    ***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    Are you dropping the X from your temporary app number when you try to link in GCKey?

    My wife just arrived in canada and is giving birth in a few weeks

    If your wife has visitor status she most likely will not be covered as long as she has that status, at least until she gets AOR or AIP, depending who you ask (in addition to the 3 month residency rule). I don't know about other provinces but one of the only ways visitors can get coverage in...

    ***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    In GCKey you're trying the application number you got in the AOR email plus the PA's info? ECAS is for sponsor, PA can link in GCKey. Maybe stating the obvious but just to be clear. You could try all caps or just regular capitalization of first letters? Read somewhere that it's case sensitive...

    ***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    When we applied for PR we didn't include an app for OWP, but decided 3-4 weeks after we sent it that we also wanted to apply for OWP. I called IRCC and they said to send a separate OWP app (with letter of explanation and our PR application #) to an address in Edmonton, as that is where OWP apps...

    Try calling right when they open too. Be patient and persistent.

    ***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    I was just able to link to our OWP application now and we got AOR 3 days ago. OWP's are processed in Edmonton so that explains the delay in fully syncing with the timing of notifications coming out of CPC Mississauga.

    I would certainly try. Worth including a letter of explanation as well so IRCC clearly understands why you have done this.

    ***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    We got the application number from IRCC several weeks before we got AOR - it still had an X at the front of it then and call center could not confirm it was complete and wouldn't be returned. I do agree mistakes are different and this signature mistake is more serious, however it's still worth a...

    ***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    If you just sent it, you could wait a bit then try calling IRCC to get your application number. Once you have that you can upload a revised form via web form with a letter of explanation and send a new hard copy by courier to IRCC, also with an LOE. Can't guarantee it will prevent it from being...

    ***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    Same happened for me and I got AOR a day after I could link it. I'd say 99% chance it won't be sent back.

    Proof of cohabitation rejected

    Maybe the rules have changed? We did this just last week in Ottawa, for a joint chequing account. If you're anywhere near Ottawa I can PM you with the branch and financial advisor details.

    Proof of cohabitation rejected

    Hope it works! Also I think you mentioned your wife has Ontario photo ID? If so, depending on her passport you can open a joint account at CIBC without her being PR. We recently did this (also in Ontario, my wife isn't PR yet either) and this form of ID plus an eligible passport is considered...

    ***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    You can call IRCC and ask for application number. When you try to link using it, drop the X from the start, so your first letter is F instead. If there's only you and your sponsor, number of people in application is 2 when you're searching to link (as you may know). And we did make some...

    ***November 2018*** INLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    Have you tried linking? I'm also a Nov 22nd applicant. We called IRCC to get our application # and have been attempting regularly to link it. Just tried again now and it worked! I used application # and family name, as well as place of birth. Shows date of submission as January 14th. Still no...

    Proof of cohabitation rejected

    My credit card company is same as yours. Could you provide copies of your actual cards (with each's name on them), copy of the statement in your name and address, and highlight all the transactions done by your wife on her card in the statement? My statement states who did the actual transaction...

    What to say at customs if I want to stay in Canada with spouse while outland application processes?

    I think it's quite unlikely for an American to be denied entry to Canada with visitor status in this situation. You normally are visa exempt for 6 months and can't see why this would be different. Check out the provisions in law under dual intent as well. Just be sure you make it clear to CBSA...
