    ****January 2020 - Inland Spousal PR + OWP****

    Some things seem to be slowing down a bit again. For a lot of January applicants there was a lot of people in the whatsapp group getting AIP/SA and DM. We had our decision made last week but haven't had any updates since then. We called IRCC and were informed we were approved for PR, however we...

    Date entered into Common-law relationship

    I'm sure it should be. We just reached Decision Made yesterday. Hoping it's a good Decision made and not a bad one. We didn't have a ton of documentation.

    Date entered into Common-law relationship

    I'm curious, why would you not be able to get a letter from your landlord? We rent from a company that owns many apartments across the GTA. The super in the building has changed about half a dozen times in the past 3 years. They really have no idea who we are. I've lived here for about 10 years...

    ****January 2020 - Inland Spousal PR + OWP****

    2-3 weeks seems like a long time but it does depend on where you go. For us: The request was received on Oct 21st. Appointment was made for the following day. The doc office my partner went to was integrated directly with IRCC so the results were 'uploaded' by the doctor. We did have to wait...

    Date entered into Common-law relationship

    Use the exact date that you became common-law. So 1 year from the date you moved in together. The Feb 2019 date. If you've been living together since Feb 2018, became common-law in Feb 2019 and are still working on your application here in November 2020, you should by now have more than enough...

    ****January 2020 - Inland Spousal PR + OWP****

    Congrats! We received Decision Made on ECAS today. The sponsor update said they sent details of the application, bit I don't see that notice anywhere. And my partner's GCKey data still hasn't updated. I'm hoping and assuming we'll see some good news in the next few days

    December 2019 Inland Spousal Application (With or Without OWP)

    @nitindelhi04 Congrats! Your application and AOR is about 6 days ahead of ours. I'm curious, are you married or was this a common-law sponsorship? Have you been in Canada long and did you have to submit any police checks through RCMP?

    ****January 2020 - Inland Spousal PR + OWP****

    I think we received AIP today? But not 100% sure. My partner received a letter in the GCKey portal saying "Eligibility Passed" The letter states: "It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent residence as a member of the spouse or common-law partner...

    Thanks for the detailed response. I'll give things a try again tonight using the info we have (without my UCI). Her last name is pretty straightforward. So if we can't link up tonight, will try and give IRCC a call.

    ****January 2020 - Inland Spousal PR + OWP****

    I have some questions regarding the linking process. I've been doing some searches and read the XL instructions. I've even asked some stuff in the WhatsApp channel. Some of the details are conflicting and hey, maybe I'm just confused. Note that I'm the sponsor and my partner is the PA. She has...

    ****January 2020 - Inland Spousal PR + OWP****

    That's good info to know! I know I've been paranoid off and on about forgetting something minor along the way and having things returned or worse, denied.. (I'm sure we're not the only one's). Glad to hear IRCC had a decent response.
