2018 Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications: timeline and updates

[CdnwifeUSwife]

Just wanted to update y'all that my USwife got her OWP approved! (Dec 21st applicant) She got an email letter from IRCC today, so I checked MyCIC account but was puzzled that it didn't show that the application was approved, then I realized that she got a new application number for her work permit because it was resubmitted in Feb. I successfully linked her OWP (with the new app number) just few moments ago, and it shows that the OWP was received on the original date Dec 21st which surprised me. I think they accepted my letter of suggestion to grant her OWP by this month from the original date (which counts 4 months), not from the resubmission date (in Feb). I'm so glad I wrote that letter!! My wife now is over the moon and we're celebrating tonight with some stiff drinks! She was getting really restless for not working, and now she can. (I'm the sponsor and do all the paperwork, etc since my USwife hates doing so! haha Hence I'm on the forums, which helps a lot to read from other members, and learn stuff.)

Hi everyone!

Happy new year
I am new to this forum, but find it a very helpful resource. I have been reading the 2017 spousal sponsorship updates thread and didn't see a thread started for those submitting 2018 spousal applications. Hoping I can share any updates and also hear from others.

My common-law partner (from Australia) and I have submitted our application on January 2nd, received by the processing centre on January 3rd.

Wishing luck to everyone

Congratulations! This is a positive update, feels good to see fellow applicants get their OWP's. Way to go.

My application was received March 12th, still no AOR. Is there anyway I can check if my application was rejected? Whose email do you get the AOR on?

You can call CIC here to ask about your application: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/call.asp

Whose email do you get the AOR on?

The sponsor gets the email, and the email address of the sender is Client-update-mise-a-jour@cic.gc.ca

It means they are reviewing it, nothing is guaranteed, but it is a good thing to let the ball rolling.

Did you get an email that that status changed to "reviewing"? Or did you just happen to check cic...
