Hi everyone,
We submitted our inland common law sponsorship in late October, and the sponsor just received an email saying "This confirms that your application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class has been received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada" together with the file number. I searched online about when to submit work permit after PR application, and often saw information like "you can apply for work permit once you receive AOR". But when I actually try to go through the work permit application, it required that I "applied for permanent residence and was found eligible (first stage approval)". I'm not sure whether the email I received qualifies me as having first stage approval.
My questions are:
1. does the email the sponsor received constitute an AOR?
2. can the principal applicant apply for open work permit now?
Thanks!
Grey
