****OCTOBER 2019 Inland Spousal Sponsorship****
- Thread starter Laurahd
- Start date
No I don’t know what you mean by virual landing.. got co-pr doc through email and they also attached instructions to send a photograph along with the co-pr document to get the PR card
October 23 applicant here: I am also checking ECAS and GCKey every 5 minutes at the moment, and I just had an ”Application/Profile updated“, but no other changes.
The exact same thing just happened to me, but it's now back to just saying "submitted". I'm an Oct. 10 applicant who got SA/AIP on Aug. 30... I was hoping it would change to "Approved," but maybe it was just a system-wide glitch (or perhaps we'll both get approved soon!
lol).
Hi Kat! With an OWP you get a temporary SIN number, it starts with a number that indicates you are not a resident and it also has the same expiration date as your OWP So you have to keep updating it as your permits get renew (ive gone through 1 study permit and 2 OWP renewals in 4 years). When you get COPR you can apply for your new SIN online, to get one that is permanent and will not change during your life in Canada . To apply online you fill in this form https://sin-nas.canada.ca/en/Sin/ and indicate its a “change of status” and then further down it lets you include your old temporary SIN. After you get your new permanent SIN you need to notify your bank(s) and employeers and I think also update your CRA account for taxing purposes. Hope that helps
Just got a call from an IRCC officer in the Vancouver office saying my PR app. was approved! She just asked if my Canadian address was still valid and confirmed that I've never been arrested/charged with a crime. She said that I should receive an email attaching an official COPR letter by Tuesday evening (delay due to the long weekend). CIC now officially says "approved." I'm so happy!! Timeline below.

Hi there, thank you so much for these info! I understand better now. Also, I'm in Vancouver so I got a healthcard using my OWP.
October 10 applicant here!
Just received a notice of an update on my application and when I logged in I got a letter that states my eligibility has been approved and my wife's eligibility as a sponsor has also been approved (don't know if it matters or if one is approved then the other one is also approved so just saying it all)!
The status on the website hasn't changed in eligibility or background check (both still show in progress..).

Thank you so much Amy! It helps a lot. Will save the link you gave now. I appreciate your help.
Seems like most people (PAs) are either called or emailed by IRCC to confirm that they are currently living in Canada, and their address. Maybe another question or 2. I do not *think* in-person interviews have resumed. From there you receive DM very quickly.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
