Sorry to hear that @TheUltimateLurker :( For some really annoying reason when you generate the fees, it doesn't include the additional $100 required for the OWP. On the upside, at least it wasn't your whole app returned and you're not right at the back of the queue again!

Hi @karan21sharma I’m in a similar situation myself, have applied for a visitor extension and not heard anything about it yet but have received AOR The general advice I received was to continue with the extension just in case. It’s rare for apps to be sent back after AOR but it can happen...

As far as I know it’s Monday-Friday office hours only

@Boilon I’ve just successfully linked my application. I have an existing account with CIC so I signed into that and underneath the previously submitted applications there’s an underlined link to click on which allows you to link the application. I selected application number and family name...

@Boilon AOR means that your app has been checked over and all the documents are present and correct. While, for the most part, this means that your application likely won’t be returned, there’s still a chance it may be. From what more senior forum members have told me, returned applications...

Hi @Netz I called ServiceCanada this morning and the guy told me that you need COPR in order to be eligible, AOR doesn't count unfortunately.

You can find the tracking information and who signed for the package usually on the website of the postal service/courier service you used for example canadapost.ca or ups.ca. It's literally just the person at the office who is handed the package, unfortunately nothing to do with CIC looking at...

Hi guys! We received AOR today on our inland + owp app! I also have a visitor visa extension in progress as my status expired on 17th September (UK citizen so had 6 months visa exempt) Now we’re received AOR do I withdraw my extension application? I know that it’s important to remain in status...

We didn’t include the OWP checklist and we just received our AOR today :)

Just the PR and OWP receipts :)

I selected other and wrote ‘visiting my spouse’ :)

Hi @Katt I just sent my extension app recently! For reason I put visit. You’ll see an optional section called ‘client info’, I included a letter briefly outlining my husband and I’s relationship (we met when I was on an IEC and I returned to Canada so we could marry and apply inland etc) I...

Hi @Ami55 I reckon it'll be about 50/50. There have been instances on this forum where people have lost their tracking number and had to wait for AOR or a returned application :( the good news about that is that the AORs seem to be coming in pretty quickly at the moment. However, I did some...

Folks who already got your AORs! Were any of you missing the OWP checklist? Really concerned our app will get returned because we didn’t know we needed to include the OWP checklist and a second copy of docs such as passport and marriage cert. Hoping on it being the case of it being a pilot...

Hi @Lagmr While I'm not fully versed in how ECAS works, it sounds like the 2nd August is the date Fedex delivered your application to the office and the 19th August is when someone from the office started looking at it. Have you received your AOR yet?

Hi! I was wondering if someone could clear something up for me. My understanding is that AOR for spousal sponsorship means that someone has ‘opened the case’ and has yet to start going through the paperwork. But I’ve seen some people saying that apps will be returned before receiving AOR if...

Looks like the average time for AOR in August is 35 days! Congrats to everyone who's received it so far. We're currently at 29 days so hopefully we'll hear something next week :)

Hi all, I just applied to extend my stay today (9th Sept). Did it all online, digitally signed. The only issue I ran into is when you're uploading the documents you can only upload one at a time. This caused an issue when it came to 'means of financial support' as I needed to upload a letter...

Hi @stellahello ! We're also in the same boat as you (and a couple of others here) in that we missed out the OWP checklist. I created a thread here: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/missing-form-inland-pr-help.651900/ regarding it. From the discussions in...

Thanks @Jnicole45 ! I'm in the same boat regarding employment history! Thank you so much for you tip about making each doc a PDF and combining, that worked perfectly :)
