I submitted my PR in December 13, but eligibility hasn't been updated for the sponsor or myself (PA). Already did biometrics. how's everyone else doing?
Same application date and same situation, from what I've seen from October and November applicants, probably medical next week and eligibility in two-three weeks for us.

Hello everyone,
We have a lawyer representing us on my wife's sponsorship application. Yesterday I noticed on the tracker that my wife's telephone number was incorrect. The last digit specifically. This was a mistake made by me while completing the forms. Is it important to get the number changed or it does not matter as IRCC only communicates via email of the sponsor, the applicant or the rep?

You'd have to ask your lawyer to request IRCC to change the phone number. You are right that IRCC communicates almost entirely via email or regular mail, but it is in your best interest that all the info is correct on their side.

Eligibility confirmation just means the sponsor was approved as a sponsor. Up until that point, they have not even started looking at the PA. They always process the Sponsor and then the PA.

Hello, on December 29th, 2023, I sponsored my partner. On January 18th, 2024, I received an email from IRCC confirming the receipt of the application. Today, I received another email from IRCC with a document attached, stating that I meet the eligibility requirements as a sponsor. Simultaneously, my partner received an email confirming her eligibility and meeting the requirements. Should I consider the email received today or the one from January 18th as the Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR)?
the applicant and sponsor passed on the day? in most cases, there are months apart. can you show your full timeline?
