If it's not being returned to you then that's good news. You'll probably have a bit of a wait but nothing like them returning it and resubmitting.
Dear Josh,

Did you get the AOR email from Sydney or Mississauga?

No I don't have dependants.

It's just me (principal applicant) and my husband (sponsor)
I followed the guide in the Google sheet and it worked last night:

  1. Choose Application Number and Family Name - Copy/paste application number from email (including the F) and enter PA's last name
  2. Select one of two options next: Place of Birth or Passport Details
  3. Fill PA's info for the option you selected above and not both at the same time
  4. Put the Details of the City where the PA plans to reside after getting PR, this info should match with what you put in form IMM0008
  5. Put your marital status in.
  6. Put '2' as the number of members in the application for sponsor + spouse (add +1 per dependents)
  7. NOTE: Sometimes putting MARITAL STATUS as SINGLE also works.
I found my passport details didn't work, but the Place of birth worked the first time.

If this fails, people have suggested putting a space after your place of birth.

I have been trying to link the application, but I failed. I just followed your steps to link it and it worked in first try. Thanks a lot for the detailed instructions

Why?Is there a difference?o_O
Mississauga is known to be pretty quick, but they're only handling inland applications. I believe there's the possibility of applications being sent to them rather than local visa offices when there is backlogs.

Sydney has only recently started handling outland applications as far as I'm aware, and have had a backlog for a while - hence the lengthy waits for AOR's.

Been trying to call the 888-242-2100 number to see if I can get a status (The application was received 11/22 but no AOR yet). Verizon (calling from the US) keeps giving me a "this number cannot be completed as dialled". Anyone got it to work from the US? (ECAS isn't showing anything either - nor can I link on GCKey)
