May 2026 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship

[Guitarlife]

Hi everyone anyone here who is yet to get AOR.
We submitted initially on May 4 2026, app was returned June 23 2026 as incomplete we filled and submitted again June 25 2026.

We are yet to get any response since then and we are very worried.

Any suggestions ?

Outland app.

Applied in March, returned (representative form). Reapplied in April, returned (fee shortfall). Reapplied May 29 - nothing since. Your prior submissions have nothing to do with the most recent one.

THanks for writing back.
I am really worried now.

Are there many people like us still expecting aor after 10 weeks ?

Really, your file is from June 23. You could get AOR soon. If you click on the tracker link in my signature, you can see the average AOR times.

I had my MP contact IRCC yesterday - they advised that my file has not been queued to be opened yet and that the process takes up to 12 months. That's all. They said that kind of delay is typical - but I disagree. I see most applications here, facebook, reddit have not exceeded the 40-50 days for AOR. I think the frustrating part is just watching people apply after you passing several critical steps.. and mine is just sitting there untouched after 100 days. There's really nothing I can do, except hope that it doesn't get returned again after waiting this long.

From the Excel tracker, some June applicants are getting pre-arrival emails.

For some reason they skipped May applicants which isn't very nice, but at least we know some activity is ongoing after a complete standstill for most of August

I've given up checking anymore or caring. I'm at 100 days.

Finally, an update for me... I think I'm the last one in May. Oof. After 104 days, we finally received AOR.

Thank you! I am okay being patient through the process - but this was just unfortunate and unusual. I am heading over in 2 weeks to see my husband, so if we happen to get BIL or Med Request, I may be there with him!
