still waiting to hear from immigration

[sivarsan]

HI all. I applied for outland spousal sponsorship in march 2020. My wife has since arrived to canada as a visitor and we are living together with my wife on visitor visa. I have yet get my sponsor approval, I received nothing from immigration. When contacted MP, immigration apparently told him I need to withdraw my outland sponsorship and apply inland, if not nothing will change. When I contacte immigration they are saying my waiting time is normal. I am so confused, I get different information. Its frustrating. Can some one help me please? Do I have to withdraw my outland application and apply for inland? What do I do? I feel like our lives are on hold.

Just try to order GCMS note, it will tell you more about your application. Have you got you UCI number?

Many things to consider.
It may have been beneficial to maintain your outland sponsorship while you patiently wait. Since your wife has a visitor visa she can travel to visit within the guidelines and surely you can do the same. When you contacted IRCC, they may not be aware of any changes to your application until you make that change and the MP can only inquire and pass on the information.

Now that you have chosen a different path, the benefit is you are together, so be prepared to have your lives on hold a little longer.

No need to refile as inland especially since your application has been in process for so long. Would suggest ordering GCMS notes in order to see what is going on with your application. Did you update your application when your wife entered Canada?

GCMS notes is the best option to see what stage the application is at. Your processing time is not unusual especially since you applied right as covid hit.
