So if I understand, you had 2 visa's printed? First time your visa was issued in Moscow, and second time in Warsaw?
Spousal sponsorship
- Thread starter Leon
- Start date
I am in a similar situation. My wife is from Russia, but right before the conflict broke out, we traveled to a foreign country to meet. We are now stuck here since she is afraid to go home. Our application is a few months behind yours, but had already been transferred to Warsaw.
Question - did you receive a reply from the Warsaw visa office (other than the automated reply), or did they just speed things up as you assume, without replying to you?
Yes. The first time our visas/coprs were short-tenor and it was height of covid, was not possible for us to move before they expired. At that time they had procedures to ask to issue new or extend, which we did and the second set were issued. (I do not know if that can be done now)
We didn't get any response from Warsaw. It could be a coincidence, but the PPR came so soon after my email, I can't be sure. Though, the Russian invasion could have spurred them into action on the Russian/Ukranian files.
Thanks. Interestingly, I emailed Warsaw last week after I first saw your post, and they replied back almost instantly saying that "they had not yet received our application, but expect to receive it soon". Nothing else. This seemed like a positive sign to me.
I had already received my SA at that time, and it said that the application was being transferred to Warsaw, but I guess it was still in process of being transferred. I called IRCC a few days later and they confirmed that it had just been transferred to Warsaw that very day.
So I emailed the Warsaw office again, now that I know they have the application, and they haven't replied at all. I'm wondering if they may somehow accelerate the processing anyway, just like they potentially did in your case, without actually replying to us.
My wife has been protesting the conflict and legitimately faces risk of imprisonment if she goes back. Until then we are stranded.

2) which one is better paper or online
3) is there a way to get work visa , while PR is under process for spouse (for a citizen) and what's the processing time

1) Approximately 12 months.
2) I don't know.
3) Not through the PR application. To qualify for a work permit, your wife would need to get a job offer from an employer in Canada and that employer would need to get an approved LMIA so that she can apply for a closed work permit. Processing times for the LMIA is 4-6 months. Processing time for the work permit after the LMIA is approved is several more months.
MP; has been giving me same response for more than 6months.
Gcms notes has not arrived. Is there any other way to know why this is taking forever?
Since she arrived Canada, we updated her address to a Canadian one.. could this have affected the application?
She arrived as a visitor but she has an Outland application. So do you know what else I can do? Application almost 2yrs
Just webform them and ask them you want to change your application to inland application and here what they say......
If it works out, then you can apply for open work permit for he/she
If it doesn't work then you can try to renew the visitors visa and until they make a decision, you will be on implied status and if none of these works out then the person must return back until they make a decision on the outland sponsorship....!!
