PR application - Spouse to confirm physical presence in Canada

[jjj230718]

Hello,

I am the main applicant - my spouse is outside Canada. But at the time I submit the application, my spouse was in Canada visiting me but just after 1-2 days he went back and stay outside Canada until now.
I have already received email asking me to confirm my physical presence in Canada and received PR portal to upload photos & address,

However one day an IRCC officer called me and asked for my spouse physical presence in Canada - she said our PR application is now put on hold until my spouse and I confirm physical presence together in Canada. I am worried if this would affect our PR application as we haven't received the COPR yet- now I just got the PR portal.

Has anyone experienced such situation?

Thank you.

Once your spouse is back, you have to notify IRCC about that. Then you will be issued eCOPR followed by portal and finally PR cards.

Did you apply for inland sponsorship? That required your spouse to remain in Canada during sponsorship. A short trip is usually ok but not long periods of time. You are also required to update IRCC if there have been any changes in address for any applicant. your spouse needed to update their residency address (mailing address could also be updated but didn’t have to) when they left Canada for more than a short tip of 2-3 weeks.
