Canada Outland spouse PR: Pre-Arrival received — What is the normal window for Passport Request (PPR) right now?
Hello everyone,
I am tracking my husband’s Outland Spousal Sponsorship application and wanted to see what the current timeline trends look like for the Passport Request (PPR). I am a PR living in Canada, and my husband is in India.
Our application has moved incredibly fast, and we are currently on the final step:
Application Filed: February 11
AOR: 1st week of April
Medical & Biometrics Completed: Mid-April
Biometrics Updated & Sponsor Approval: April 20
Pre-Arrival Services (GCKey & Email): June 5
According to our PR tracker, Sponsor Eligibility and Applicant Eligibility are both marked as completed. The only remaining step is the Background Check, which is currently processing.
I have a few doubts and would love to get your opinions or recent experiences:
Normal Window for PPR: For those who received their Pre-Arrival email recently, what was the average waiting time before you got the actual Passport Request (PPR)?
Rejection Risks: Does receiving the Pre-Arrival services email mean our eligibility/relationship check is 100% passed? Are there still chances for further rejection at this stage?
Background Check Status: Is it normal for the tracker to show the background check still processing for a few weeks after the pre-arrival letter comes in?
Webform: Should I raise an IRCC Webform to ask for an update, or is it better to just leave the file alone?
I know our timeline is already very fast for an applicant in India, but the waiting game at the finish line is tough! Thank you so much for any insights.
