Current AOR time is between 2 to 3 months. Stay strong brother!
Just an update on this in case it helps anyone else. I submitted an inquiry, and as of today (July 31), they (inland sponsorship office) are currently processing applications received before January 17th, 2020. Seems like processing times have been extended significantly.

Hello,

I'm sponsoring my wife under Family class and have a query regarding Additional Family Information IMM 5406:

Do we have to provide the sister-in law information as well under section c- Brother and sister?
Also want to know who all are the family members relevant to principal applicant whose information must be added with the application?

Hi All,

I have a question on part of the document checklist.

My wife (Canadian citizen) and I (American citizen) are currently living in the USA and doing an outland application, planning to move to Victoria, BC. The checklist says that she must provide proof that she will live in Canada with me once I receive my permanent residency approval. As current processing time is estimated to be at 12 months, and we don't plan to move until next summer, we don't have any concrete plans of where we will live, and my wife is just starting to reach out about job possibilities.

So what kind of proof would be acceptable? Her family all lives in BC if that matters.

Thanks!

Search the forum for "proof of intent to return," there are dozens of threads focussing on this with many examples.

If they couldn’t find you in their system, you will have that form response. Actually, they don’t know exactly what is happening. Here some people still updated applications from end of January https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/january-2020-inland-spousal-pr-owp.672032/page-45

Hi everyone,

I met my spouse last year July thru family proposal. I was supposed to go get married April this year because of covid had to postpone it. If I wanted to sponsor her to Canada she's in Sri Lanka. Can I do spousal sponsorship? Or conjugal sponsor?

Please advise.


Thank you,
Outland application conjugal sponsor as you are not living to together atm

Be extraordinarily careful with a conjugal sponsorship. Absent COVID restrictions, unless you are separated by immigration, legal, and other barriers, you will be refused. Just because of COVID flight cancellations does not make a relationship conjugal.

Hello,

I'm principal applicant and applying visa under Family class. I have a query in IMM 5406 under section A where it states that we have to provide information regarding our mother and father. As my father passed away in 2016 what information I could provide in that section and address information or do I need to leave it vacant?
