Hi,
There was an update in the checklist on IMM5533 on August,2022. I have a question for those who applied online. How did you uploaded your marriage photos. I am resubmitted my husband's application and i noticed that photos must be uploaded separately and an another separate document with description of context and with proper label.when I submitted his application for the first time, I put the date of birth and event on the bottom of the photos itself. But do you think as per the updated checklist,you just need to upload the photos and then explain the context in a separate form rather than having the date of birth and everything within the form?

Thanks for sharing. Did you receive a separate email/application number for the OWP? We've only received the AOR via sponsor's email. No other email for the OWP. Thank you.
Nope, no separate email for the OWP. But we linked the OWP application on GCKey using the applicant's UCI that came with the medical request.

I don't think we'll get an email about the OWP until it's approved. I don't believe they send one before that, at least, I've never seen anyone say they got on before that.

Were you able to link it immediately?

Yup! Able to link both the sponsorship and the OWP right away.

It says 'Online Application' though, which is worrying me since we applied on paper. But it's definitely a work permit and all the details are correct so.

Oh alright cause I submitted online and submitted the OWP via paper after receiving AOR, been trying to link it but it says no record was found yet. Tried calling the IRCC like 3 days after submission and they said there's a temporary file number I wonder when I could be able to link the application I figured that there's no AOR like email for OWP as well.

Yeah as far as I know there's no AOR email for it anyways. I'm not really sure how it works with online applications, as I haven't seen too many people do it. But a temporary file number is good, it means they have it anyways! Hopefully it comes through for us both soon!

Hi,

I applied for my spousal visa outland (online) by last week of May, 2022. My wife lives in Pakistan, and im currently living and working in Canada.

Its been more than 3 months, but yet to receive AOR.

Can anyone help me how to contact CIC and get update on status of application. Moreover, is there anyone who recently applied for the spousal visa outland online, please share your application status.

Thanks

Unfortunately there's no guaranteed way to get an update. Up until very recently, online applications tend to wait 4-5 months for AOR.

You can try calling IRCC, some people are able to get a temporary application number that way, but it's not a guarantee. It only works for some people.
