIL soon. It's about time! Good luck!

Hi All

I received BIL for spouse sponsorship application on Nov 26th and on Nov 25th biometrics were given for visitor visa application. Will that be reused or should I give them again for PR application? I see mixed responses on this. On UCI I see biometric number on both the applications.
