Correct. We had applied for visitor visa ( 3x ).
So you guys received ECOPR? I figure they don't send out PPR if the principal applicant is already in Canada on visitor visa. Can you let me know how this process works? I've read that they send out an PR portal email right?

Hey guys, I emailed LVO's email on Friday, and they replied today with "

Please be advised that the processing of your application is ongoing and your file is currently undergoing review by a migration officer. "

Does this mean anything, or could the wait still be a long way to go?

I'm a March 2020 applicant, last update was Aor on Jun. 3rd

Assalam Walikum everyone,

In sha Allah In Aug 2021 I will be married and ready to submit my wife's sponsorship application. I have few questions please help me.

1) Can someone share the link to get the forms and checklist required for the application? Is this application online or paper??

2) My wife has lived outside of Pakistan as well in 2-3 countries studied, worked for more than 6 months so Police certificates will be required for all countries at the time of applying? or a request will come later?

3) For medical I have heard that you can do upfront medical. Is this true? I am confused if we do medical upfront without UCI # of my wife? The only benefit is medical is valid for 1 year and sponsorship application timeline is 1 year as well.

4) after I apply my wife's sponsorship application, can I apply her visit visa? is it wise to do so? if yes what are the chances she can get a visit visa?

4) my PR is through PNP program and I am looking to change my province in Canada for job and to get close to my family? will this effect my wife's sponsorship application?

From what I've seen with other March 2020 applicant on this thread, some have received PPR and or Pre Arrival this month. Hoping for good news as I am also a March 2020 applicant. AOR2 was in April and submitted ADR last month. I am guessing you haven't received ADR yet?

When you receive PPR, it'll mention that if applicant is already in Canada you should inform them via webform. We did that plus email, and got response next day that we will be contacted by an office inside Canada. They sent a form asking for basic details, then created an account, where we had to sign a declaration we are inside Canada and upload a passport picture and confirm address.

They issued COPR two days later via virtual landing that we could download and sign. Also mentioned that we will receive PR card in mail once processing of card is complete.

Yeah, no adr request as of yet. On ECAS it shows they started processing the PR side on May 19, 2021. But the actual email sent to my wife was dated as June 3rd, 2021.

Hopefully good news to come to us soon lol. This wait has been torture.

Thanks a lot, appreciate the detailed information! Did you receive PPR via GCKEY?

Expect to wait at least 1 or 2 weeks for a reply and appointment will be a month later most likely.

Oh okay, i was just worried if they would call for an interview or anything at this point. I have heard pre arrival could mean that eligibility has been passed.
I haven’t been asked for any ADR and seems like our timeline is on the same track and seems like it is going by fast. (Don’t want to jinx it).
hope we both get our PPR soon!
I also hope we get PPR without any issues!

Alhamdulillah my brother got PPR today for his wife, he applied same time as me and we both received everything at same time uptil now. Inshallah I will receive soon too, maybe tomorrow!

I will post timeline below for anyone interested. The case went to LVO but Pre-Arrival email and PPR came from Warsaw, so it means at some point it was transferred. If you want quick turn out then you should pray that your case went to Warsaw lol.

Wow congrats to him. Also, did they request updated PCC from you? (Assuming it would’ve exceeded the time limit)

Has anyone here emailed LVO regarding PPR after receiving DM and waiting for several weeks or months? Did the VO respond and issue a PPR immediately? Wondering what's causing the delays between DM and PPR for some applicants...anyone with experience?
