Update: I have finally linked our OWP on GCKey! I'd tried using the PA's UCI and Family Name + Passport info over and over with no luck. Then just now, I managed to link it using Family Name, Given Name and Date of Birth - the key piece being that I entered: Family name: Smith Given name: John...

bbarker-- I'm also sponsoring an American spouse. I don't have any insight into the questions you asked, but I'm interested to see what advice you get on here. Good luck! It's been 2 weeks since I got the AOR email. Still can't link OWP. Still no email of approval. My husband (PA) will be...

Unfortunately I've been trying for days, but nothing... which makes me even MORE nervous haha. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Congrats! Must be a huge relief. Weird about the email. I'm panicking because while we received AOR for our Sponsorship/PR application, there's been no correspondence on the work permit. Our application was received Feb 6th with AOR on March 26th. Unfortunately they couldn't give me any info...

I just can't link my OWP for some reason. It's really starting to worry me that I haven't received an approval email. I'd like to call to check, but I never seem to get anywhere on that phone line! Any tricks to reaching an operator that can check the status of our OWP?

THANK YOU! I had tried this many times, but somehow it never occurred to me that the UCI in the online PR application would be different than what was in my email. Unfortunately I hit the 5 attempt max today, but I'll give it a shot tomorrow! Really appreciate your help.

Can I ask what number you called to inquire? I'm a little confused about OWP linking/approval. I received an AOR email about my application to sponsor my husband. Turns out he hasn't received anything at all. I used the UCI and App # within my email to link our CIC online services account, but...

Thank you! Yes, as another poster said, both my husband (PA) and myself (Sponsor) received an email as notification. Enclosed was our UCI and Application Number. I immediately tried to link it to my existing CIC account, which I was able to do using our Application Number and my husband's Family...

AOR received this morning! Inland spousal sponsorship + OWP, no dependents Application received: February 6, 2019 AOR: March 26, 2019 Linked on MyCIC: March 26, 2019

Update: with less than 4 hours to go before our application HAD to be on the Fedex truck, IRCC finally announced that the work permit pilot program has been extended to July 31, 2020. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/notices/open-work-permit-pilot-extension.html...

Thank you, I really appreciate your post. I came to the same conclusion about still being eligible, but with possibly a much longer wait time for the OWP approval. Still terrible news for us as we're banking on the short timeline living off of a single income. It looks like the birth certificate...

I know we're responsible for our own deadlines, but they should REALLY mention January 31 on the CIC webpages for OWP and Spousal Sponsorship applications! I've even been working with an immigration consultant and this is the first I've heard this date. The birth certificate is en route, but I...

I was not aware of a deadline! My husband and I planned to submit yesterday, but we've been waylaid by a missing birth certificate. If our application to sponsor for PR + application for OWP is received AFTER January 31 - is he now not eligible for an OWP?
