Hello, we are new here in this forum. We just submitted our application and via canada post tracking it was delivered last October 6 but no confirmation in our email that they have received it. We tried to check application online through linking it using name and date of birth but says “it doesnt exist”. So we assumed they havent started to open our application. How long before we would know that sponsor is eligible. Or would they email us? Your timelines can help ease our worry.

I sent mine sept 12. No reply yet. The response times vary too, some get an aor1 in a week some in 6-7 weeks.

Thank you for replying. How can we be sure the application didnt get lost? Just being paranoid.
Im fairly new to this but i think we are just completely in the dark until the acknowledgement of reciept comes in. If it tracked as delivered i assumed its there, just sitting on a govt beurocrats desk pile. Theres no rhyme or reason governing the speed of responses its so random.

Hello, Does it really take that long? Im getting worried. How long did you have to wait for the aor
Yes. 6-8 weeks is normal. You haven't even been waiting a month yet.

Hi,
Applied SOWP application via online on 12th oct and got a confirmation mail from them on 13th oct.
Finger crossed and Waiting for further updates.
You are very lucky. Some of us has been waiting for almost a month now to some almost 2 months. You received yours after 1 day! Very lucky. Not sure now if I should have just sent ours online. Seems to have a faster results i suppose.

We included owp application together with the spousal and mailed it 3 weeks ago, we havent receive aor yet. Theres a checklist for application ( extended your stay as worker ) applies to those spousal sponsorship. I guess online submission gives a faster result. We mailed ours and its almost a month now no word yet

This section of the forum is for Canadian citizens/PRs sponsoring their family members. This specific thread is for those who have submitted an inland sponsorship application with an OWP.

Stick to the Foreign Workers section of the forum.
