Hi cera,
Me too didn’t pay biometric when I apply, because when I check online they said its valid for 10 years. So I think yours also valid for 10 years( if you give before)
biometrics for TRVs cannot be used for PR, and so you need to pay

Hi everyone, please I need advice. I didn't pay biometrics fee when I sent in my application because I thought the 10 years validity for my TRV would count. I didn't know PR biometrics was different, please would my application be returned because of this or can I pay now? please how can I fix this so my application doesn't get returned?
you can pay and send receipt with note via webform

Hi all,

I hope everyone is keeping well and safe.

This is my first post on this forum. I submitted spousal sponsorship application on 23rd March, 2020 via Canada post regular mail, and I hope it has been delivered. I raised web query regarding status of my application and I was told that my application is not in their system.

I am worried after receiving their reply and would be grateful if somebody could respond to my query as under:-

Query - When can we link application with GCkey account? Only after receiving AOR1?

Thank you.

Correct. Once you get your first AOR, it provides your UCI, application #, etc, which you need in order to link your application to GCKey.
Thanks for responding. It means the person replying to my web query can't see my application in their system till I receive AOR?

That's a good question. I'm not sure whether they can look it up solely using your name and date of birth, or if they absolutely need an application # or UCI.

Sometimes your application can be in their system and the AOR is just delayed. That is why others have been able to link their applications online before getting AOR. (meaning processing of their application has begun, but they have not yet received AOR)

When is her status set to expire? If you don't get AOR up until a few days before the status expires then you can apply to extend stay.

her status expires in September
You have a lot of time ahead, by then you would have either received, AOR, been able to link the applications, or received the OWP....Or known if the application is returned. Either even if the processing takes months and months, you would know before sept if you need to apply to extend stay.

thank you for clarifying so if i link the application before then, than she doesn't need to exit the country, is that correct ?

when they received your application and you waiting for processing, you're in implied status and you stay in Canada is legal.
Except some accident your application has been sent back, you will be out of status at this case. You could not apply again, you have to exchange/extend your status first until you got your status back, then apply again.
