Thanks to u once again.
Wow, still fresh, May 2020.
Yeah, normal processing time for spousal sponsorship takes a year, but in some cases like mine, 6 or 7 months. Now, u av to clothe urself with patience & faith. All d best, Bro.

Meanwhile, did u submit d application here or ur wife in Canada submitted it?
Thanks bro
Yes am kind of new still haha. Like Almost 4 months now so still waiting
My wife submitted it there in Canada.
Am actually living in UAE at the moment but originally from Ghana.
During the submission, we were supposed to attach PCC from both Ghana and UAE here but we didn’t know, we knew we were supposed to attach just your current country you resides in so I attached just the one from UAE .... So am kind of confused and worried that they may send my application back.
What do you think?

Oh okay I figured you intend to write 2021..::
And as I said am still waiting for AOR1. I am May 2020 applicant.
During Your processing did they requested for additional documents??
Because it took more than a year for the processing right??
AOR was in August 26, 2019, & medical request was on February 4, 2020.
Shortly thereafter, on February 6, 2020, pre-arrival letter came & on February 20, 2020 I was told to pay my Right for Permanent Residence fee within 30 days as decision will be made within this period.
Medicals was done on February 26, 2020 & Right for Permanent Residence fee was paid on March 4, 2020. Then on March 12, 2020, decision was made, & I was approved, & on March 16, 2020, passport request was sent to me.
Due to the temporary closure of visa centers, I couldn't submit my passport, which is why I had to send it to Accra on July 7, 2020, when I was tired of waiting for ours in Nigeria to resume operations. It got to VFS global on July 20, 2020, dispatched to IRCC same day.
On July 30, 2020, it was received by VFS global, & was dispatched to courier same day, & I got it yesterday, August 5, 2020, from DHL.

So in a nutshell, decision made & passport request was within 7 months, but the coronavirus pandemic is responsible for getting my visa stamped 4 months after passport request.

Oh, I see. Well, based on IRCC regulations, they may return your application if it is incomplete & the missing document is essential to the processing. However, I'll suggest you guys contact the visa office via mail where your wife submitted it, and ask them what can be done.
During my process, I contact my visa office alot & got satisfactory responses.

We tried so many contacting them through web form but the answers was that I need to get the AOR 1 before I can add additional documents. Because I need the UCI number.
After all this long waiting and again if they return it will be sad. Let’s hope they request for it.
