November 2018 Outland Applicants (Spousal Sponsorship)

[MihaiS]

My application was received on Nov 20, 2018.

I did not received my AOR, so I gave a call to IRCC (18882422100). I was told my application has not yet been processed and it may be by luck that people whose application was submitted later than mine have received their AOR.

I was told that they could only take an action if my application was received before October 9, 2018. Also, they gave me a temp application number and suggested me to wait.

Mine was received same like yours and haven't got anything

Just this afternoon I received AOR, but my wife didn't receive any email. I am happy that my application is good and its not returning back> i can happily wait for MR and SA now!!!

Is it the payment receipt you mean? Also, payment was made by sponsor but shall I use sponsor’s name or PA’s name to do the check? Thank you.

I am the sponsor and yes I received my SA, just a few hours later after my AOR.

Seems all the communication from Canada (AOR/SA) was delayed for me while the application really was already in the visa office outside of Canada and being processed.
Weird but I am not complaining

Good luck to everyone else.

How is everyone calling because I have tried that number and it just hangs up, is it another number available? Getting quite impatient

I've tried around 50 times to call now, across various times of the day and I can never get through. I get that automated message saying the volume of calls is high. I've asked my partner to call from Canada today, as I'm starting to think they have some geolocation thing just rejecting me
