Hi folks,
Quick question: if I received my AOR this morning, should I be able to link my application online today or do I need to wait a bit?
I don't think I'm making any mistakes entering the information (I am following the instructions someone left here a while ago) but it says they can't find it. In your experience what could it be?
thanks in advance

Hi everyone,
I sent my application 1st of November, I'm in Canada on a visitor visa that expires the 30th of January.
Now I know that I don't need to renew my visa because I would be an implied status. However, what if I don't receive anything from CIC by then ? according to this thread, a lot of people are receiving their first respond 3/4 months later.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.

You only get implied status after your AOR, because if they return your sponsorship/OWP app for any reason, then you won't be on implied status. To go on the safe side, I'd apply for a visitor visa extension at least 30 days before your status expiry date if by the first week of January you still haven't gotten your AOR. Better safe than sorry, if you are out of status then your OWP will be delayed and I guess you would have to apply to restore and all that.
I got only OWP in the mail. ETA confirmation (confirming that it is still valid till 202x) was just sent to my e-mail.
I recieved AOR November 1st.
My current working holiday visa runs out December 16th and hoping to get OWP before then though it seems unlikely at this point.
I'm assuming I'll be on implied status until it arrives? or do I need to apply for a vistor visa ?

Yes, as far as I am aware you will be on implied status until you receive an approval on your OWP.
currently applicants are receiving AOR about 2 months from cic received the application (or application was delivered via canada post). if it was received nov 1 then you can expect AOR by january 1st week. you are lucky if you can receive AOR on that week provided your application is complete, hence you will be on implied status.
we are on the same timeline. my application was received october 31st.
Okay great ! Thank you ! could you let me know when you get it please, and I'll do the same !
Update on our file
- 6th June : application received by CIC (submitted along with medical)
- 6th July : got the confirmation with UCI and app #.
- 8th July : uploaded Schedule A and PCC (we had PCC on hand). It was tricky to link application, had to leave passport info blank and use UCI and surname.
- 21st July : Received email from CIC that OWP fee paid was less than required ($100), they deducted the amount from Right to perm residency fee
- 27th July : Received email that there is an update, checked on CIC account and found that OWP has been approved.
- 20th Nov : Background status changed to "We are processing your background check"
My wife did leave the country before she got her OWP, she was outside for about 3 months. We traveled back to Canada along with our child in October and this time she had a one way ticket. The border officer asked for her "PR card", we informed that we've applied for PR/sponsorship and are still in the process and that she has the OWP. The officer requested to see that, and said that we should keep the OWP with the passport to avoid questioning
. She is from a Visa free country and her ETA was update once the OWP was issued.
I guess now its another long wait before we hear anything, the less we hear back the better
