**INLAND SPOUSE SPONSORSHIP JANUARY 2019**
- Thread starter Ngomel
- Start date
Hey kristoph29,
I am hopeful that they are still processing OWPs at the 3 month mark, though I haven't seen anything in the last two weeks to support that. Ivylebrun mentioned that their OWP was received March 19, but in an earlier post they said they received it from CIC on March 19 and resent the OWP to Edmonton the same day. Depending on postage to Edmonton, CIC could have received it March 20-24. That is why I asked Ivylebrun to update us when they receive their OWP to keep us up to date as I believe they should receive an update of "reviewing eligibility" today or early next week.
Ivylebrun if you are reading this, did you link your OWP to your GCKey? if so, what does the received date say on your GCKey and has "reviewing eligibility" started?
There are a number of January applicants who resubmitted their OWP applications at the end of March so I suspect we should hear something next week. Further I have been closely monitoring the 2019 Spousal/Common Law Tracker, so if I see any new movement on OWP I will post something here.
We shall see!
I saw it it gckey this morning when i opened it then after a while it went to submitted again

You should bring anything that proves your current legal status in Canada. If you're currently in Canada with tourist visa you should bring any proof of that (maybe a stamp in passport?). Payment made by you would not be temp resident doc issued by CIC.

The exact same thing happened to me. I think we just need to give them a day or two for the system to be updated.
Congratulations!!
What all evidence did you provide as a proof of cohabitation? Me and my partner were requested additional proof too and the first 6 months of our relationship we didn’t have a joint lease but we did share expenses. I’m kinda worried about my app now
Thanks very much! We lived together at her parents' house at the time, so we didn't have any utility bills or lease/rent agreements under our names.
In this case, I basically sent them all of the official documents we had that contained our name and our address, such as bank statements, government IDs, healthcare bills, cellphone bills, pay stubs, T4 forms, travel insurance policies, medical invoices, letters, etc. The only documents that contained both of our names on them were the statements from our joint bank accounts; the rest were all under either my name or hers.
I sent a total of over 120 documents, so I had to split them into eight separate enquiries, as they only allow you to update up to 3.5 MB in files per enquiry. At first, they only confirmed that they received the first one but then I submitted another enquiry explaining the situation and a few days later I got an e-mail confirmation for the other ones too.
I hope that helps!
