You should contact your visa office for an update on your application. Is your background check started yet ?

Yes. It has been going on for a while now.

My Husband and I applied Oct 2nd, 2017.
File being processed since Dec 8th, 2017.
We just recieved Pre-Arrival Letter today.

Does anyone have an idea about the timeline. When did everyone else recieve pre-arrival letters and how long did it take for PPR after getting it

Thanks, any response will be helpful

We received pre arrival letter on July 23, 2018 and my husband got his PPR on Aug 14, 2018. Hopefully it will be soon for you too. Wish you all the best.

Hi guys,
May 2017 applicant here. They asked for additional documents in May and we also recieved the pre arrival email shortly after. Nothing after that. Medical is also expired. Today the sponsor recieved the original nikah nama submitted with the application. Anyone else recieved their documents back? How long after that did you recieve any notifications?

They don't need original documents anymore we had also received our original nikah nama back. That was way ahead in the application process.

What exactly do they check in eligibility?

What exactly do they check in eligibility?

They make sure if the relationship is genuine or fake.

Alright ! I guess they check the genuineness, from the photos, chats, other things that we provided to them with the application, correct ?

Im going to ask the same question as someone else here as well,

Is there anyone updating the 2018 spreadsheet?

What exactly do they check in eligibility?

In eligibility, they check whether the sponsor actually meets the requirements to sponsor his/her spouse. Like, is he a PR or Canadian National, working, paying taxes etc.

Genuineness of marriage is a later step.

A person who is eligible to sponsor his/her wife may or may not be able to proof whether his/her marriage is genuine. If eligibility is passed, "Decision Made" begins mentioning under the "Sponsorship Application Status" heading in ECAS, when the sponsor checks the application status by putting his/her own information (rather than putting his/her principal applicant's information) in the portal.

So, checking eligibility is a different thing than checking the genuineness of marriage.

You are saying partially correct as there are eligibility checks on both sponsor and principal applicant, the eligibility of the principal applicant means if he or she is Eligible to be sponsored under family class ( spousal sponsorship), that is done by checking the geniuses of the relationship.
