Schedule A has to be filled for the sponsor as well as he is the spouse for the principle applicant or is it just for the principal applicant? Thanks.

Hello everyone, what is Enhanced AOR?
my application package was delivered on June 5, received two email from CIC on July 6.

1. to sponsor - informing receipt of sponsorship application
2. to primary applicant - Sub: Enhanced AOR for back office - with Application No. asking to link it to GC account within 7 days.

The issue is we are not able to link it to GC account even after providing all correct info. I exhausted 5 attempts, so for 24 hours i cannot try to link again.

If anyone knows how to link application correctly , please let me know.

If you're going to upload it, you just need to type in the name and the date. No need for the signature. It's only needed if you're going to mail the documents to them.

So lemme share a story with yall about my application and why I signed up for this website in the june category... i originally sent it back in april but it got sent back to me in june because THE PHOTO SIZE specifications! has anyone ever had this problem? There seems to be no photographers in TZ who can seem to get the photo specifications right and are steady using scissors to cut the photos (hence the dimensions tend to be skewed as compared to being cut with a guillotine or straight edge razor). Had my wife send me some new updated photos and lo and behold, yet again the specifications were off by 1 or 2 mm's and there was ink dot stain on the white background of the photo (because on the back was handwritten by pen and then mailed to me here in canada)... so i manually cut it to the best of my ability to the specifications and used a bit of spit and my finger to rub off as much ink as i could and sent it off in june with a PRAYER.

Do you guys think they will accept it if there is some ink stain on the photo from the handwriting on the back? its costing me 60 bucks to have her fedex me photos to mail off and when she did the line cutting the photo is slightly crooked? Far away cities from capitals in sub saharan Africa tend to not have the best access to photo studios that can easily roll out passport photos that meet Canada's standards... Anybody here got word in Tanzania and know whats up with a good photo studio that delivers in case this time dont go through?

Also another reason why the initial application was sent back, I used MY address in Canada (the sponsors) for the principal applicants mailing address.... apparently they did not accept that... However where my wife lives people dont have mailboxes and street numbers and things like that which is why i used mine in canada so I could fill all boxes... So we set up a P.O box in her country and city instead but again there is no zip code. Will this be accepted? And will it be OK if for her physical address I left the street number blank and zip code because there is no street number or zipcode where she lives. Will CIC understand this or??

sorry for the long post but any answers would be much appreciated. still waiting on AOR1 obviously and stressing. Much thanks in advance.

I believe you can use your address as the mailing address but you have to fill out the use of representative form since her correspondence might/will be coming to you (technically). It's stated in the instructions/common mistakes people make on their website, that if the you the sponsor will be using your address as the mailing address for the principal applicant, you must also include use of representative form. I used my address for my spouse and that's exactly what i did. I hope this helps.

AOR 1 received. I'm surprised it came through on a Saturday. Thought I'd have to wait until Monday. Will figure out how to link later on. Yay, one hurdle down and many more to go.

go through instructions on how to link posted in this thread and other threads in this forum .. it's not difficult .. and use the PA info, not the sponsor's info .. thats the key point .. there is also a timeline spreadsheet link posted somewhere in this thread .. instructions are there too .. also see if you can update your timeline there .. good luck!!

I'm the sponsor and we use the same email address so not sure if there will be any issues. They also addressed it to me in my maiden name. Hope this doesn't make a difference.

it doesn't matter what email you have provided them .. the information (as in, DOB, place of birth, etc) used to create a GCKEY account and then linking your application to that account is of the PA .. not the sponsor's .. i have the link to the speadsheet we are using to update timelines .. you will see a tab there with instructions on how to link application ..

In the spreadsheet it says your AOR1 was received on July 6 (Thursday). You should correct that since you said you received it today.
