Your case timeline looks similar to Maria0000's.
So it's your background check now and it could take days or mmonths. Looks like IRCC inland is speedy these days. Good news.

Yeah it seems like that, I have submitted file on first week of August and within next 2 weeks they asked me to re-submit one document, once I did that I got AOR, Biometric request I got on last week of September and on first week of Oct. I got Spousal and Principle applicant letter. I wish every one get their final decision before their existing Visa deadline.

Did you do Medical after receiving an instruction letter from IRCC? Does the email come in Sponsor’s email?

I had medical previously done so they accepted that. Not sure if you have to wait to do it until they requested it.

AOR - 05/10/2023 - applied on 28th August

How does the AOR look like? Does the Sponsor get the AOR email or the PA?
I am the Sponsor and I got an email from IRCC stating " This confirms that your application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class has been received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada "

Can I apply for an open work permit with this email confirmation?

MIL 16th Oct
Did medical 17th Oct
BIL 26th Oct
Medical passed 28th Oct
Biometrics completed 30th Oct
Eligibility completed 3rd Nov
AIP & SA 6th Nov

Waiting on background, was told on 14th Nov (called IRCC) that none of my background (criminality, info sharing, security, etc) were started yet and the visa office were doing preliminary checks before sending off.

IRCC is being more weird. How did you get AIP before background check?
This is very interesting.

 

[YVR123]

AIP is always before background check for spousal sponsorships

not really as "always".
At least from what I've read before. But IRCC may have changed it. Who knows.
AIP was usually right before COPR for inland before.

Pre arrival?

 

[YVR123]

Ah I see. It's a good change, earlier the better. AIP allows people to get their health cards (at least in Ontario)

good to have provincial health coverage. Hopefully background check won't take long. It really varies from case to case.

What is AIP?

 

[ConciseMan]

I applied on Aug 12th 2023, got biometrics request on Nov 20th. I paid 170 for me and my spouse completed biometrics Nov 22nd. I contacted IRCC they said probably by Jan or Feb I should get to know about the result.
