Hi All, I applied for my partner’s inland spousal sponsorship in December 2022 and have a got a confirmation email that the application has been accepted. We are still waiting for AOR though. Can someone advice if she can travel to India for a short duration meanwhile the application is being processed.

Follow the link above for advice. Long story short, your partner should not leave the country.

PR Card photo rejected because of facial size too small/big and profile(?), uploaded a different one which was the one used with the application in the first place.

Yes, you can use it. Under the policy, you can use your medical which was done within the last 5 years. Send a webform with the details, if you have already submitted them. If not submitted, add it to the application with a letter of explanation that you want to utilize the Temporary public policy.

I have sent a webform for my application. Let's see how it goes.

Hi everyone. I am going to apply common law sponsorship. I consulted with immigration consultant and he is saying common law file usually takes 12 months and marriage file would take 6 months. Did anyone apply common law and can help me with this ?

They both come under the same category technically. The only difference I can think of is that with marriage there is a marriage certificate and pictures etc, easier verification comparatively. CLP needs more proof, like common address, outings, etc. Therefore, I think due to the submission of more pieces of evidence, more verification time is needed. That may be the reason behind your consultant's thinking.

This is my personal opinion.

Has anyone applied for inland spousal sponsorship with kids on visitor visa? Are they eligible to get OHIP once AOR is received?

Currently applying for inland spousal sponsorship on visitor visa, and we have went to Service Canada to ask about OHIP eligibility. The AOR doesn't count- they need COPR or equivalent document confirming that your PR has already been approved, and you are only waiting for the physical card to be issued.

I was able to get OHIP for my spouse (temporary, valid for 1 year) using simply the email asking for the permanent residency fee to be paid, accompanied with the payment receipt of said fee (we did the application and chose to pay that fee when requested). We hadn't gotten any email with approved in principal or similar implied message, we believe it was because it moved so fast.
The lady there reached out the immigration office and they confirmed that was plenty enough to be considered as approved.
