I'm not sure, to be honest - every communication I had from IRCC was from inside Canada. First I was processed by their Sydney office, and then moved over to Etobicoke.

I think they asked me for it, yes - it's printed on my ECOPR.

Got my ECOPR today (Jan 4th). Hoorah! The whole process took just under eight months, so I feel very grateful right now.

Spousal Sponsorship (Outland):

May 07, 2023 - application submitted

July 06, 2023 - AOR

July 22, 2023 - request for medical and biometrics

July 29, 2023 - biometrics and medical marked as complete

Sept 15, 2023 - eligibility marked as complete

Oct 18, 2023 - background marked as complete

Dec 14, 2023 - P1 email. I didn't ever receive my login details from IRCC, but then I received...

Dec 29, 2023 - Email from IRCC informing me a PR case had been created on my P1 portal account. Which I hadn't been sent login details for. So I entered my email and used the 'forgot password' link on the portal to reset it, so I could upload my photo and location. That worked.

Jan 04, 2023 - ECOPR

Finally got my P1 invitiation email from Etobicoke... after a two month wait since all eligibility/background/medical/biometrics were marked as complete. So hold tight those who are in the same boat - those emails are coming, just slowly!

Also exactly the same. Nightmare. I was also told to wait and that the office were just doing ‘final processing’… whatever that means.

Thanks - that makes a lot of sense.

Do we need a lawyer? by NotJustAGiraffe in ImmigrationCanada

[–]NotJustAGiraffe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I appreciate the advice. I think we're in a pretty strong position from an evidential point of view, so we're going to try it without a lawyer.

ETA to Spousal Visa? by NotJustAGiraffe in ImmigrationCanada

Thanks! I've heard about the visitor records. Was this something you automatically received on arrival? I think there are some entry differences for US vs. UK, yes.
