I’m confused. Did you get AOR or a temporary file number by calling in? Temporary file number isn’t AOR.Guys, for December 2020 applicant they are giving temporary file number now starting with XF000.
Okay, so you did not receive an email from IRCC yet right?By calling the cic, they will give you temporary number which is a good sign that they have your file now waiting for an officer to review it for AOR.
Just to add to this a bit:i dont think any cover letter is needed.
We included only a list as cover letter of all the documents in the application as there were quite a few. Honestly that was mostly an organizational tool - sort of a complete checklist of docs and forms - for me to use while compiling, and I decided to attach it for convenience. There was no text to speak of apart from that.Just to add to this a bit:
A cover letter is not required nor is it necessary. As a general rule, anything you would have put in a cover letter should be covered in the application itself already.
If you want to write one, there’s nothing stopping you from doing so, particularly if you know you have a fairly complicated case, but for most people anything you would put there would simply be redundant.
My husband and I never wrote one for that very reason. Anything we would have put there was covered in the application itself, therefore we would have just been repeating ourselves. For anyone who has a very straight forward case like we did, I wouldn’t bother.
That I like! If I was going to suggest a cover letter it would have been something like this, particularly for anyone who does have a lot of documents to add.We included only a list as cover letter of all the documents in the application as there were quite a few.

It also helped me in keeping a complete copy of the app package as sent.
You are charged immediately and need to include the receipt with your application. I suggest paying the biometrics fee now. Good luck!If i pay my fee onlines for my spouse, will I be charged immediately on my credit card? Or will it be charged when my files gets processed? Also is better to pay biometrics fees now or when an ircc officer sends a letter? Thanks
Paying the biometric fee right now is highly recommended.You are charged immediately and need to include the receipt with your application. I suggest paying the biometrics fee now. Good luck!
I did a cover sheet for the additional documents to explain what they were, how many pages. Section one was sponsor proof/additional documents and Section two was PA proof/add. docs.We included only a list as cover letter of all the documents in the application as there were quite a few.

The Checklist is kinda like the cover sheet, u would check off all documents in the package and following the checklist order.I did a cover sheet for the additional documents to explain what they were, how many pages.

Yes I understand, but there is a section where they ask for further proof of the relationship - shared finances, tickets from travel etc. etc. I made a list of these things in order i placed them.The Checklist is kinda like the cover sheet, u would check off all documents in the package and following the checklist order.
I'm just worried to get it sent back after waiting that longLooks like people who Applied in Sept 2020 are starting to get their AOR's, I see one guy who got it 4 days ago Jan 21, 2021. Hopefully it does not take 3-4 months for us to get our AOR
