There is nothing you can do except to pray to God. Canada immigration system seems targeted at frustrating some set of nationals

joy2dworld4eva:
No I have not
The only correspondence I received was AOR and that took two months after my file was received.
Is there something I can do ?

Have you done Biometric to Canada before? They ought to have called you to come for Biometric

joy2dworld4eva:
I am tired already. My application was received on Sept 16th and I got AOR on Nov 25th. Since then till now, I haven't received any update. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks a bunch bro

Eggovic:
You'll get it this week

Hello guys, we need updates. Let's keep the forum going o. Today makes it 60 days since I submitted my application after two rejections. AOR is what am expecting from them

methodman:
Hello everyone, It's been so quiet here lately, please tell us if you have any movement or updates.
I found this new link for tracking Application status for spousal sponsorship only: https://prt-srp.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/register.

Congratulations. Share your timeline

slimghost:
Just received my pre arrival mail

No. They treat Dual intentions separately.

Awas:
are we saying if you are rejected on the visitors visa platform that and you have a profile on open spouse work permit that they will reject that to.

Thanks for the breakdown. May God be with you.

Kurukuru:
I posted this to enlighten this forum on why some people get their application decision faster. It is not that the new portal is faster. The current processing time for visitor visa is still around 78 days. What happens is that IRCC is now using an Advanced Data Analytic to process visas. When applications are submitted now, they will be processed by the machine, the machine will sort the applications to either complex or none complex applications. If you have been approved Canada visa before, the system will categorise it as non-complex and it will be passed to the VO as passing the eligibility moving the file over other files on the queue. If you submit your application with limited supporting document, and without any letter of explanation, the system will categorise or as non-complex with failed eligibility. Then the VO will recheck it and give the human decision. If your file is categorised as complex, it will be left on the queue for the VO to attend normally. This is the reason when somebody applied for the Spousal Open Work Permit and the application is taking a long time. The person applied for the visitors visa after then and the visitor visa was approved. The person got approval of the Spousal Work Permit shortly after that. It was the system that passed the Open Work Permit eligibility based on the approval of the visitors visa.

That's good. Hopefully by next month they would request for your passport

Obiorah8:
Good morning beautiful people. Does anyone knows if they have starter responding to people with old application.
Mine is since 2019, everything is ok until covid, since then no response. The last message my wife got frm immigration Ghana is our application is in query. I’m married to a Canadian yet is very difficult.
She raise webform yet no response. Pls help me with email to contact canada immigration, our application is in Ghana. Thanks

That's not good. Just put your issue in prayers. Let us hope they get to you for your PPR next month

Funjay:
My case is peculiar. If not that I have a good job and I am not that desperate to leave, I can imagine the frustration it could have brought.

Got married Jan. 2020, we were both widows with kids from our late spouses. After pressure from my wife, I decided to submit application for me and my 2 kids in July 2020.

Application: July 2020
AOR: January 28th 2021
Medicals: April 2021
Medical passed May 3rd 2021
Correspondence 1, interview request.
October 21, interview done at IOM in Ikeja and updated as completed.
Pre arrival: October 28

Till now, nothing. My application page on IRCC remains same. I checked for status on another platform.and I saw decision made probably since October.
We had a new baby since September 1st 2021 and I have not seen her. I don't know what else to do.

Planning to put in for visiting by February if nothing comes up before then.

My V.O is Accra, seems they have lots of backlog there.

Application status on my IRCC online account reads we are processing your application and we will send you a message once final decision has been made.

Background check, we are processing
Review of eligibility- we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements, this has not changed since like forever.

I don't like the idea of GCMS note that takes almost 3months, it proves nothing to me and I don't like to contact any M.P.

Any other useful suggestions?

Any new development? Pls let us share our timelines with others. Thanks.

Please house I have a question to ask.

There is an application with a medical status that says : You passed the medical exam

After 5 days it changed to:


You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes

Please has anyone experienced this before and what could this mean ?

Share your timeline with us first, so as to be able to diagnose the problem. Thanks.

megastu:
What is the dierence between Medical Received and Medical Passed? Is one applicable to upront medicals while the other to Medical requested?

Medical passed is the last stage of medical process and it simply means one is medically fit to be admitted into Canada.

Medical upfront is not allowed for spouse sponsorship.

I hope your questions are answered.

Congratulations , bro. But you didn't share your timeline with us! However, glad to know you had a smooth journey. Cheers !!

LANDING GIST!

I just landed in Canada few hours ago via Ethopian airlines from Lagos Airport.

I registered on arrive can, switch health, and printed all documents before arriving Lagos airport.
The guy who pushed my trolley attempted to scam me 7500 for yellow card, amongst other scams, but I remembered narrations on nairaland so I didn’t fall for any. I didn’t spend any money during the journey, but you can give tips as the Spirit leads.

After showing my passport, I passed my bags through the machine just near the Lagos airport door. I then went straight to Ethiopian airlines check-in counter admist the crazy queue. Those check-in staff are not smiling, be prepared with your documents make them nor delay you.
My bags didn’t exceed the limit & I suggest you go at least 4-5 hours before the flight just incase.

After about 4 more security checks, I boarded & arrived addis ababa some hours later where I was able to use the free airport wifi to update loved ones. Ethiopian airlines was ok, nothing bad to say. It was a long flight & having to seat for so long in such confined space does a number on the body.

Arrived Toronto Pearson quite early in the morning & I think that plays a role in how relaxed the airport & staff were as I wasn’t subjected to much questioning. Having all documents on hand in paper really helps. Make sure you’re organized & calm, your documents may speak for you & questions were minimal to none in my case. Don’t be afraid to ask polite questions when looking for directions or clarity.

Since I registered with switch health, I was directed to a shorter queue for arrival covid test which was the last stop before finally exiting the airport. I didn’t pay for the test & I wasn’t told anything about quarantine. I am fully vaccinated & wore my mask & sanitized at all times cos I don’t want a positive covid test result. It didn’t really snow much at the time I arrived, however it is cold here.

Congratulations. You are almost through. Hopefully by February they would ask for your passport.

I submitted my Application on the 3rd of December 2021 but haven't heard from them.

Na wa for Canada o! Sponsorship in UK and the rest of Europe is an average of 3 months. I wonder why Canada is this wicked! In contrast, Express entry is 6 months while sponsorship is 12months, is Express entry far more important than spouse sponsorship!? Yet they will be saying they need immigrants but are making processing time a long frustrating one- what an irony

I must say, Nigeria's Bureaucracy is 100% efficient than that of Canada

onyealid:
Hi all, please I and my 3 other friends used an agent for a visa processing to Canada, he told us the visa has been approved but he did not tell us the type of visa either visit or work permit. Now he said because one of us is almost due to give birth that it is better to wait after delivery so we all can go for the visa collection in group. I don’t know if he is right or just buying time

How much did you pay him individually for the processing? And did you all go for biometric data capturing?

ditha:
Hi Olori, My husband's visit visa got refused. I would like to chat with you to hear the steps you are taking for the reapplication

Sorry! She should reapply. Nevertheless, when did you apply for the visa and how long does it take them to give their final decision?

adveert002:
AOR

You should get it in February. It takes 60 days from the day they received it

adveert002:
Happy new year fellow applicants
Please who else applied for PR via spouse sponsorship in December.

Let's know how manyo of us are waiting for their response

What response are you waiting from them?

They supposed to have even asked you to come for Medical long before December.
Anyways, hopefully they will get to you in January

Canada is just keeping spouses apart unreasonably
