Thanks for the info! I sure hope you get some answers on the whereabouts of your app!

I am not aware of any numbers that you can call if you are outside of Canada. That goes for any GC departments I have had to contact for my spouse who lives outside of N. America. Does anyone else know what number to call from outside Canada or the US?

The letter I got from CIC said that you must link your application to your account within 7 days. If you got your AOR1 on Jan 10, then that is past the 7 days. CIC said they would send you a letter saying that you would then receive correspondences by snail mail. Did you get a letter from...

Once you get SA, that means that you passed the first part of the application (the sponsor is approved). Then they will be looking at the principal applicant and determining if he/she meets the criteria, as well as reviewing whether your relationship is genuine. That will be done at a Visa...

IRCC call centre : 1 888 242-2100 I've had mixed results about how helpful they are. It depends on who you talk to. Good luck!

Thank you Nassersamin, I hope we both get SA soon!

Best of luck linking your wife's account to the application! :)

I'm not 100% sure if it's a problem using a Canadian IP address, but I would think that if it's just the one account that is used, it doesn't matter where you access it from as it is both yours and your wife's application. I don't know if other people usually have both sponsor and applicant...

Hi, I (sponsor) opened up an account using GCKey and have linked our app for spousal sponsorship. My partner didn't open up an account, so we have the one account and I have been checking for electronic updates. When it comes time for him to upload documents (i.e. the next one would be the...

Thanks for your reply. I should stop obsessing about details and just have some patience! :)

Are you able to get updates on MyCIC account (your application is linked to your account)? If you are waiting for Sponsor approval, it shouldn't normally take more than a month from when they start processing your application. If it does, there might be some problem, in which case you might...

Hi everyone, I am waiting to see if I get SA approval at this time. On MyCIC account, is it usual to see your status with: Background check: in progress but Review of eligibility: not started I think I was reading in the Britishexpats.com forum that it said usually both should be...

Thanks! I am a bit frustrated that they don't send out an email for AOR1. I feel like I have to check all the time on MyCIC account for updates because I don't know if they are sending out emails to us to notify us of docs they need (Schedule A and I still have my partner's Police Certificate...

Congrats! Good luck to your husband on his interview!

Hi, I am kind of a novice at this, but it seems to me that you don't have other options as proof of relationship, because with the new forms, they ask you to submit evidence from 2 out of 3 of very specific criteria. Unfortunately if you are not able to provide what they are looking for, your...

Thanks! I hope so too! Good luck to you too!

My app was received Jan. 25. To this date I have received absolutely no correspondence from CPC-M (myself - sponsor nor my partner). Starting from day 14 after my app was received, I checked everyday to see if I could link my app to MyCIC account. Finally yesterday, exactly 4 weeks (28...

Maybe I have the same IO as you. My app was received on Jan 25 and just today (4 weeks later) I was able to link my application i.e. he/she just opened the file. I still have not received my AOR1 either. At this rate, I am thinking it might take 2 months or more to get SA if i am actually...

Happy you got it to work! I don't know why they can't just fix these gliches in their system. You can waste so much time trying so many different ways to enter the info. As if all of us here aren't experiencing enough anguish going through the whole sponsorship process. :'(

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let those of you who are still waiting for AOR1 that just this morning I was able to link my file to MyCIC account. My app was received Jan. 25. I have been trying to link my app everyday for the last 2 weeks. I am pretty sure that they only just opened the...
