Call the call centre and advise them you didn't get the communication, and ask if they can help you: figure out what it was, and what's wrong with communications with you.

Just received our email from CIC yesterday (October 31st), which could be AOR. Application was received September 6th.

BUT...when we tried to link the account, we couldn't do it. We were very careful every time to ensure there were no errors. But we always got the message "Cannot find your account based on information provided". Tried 5 times and then locked out now.

Question: In "How many people with this application", we entered 1, as for my spouse. Should I enter 2? I'm the sponsor, but not the principal applicant. Is this the mistake?

Hello,

I am wondering what the latest timeline is for getting OWP after receiving AOR.

Application received Aug 22, 2017
Aor received Oct 10, 2017
OWP...???
were you able to link your OWP online? I received AOR on Oct 1 so a bit before you but haven't been able to link and have not received any info on OWP. My wife's on implied status now with no OHIP so hopefully this arrives soon.

hi,
when you received the AOR does it contain the instructions to link the application to your mycic account for both the PR and OWP? and did you (sponsor) received the email or was it your spouse?

Does anyone have an updated timeline from IRCC? October 24th when someone called they were working on August 31st. I am aware of the approx 2 months due to summer influx of applications. I am assuming that it slows down in the winter months and timelines get a little more reasonable.

Our Current Timeline
Original Package received Purolator August 18th Mississauga
Package returned October 5th via Canada Post received October 10
Package completed and resent received October 16th
Anticipated AOR between December 10-31st 2017
OWP on current processing times of 11 weeks would make Mid March for OWP approval.

Hope this helps as this is just based on the information provided via this forum and the CIC website. :)

Submitted our spousal sponsorship application and it was received on Sep 5 2017, just got an email today that they are processing as of Oct 31, 2017! Very excited to hear this as we are anxiously awaiting good news. One question... we applied for an Open Work Permit for my husband and sent it in the same envelope as the PR application. His temporary residence visa expires on Dec 16, 2017... Anyone have an idea as to how long it may take to hear back about his work permit? If we don't hear anything soon, do we need to apply for an extension on his temporary visa, and if so how do we do this? Thank in advance!

I would wait as you only need to apply withing 30 days and with the OWP application it should be submitted before then so he will have implied status as long as he is not on an IEC work permit as they do not qualify for implied status.
