Anyone here applied for spousal TRV before receiving AOR ?
Could you please give me details as to what information I need to provide for dual intent, as my spouse is not working in my home country. Also what documents do we attach to prove we have applied for PR as we don't have application number & UCI yet

How to track the outland sponsor application? I've got the application number and I also have the UCI number. I couldn't able to find my application here https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?app=ecas&lang=en
Any response will be appreciated.
that one doesnt seem to work
i use this: https://ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login
and this: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html using the GCKey login

What province? Every other province its around 12 months total. If it's Quebec, its guestimated at 39 months total

There is no need to look at the estimates for the QC cases at all. In one of the groups I seldom monitor, during this January, there were at least 3 Quebec cases completed all within 12 months. Others drag for almost two years already.

Someone has ideas why PR tracker shows eligibility and background check completed on January 31, but GC key shows eligibility and background check and final decision in progress..
Thanks

No, but it's always like that. I believe that GcKey may not update eligibility and background to complete until after PPR or COPR issuance. Most however see the date of "Final Decision".

Have your background in gckey was ever in "Not Applicable" state?

No, it shows ‘ we are processing your background check
And final décision shows your application is in process

I understand it does right now. But before your latest updates was it ever in Not Applicable state?
I'm asking because some reported a correlation between it switching from N/a back to in progress close to the finalization of the application... However this is not something to be a relied upon with confidence.

In my case background check was ‘ we are processing background check ‘ when they started. Before show-not started.

Hello everyone,

Could anyone please tell me if there is a difference in processing time for inland and outland spousal sponsorship in the following case?

Sponsor: Canadian citizen
Spouse: US citizen

Also is the process any faster for the spouse who is a US citizen?

Thank you
