Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications 2017 timeline and updates

[marcewang]

Hi everyone!
Updates and questions.

I forgot to pay the 155 dollar fee for my OWP and although I paid for ALL of my PR fees my OWP still got returned yesterday.

I sent it back today to Vegraville. How long do I have to wait before i get my AOR for my OWP.

I was already able to link my application (PR) to my account. What is the next thing that I should be waiting for?
I handed in my Schedule A and Police Check together will all my other papers when I sent my package the first time.

There is no such thing as AOR for OWP

oh ok. I had the same question. Will I see in my online account later anything regarding my OWP?

You can link it to your MyCIC account and you will be able to see all the updates.

Just want to share my OWP application was returned due to insufficient payment. I sent them a copy of the receipt of the lacking fund or payment thru the webform but they still returned it.

Hey. I got my OWP returned yesterday too due to insufficient funds. When they returned your OWP did they return ALL your forms that you sbmitted with your OWP?
In my case they only returned the document check list and the main form

How do I link it though? Do you get an email with a new application number?

Pretty much the same way you link your PR application. You go to: link application to this account, then choose Temporary residence, OWP and so on...

My application was returned for insufficient fees as well. It took 7 weeks after they received it back before I could link online.

AOR received today!!!
App received: October 12th - Inland.

Does AOR means Sponsor Approval? I thought it just meant that the application was complete and CIC will begin processing/reviewing it. In either regard, CONGRATULATIONS! AOR is the first exciting step towards the end game, all the best!

I wish it meant approval, I had completely misunderstood/read the original email. We've only received the AOR, but at least it's a step in the right direction. I was going to edit that previous post, but I couldn't figure out how to do that.

Congratulations!

That's the same day as me, and mine was received 8 days earlier

Here’s to hoping we are early next week!!!! And bonus I checked OWP application times and it’s saying only 7 weeks now so that is a huge drop since we first applied as it was 11 weeks!!! So if timelines are correct should have OWP by mid Feb!!!!

Wow! 7 weeks? Where did you see that?
