Hey everyone,
I am from USA and husband from Canada. We are doing the outland spousal sponsorship.
My application package was delivered to Mississauga on June 1 and I got AOR 1 on July 10th.
I have been trying to link my paper application to my online GC account but the link has been broken the past 2 days.
Does anyone know what comes next after AOR 1 and how long it takes for the next step?
Hi there,
Please feel free to join July 2018 thread and also see my signature.
What happens after submitting my application?

Then, if eligible, the sponsor will receive the Sponsor Approval email(SA) which contains the UCI (Unique Client ID) and application number to use for tracking the status of the application. Via email
Then the Principal Applicant(PA) will receive the letter confirmation of receipt of the PR application/Acknowledgment Of Receipt(AOR1). Via email
Please note that both the Sponsor and PA receive identical Application number but different UCI numbers.
Then, if not already submitted upfront with the application:
1. Police Check Certificate Request(PCC)
