September 2025 - Inland Spouse/Common law Applicants

[j'aime le Québec]

Hey everyone,
My sponsor received the AOR which says that I will get an invitation for giving biometrics. Thats now 1 week ago and I haven't gotten any message in my IRCC account.
But they linked my old biometrics from my work permit 2 years ago.

Does anyone know what comes next?

I also applied for my open work permit.

They usually ask for Biometrics even if you have already provided it, maybe they must have updated it, lets see! Next should be Sponsors Eligibility hopefully.

Hi all, I submitted a spousal sponsorship application for my wife. She is in Canada. I received an email today for additional information required in her IMM5669.

However I do no know how to go about resubmitting this form or linking her application to GCkey. We have her application number, UCI in the letter that was received today. If someone can guide me on how to link the application or create an account to see the status or resubmit the form that would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Usually corrections or additions are submitted via Webform eh! I will recommend if your are not sure you can always take registered immigration consultant advise. Good luck

What is APR eligibility?

An "APR eligibility decision letter" means you have been approved in principle for permanent residence, and you have met the initial eligibility requirements. This is a significant milestone, but it does not guarantee final approval, as you must still pass remaining checks like medical, security, and background checks.

Hey everyone,
I still have not received the invitation for biometrics and I drive myself crazy because my sponsor received the AOR October 16th. I already sent a message and just received the answer that I have to wait. Does anyone have some calming words?

Hello @Phi1996 as they say, the processing steps and time differs, who know everything might be completed one by one, patience is a key and it should be done soon. All is well
