There is a different spreadsheet for each month. What month did you apply?

Yup. I applied for the first time back in January and within 2 weeks, my application was returned to me in the mail (I forgot to sign a form... heh, heh.) Otherwise, I would have received AOR within that time frame. If you find the thread on this forum for the month that you submitted your...

About 10 business days on average.

We were in the same situation and supplied documents from the last three items on the list. It was definitely tricky since we don't "technically" live together or have our names on any joint documents. Important documents showing you are recognized as each other's spouse: I provided...

The problem with leaving the country when you have an inland application processing is that if you leave Canada for good, they consider your application to be abandoned and it is cancelled. So the risk is that if you are denied entry for whatever reason when you attempt to return to Canada, then...

I have seen so much conflicting information about this, I'm seeking to understand how it actually works! I'm an American citizen and I've been staying with my Canadian husband as a visitor since November 2016. However, I haven't been in Canada the whole time. Every month, I go back to the...

I sent mine on the same day and already received mine back unprocessed (I made a mistake) so you should hear something soon.

When I got it in the mail today, it was too late to contact them, but I'm going to call tomorrow. However, my guess is 99% chance no. The letter with my returned application says it's completely unprocessed and won't be considered received until it is resubmitted. So it's not like they already...

I submitted mine in January, but it was returned to me. *SIGH* So I will be joining your ranks as well after re-submitting this week...

My application was returned to me in the mail today. I forgot to sign a form. I combed through that application literally ten times, double and triple checking that every single thing was filled out and signed. I have no idea how I missed it. Normally? No big deal. Annoying, but I could just...

It will help for you to think of the application in two totally separate parts. There's the sponsor forms/supporting documents, and the applicant forms/ supporting documents. You are the applicant and your wife is the sponsor. Anything requested of the applicant (you) just refers to you (and any...

Re: Spousal sponsorship // IMM 3999 / Appendix B??? Whew. Sorry... I am in constant freak-out mode because I haven't received my AOR1 yet!

Re: Spousal sponsorship // IMM 3999 / Appendix B??? You had official photos taken for the sponsor AND applicant? OK, now I'm freaking out a little - we only sent photos for myself (the applicant). I can't find any documentation stating official photos of the sponsor are required, too? Did I...

You can also check the June applicants thread/spreadsheet to see when people are getting their PPR. : )

I would recommend not having your husband in the same vehicle as all of the stuff. You wouldn't want it to look like he was moving up his belongings. Could you ride in separate vehicles?

I've crossed from Canada to the US and back upwards of 200 times. Based on my experiences, I would say NEVER volunteer any information unless they specifically ask you for it. You'll be in for a nightmare if you say you're proposing (plus they might try to charge you duty/taxes on the ring...)...

I used Canada Post and sent via Priority, which is the fastest delivery option (overnight). This comes with tracking/signature confirmation. It was delivered in 1 day. Plus, it was only about $25 or so. I think Canada Post is the more cost-effective route... lord knows we already spend enough to...

Ah, I will be watching my email like a hawk for my AOR1 then. : ) Thanks for the info!

Yes, I am the applicant. Thank you so much for this info! Very helpful!

For those of you who have received your AOR1: Are you receiving it via regular mail, via email to the sponsor's email, or via email to the primary applicant's email?
