How/where will you be asking for a refund? I'm in the same boat.

Hello Everyone,
I need some advice here
I applied my PR as spouse non-accompanying (due to high CRS cut-off) and my PR is approved.
Now I would like to apply Inland spousal sponsorship, so 2 questions here ?
  1. Do I need to give any explanation on why I didn't add my spouse to my express entry PR application , but applying through a spousal sponsorship
  2. I have 2 weeks of planned travel outside Canada in Jun, does it affect spousal sponsorship application ?

Hi,
I would like to know if you have any example of AoR's email? I have received an email (my sponsor too), but I do not know if it is our AoR or just an email telling us that the application has been receieved! Thank you for your help.
I would like to know, in general, is there any email from the IRCC in which the IRCC has confirmed they have reviewed the application and that the PA meets the eligibility requirements to apply ?

I’m still at a loss:
Inland Spousal sponsorship application; Done by agency.
Original paper application accepted in June,2021
Re-submitted (as per requested) and confirmed, Jan. 18, 2022
All requirements have been done and accepted
Welcome email received; She has now been in Canada for 21 months!
Confirmation email for residency acceptance on September 26, 2022
PR Portal requirements sent and accepted on November 10, 2022
At this time, the agency, is no longer required.
The picture has been in review since early January,2023
There have been no updates!

Finally was able to link GC key account after submitting IMM5476 to release agency
GC account has no updates since Medical and background, September 23,2022
Application tracker, also has no updates since September!
No CoPR letter or email!

All calls in to inquire have been met with different types of answers, and requests now for another IMM5476, in order for me, ( Canadian husband) to be able to do inquiries on her behalf.

I am at a loss as to the delays, when I see others that have been helped sooner.
I understand that they are busy, but really!!

Can I ask you a question: to apply for the OHIP, a document is required stating that IRCC has confirmed they have reviewed the application and that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply. Have you received this letter in your PR process?
Thank you for your time

My brother applied for his wife sponsorship in Canada-she is on visitor visa here.
They returned their file because of something missing.

they re-submitted the application on 15 Mar 2023.
Is there someone in same boat or how long it is taking them to send AOR

Yes, that means they have started processing the application further. They do eligibility checks for both the sponsor and the applicant.
Hi,
Thank you for sharing your timeline. I see in your timeline that:
November 25: COPR document number assigned
January 12: PR approval email!
I would like to know when an inland applicant receives COPR this means he/she has the PR? are there other steps between COPR and PR approval? Can he/she leaves Canada and do other steps online?
Thank you for helping me.

Note: I am not the one you asked this question

You get a COPR document after submitting a declaration that You are in Canada. Once you get COPR, you should ideally wait for PR card because you cannot travel without it. and in the background, once you get COPR - your other visas are cancelled. It is important to make sure you are in Canada while all of this happening.
My friend was waiting for COPR after submitting the declaration and decided to travel. They had no issues while leaving the country, only when they were trying to re-enter
