Hi everyone!

My partner is sponsoring me to Canada through Spouse/Common-law sponsorship. We applied at the end of summer. He has just received AOR1 in his email. I haven't received anything yet. Can I use that AOR to apply for an open work permit?

Can anybody let me know , I applied PR for my spouse she is in India. DO VFS charge for biometric because we already paide $85 to ircc when we applied. VFS jalandhar asked RS. 2000 for normal and Rs. 3500 for premium so they upload the biometric within a week. In my opinion its a scam thing. My wife paid at the spot but I just want to confirm whether they ask for it in vfs offices in India, if anyone has an idea please share. Thank you

Yes, its a scam.

@armoured @scylla I will be submitting spousal sponsorship application soon. For proof of contact, can we submit our chats as is without any translation as there is some private stuff in the chats which we don't want to get officially translated? Most of the conversation is not in English but all of the words are written with English letters but the visa officer will not understand them. What other proofs can we submit?

We submitted ours converted it in the notepad and translated ourself then converted to pdf and submitted.

You should not have to pay more than CAD85 for the IRCC to complete and receive your biometrics.

Hi. Just wondering what type of additional documents they asked for. Were there missing documents in the application or did they ask for additional proof of something?

Hi,

I have entered Canada as visitor and been given a 4 months deadline to leave the country via visitor record (due to dual intent) at the air border. I have now applied for OWP due to the long processing times for Quebec applications. It is likely that I will receive OWP while I am on maintained status. My questions:

• When I entered Canada as visitor, I have informed IRCC via webform and called call-centre. They have updated my address, but I haven't sent a scan of the visitor record, nor I have informed IRCC when my visitor status would expire. I just told them that I was living in Canada as temporary resident with visitor status from 'date'. Would that be an issue? I assume is not an issue as IRCC can see all the history of my entries to Canada?
• Also, I have changed passport from submission and when I sent a scan of my new passport, I only sent the main page with photo, but did not send the page with the stamp from CBSA. Would that be an issue? I assume is not an issue as IRCC can see all the history of my entries to Canada?

Hi I forgot to include some time periods to previous address part. So they sent a document request regarding with that.

Hi, I am still waiting for my ARO. It has been 4 months now. I am worring that they may send the ARO email to a wrong email address. How can I change my contact email at this stage as I don't have an UCI number?

Hello! It means they are still to work on your background check. Only info sharing is in progress because they share database with other countries (biometrics). Background check normally is the one that take the longest from all.
