****October 2018**** INLAND SPOUSE SPONSORSHIP

[Betabr]

Hi,

I have sent an application for PR for my wife on Oct 4th and received on Oct 9th in Canada Class.

Received AOR on 26th October, 2018. I was able to link PR application, Cannot link my work permit application.

Please help.

I tried to link my PR app to GCkey and it didnt work. ‍

i sent the webform to correct an error on one of my application forms... because i selected "common-law relationship " but mine is "spouse" so i sent them the webform and they emailed me back saying: "they have already forwarded my information to responsible office.. they will contact me if they need further information.. blah blah blah.... " so i was thinking what? i didnt have AOR how you can forward my inforamtion to office if no one has opened my application yet?

Hahahahahaha good question!! If you dont have app number yet they will do nothing. I don't think they fix this kind od mistakes with webform. In my opinion either they will ignore the mistake or send it back or ask you to send another form. Last option would make more sense.

They received ours on October 11. We ended up doing it ourselves and not using a representative. My partner also applied for an OWP, so it would be really nice if they are processing applications faster.

So you will receive AOR without delay. Sometimes representatives dont send updates that fast.
I hope she will have her WP soon.

Thanks! We hope so too. I think he's starting to go a little nuts not working.

We're just paranoid that we forgot a signature somewhere (even though we went through the completed application several times). . I hope the rest of your application goes smoothly. It seems like they're doing medical requests relatively quickly as well.

Thanks! I know what it is to be here without work.. :/
Same happened with me, I was already doubting that I signed all the forms and put the right ticks in the checklist. lol It my be because we keep reading about someone else's experience.

Not sure if they will ask for medical before CSQ (I am in Quebec). It will be even better if they request both at the same time.

It's hard for sure, but it'll be worth it at the end

I think you're right about getting paranoid from reading everybody else's experiences. I am so grateful for the forum though - it made me super aware of what to watch for when submitting the forms.

I sent my application and was received on October 26th. Although I just realized I missed paying the full OWP fee (only paid $100). So I will try call them on Monday and see if I can send the payment without having my application returned.

I didn’t even pay my OWP. So I’ll just wait for my OWP returned and I’ll submit again when I have extra $255 for that since i still have my three-year post-graduate work permit valid till July 2019. ( I have paid so much money for this visa /permit shit when i come to Canada as an international student before )

I’m in the exact same boat. I only paid the $100, but after reading all this I just paid the remaining $155 and I might just go to the cic office here in town where I live and see if I can’t submit the receipt through them.
I wouldn’t know where to start with calling!! Would love to know how it works out for you.

I've managed to reach them more than 5 times by calling 1-888-242-2100 then pressing 2-1-1-0 when navigating through the self-serving options from the menu. People here suggest that you try calling them early in the morning, but it never worked for me unlike calling between 10-11:30 am. Just be ready to make more than 10 phone calls to break through the "unable to transfer you to an agent" message

I read it on multiple threads that CIC only returned their OWP application and proceeded with their PR application.

For example, you can see it on @niamahmoud 's timeline, an applicant from May 2018:

(PR & OWP) received: May 1 2018
AOR: June 12 2018
OWP Returned (Due to insufficient funds): June 14th 2018
OWP resent to Vegreville: July 16th 2018
Medical Request: 26th September 2018
RCMP Fingerprint Check request + Updated Passport Request: 26th September 2018
Medical Received: 22nd October 2018
Medical Passed (as seen on GCkey): 25th October 2018
OWP Approved: 26th October 2018​

As you can see, he got his AOR first but then after 2 days (due to insufficient funds), he got his OWP application returned. He sent it back in July and just got his OWP approval yesterday.
Hope this gives you guys a bit of a relief

Do they want updated passport from anyone?

It’s okay just to submit OWP again no big deal.

I submitted my spouce’s application on 3rd October which was received by CIC on 4th October.

I just received AOR on 25th October which is exact 3 weeks after they receive our file.

I linked my application today. Just thought of sharing my timeline
