You'll be able to access the status on ECAS after your lawyer receives AOR1. Just be sure to remember you personally won't get AOR or any other notifications. Everything will go to your lawyer.
DECEMBER 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP
- Thread starter alaria
- Start date
Yes, I would expect there will be some slow down for a couple of weeks until after the New Year, lots of government people taking vacation. Hopefully they will be re-energized after the holiday break!!
For an inland application PA (primary applicant) must live in Canada, so they apply from within the country.
Outland PAs live in their home countries.
The process is different, for example inland PAs are eligible to apply for an open work permit and therefore work for any employer while their application is being processed.
This thread is for outland applications.
thank you for response
yes my husband lives in Philippines, and Im here in calgary. So how does it take to have the AOR? I called the IRCC this morning and they gave me my application number, and there is “X” on it. They told me that the “X” will only be gone if they send me my AOR. I received my app this month December 6 friday. So long does it take for them to send my AOR?

You don't need to call them at such an early stage and I'd recommend not to call at all unless there's a serious reason. You can get all updates online.
Looks like AOR is going out for November 22-25 applicants right now! Close
Hopefully this will come true. Mine got accepted last dec 9, 2019If nothing changes, the first AOR1 for December applicants might be sent even before Christmas. The average time for November is 20 days now.
A huge improvement since last year when just to get AOR1 people had to wait for 3-4 months.
I believe some lucky Mississauga applicants might be done with the whole process in just 2 months
My husband said the application was received last dec 9, 2019 at mississauga but it was not at the tracker
