****September 2019 - Inland Spousal PR + OWP****

[TriniKRN]

This is a good question. How long do you think it will take to get the Sin number? What is the procedure if anyone knows?

Indeed the SIN does not come with the OWP. You'd have to apply for the SIN but to do so you'd need the physical hard copy OWP.

As for how long it takes to get it, all my research says you get it within 10 to 15 minutes at Service Canada.

I meant “application sent to IRCC”. You are supposed to send the application to MIDI in Quebec when you receive the letter/email inviting you to apply for the Certification of Selection in Quebec. I sent mine to MiDI this week.

You got the email on the 5th or a later? Sent to the sponsor?

I can confirm it's a very quick process. For my first time, it took a little bit longer because they note of a bunch of my information. Second time, I just answered my secret question and they reissued the SIN with my new OWP. I imagine same for new OWP. And then for PR, most reports seem to be it's very quick. Longest thing is waiting in the office for your turn, haha.

Literally the same day you get the OWP in the mail. You just walk into a service canada center and wait like 10 minutes if its not too busy and you got it.

I got the Acknowledgment of Receipt email on the 5th. Not the invitation as I wrote in my initial message.

Hi,
I received AOR, but I could not link it to my account on CIC. Is there anyone having the same problem?
TIA

When did you receive your AOR?
Make sure you are using PA's details while linking your app and don't use the UCI from the AOR email as it is sponsor's UCI.

What are you trying to link? The Sponsorship or the OWP? In case of the OWP, when did you get AOR?

See this post earlier in this thread re OWP:

Thank you so much, I kept using the UCI and it kept failing.
Follow your instructions, succeed now.
