MARCH 2020 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

[ddzel]

If they can get a job offer they can apply for a closed work permit. Will have to have LMIA as well

Yes I guessed that that would be an options. Only issue is that Alberta government is trying to remove most occupations from being able to obtain LMIA’s in Alberta

 

[ddzel]

when did you apply and how long it took for you to get the TRV ? I am also planning the same.

My partner is from Australia and therefore visa exempt. He doesn’t need TRV to travel as far as I’m aware

Has anyone received any update? I saw 2 March outland applicants get temporary application numbers when they called CIC.

What is a temporary application number?

 

[Fizz 2020]

What is purpose of giving temporary application number? Is it AOR?

Its pre aor and is number that will be aor after some more processing

What is a temporary application number?

Its a number they assign to your application before AOR and it would normaly start with an XF and later on they would remove the X.

 

[Phalos]

Congrats for at least getting to that stage of the process. Some of us don’t even know if our applications will get AOR or be returned. Not sure when you applied but if you applied in March like the rest of us and your application is in that stage then yes you are lucky. We are all frustrated with the wait, no need to be rude.

Oh, no Im feb app, but stuck with post March apps lol didnt mean to be rude.
Yes it is very frustrating.

With this is it linkable online? Is it is only linkable only when they remove the X?

Understandable. The wait is insane

It is not likely possible to link an application with a temporary file number. Though some have been able to link on ECAS without AOR, removing the X from the number. If you remove the X and are able to link then it means they started working on your application but have not sent you an AOR or an update. I know a few people who are way ahead with their applications and have never received AORs.

When do you get that number with X?

I believe you can use the receipt number from payment of the application fees to check you application status via ECAS if you haven’t yet received AOR?

That is what they say. I tried and it didn't work. The system told me the receipt number was incorrect and should be in a format different then the number on my receipt. It confused me even more. Perhaps if my application is not in the system then it cannot read it?

Yes I am that "lucky one". Aor, med, bio, criminality all passed. So how exactly am I lucky explain please.

Out of curiosity, has your gckey updated recently to state criminality is passed? I recall reading your previous posts and I think we’re at a similar stage in our applications, having passed medical mid-March just prior to the COVID impacts and before receiving notice our apps were sent to CPC-M or local VO?

Sorry to hear that, perhaps that is the case. The receipt number I used was in the format of beginning with ‘R’ followed by a sequence of 9 numbers, if that’s any help.
