Everyone's timeline is different and any potential issues with biometrics would not delay the medical exam request. I received my medical request before they even requested my biometrics. So I would not worry too much about any differences between your husband and your sister's husband -- they...

Wow -- looks like February 7th was a lucky day to submit! I've been trying to not get too excited because I know the background check is where most people get stuck for months. But I am very happy with how quickly all of the other steps are going. From what I've read about the pre-arrival...

I submitted everything according to IRCC's document checklist, which you can generate for yourself here depending on your home country (some countries require additional forms and documents compared to others): https://ircc.canada.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp. It's really...

Thank you! Not yet - going for my biometrics appointment tomorrow. :)

No, not yet. Applied on the 7th and received AOR on the 22nd.

Why are you submitting your driver's license? It isn't a required part of the application unless you are using it as proof of cohabitation, and if you are using it for that, it would be much better to include a document that reflects your current address.

Received AOR today on Feb 22nd, 2024

So excited to have finally gathered all of my documents and get to start my own timeline comment! It looks like at least AOR is happening very quickly for many people lately, so keeping my fingers crossed that I'm just as lucky. Good luck, everyone! Sponsor: Citizen PA: American, inland, out of...

The email from January 18th would be AOR. The email you received yesterday is your Sponsor Approval (SA) and your partner's email is her Approval In Principle (AIP).

Thanks so much! Keeping my fingers crossed for a quick and smooth application process for myself, and looking forward to [hopefully] finally becoming legal here again shortly. It's been bad enough dealing with the accident + injuries -- mixing in being out of status in a foreign country has made...
