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?
If the application has been returned, that means you missed some documents, but the waiting time can go for 6-8 weeks, so sit tied!

Congratulations vaibhavshere. I had submitted my PR app with OWP on Jan 11, received my AOR on Feb 16 and can see 'Date Application Received' for PR app as 11 Jan, and 'Date Application Received' for OWP app as 4 Jan.

What is the ‘Date Application Received’ on your OWP (Not PR) application?

What is have seen is that the OWP application date is usually a week before the PR application. I dont know why but that's how I have been seeing them in these forums.

Thanks for sharing your details vaibhavshere. So I am probably 8-9 days from my OWP coming thru. Will post once I receive it.
And amazing day you're having - read your next post too. :D

Hi all,

happy to inform that my initial hunch was right, and wifeys work permit was approved...message isnt updated yet so hoping to ensure they removed the work restrictions since we did an upfront medical

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


The sponsor gets the email, and the email address of the sender is Client-update-mise-a-jour@cic.gc.ca
Trying to call them but without an application number I can't proceed in the menus. It may help to know that my application is for a Common Law relationship -- I'm not married to my spouse.

EDIT: My girlfriend received the application from IRCC today. Missing Police Certificates and Notice of Assessment. I made the mistake of providing a tax return instead of the NOA. On the Police Certificates however, both points i.e. The country where I've lived the longest since I'm 18 and where I currently live is Canada -- and I checked the box which says so. This allows them to request the certificates through IRCC automatically. So what was I in fault for?

Is the AOR faster once I resubmit? I saw some peoples timelines where the AOR is a couple of days after they've resubmitted. Also, do I resubmit to a specific address, or have to pay the fees again? (most probably not)

My partner just received his owp yesterday which is great news, but I'm wondering what the next steps will be. Does anyone know what is going to be upcoming after the work permit was approved?

When did he submit his application? You just need to wait for a few months for medical request.

He submitted the application on Jan 2nd, and they sent an email on Feb 9-10. Would it be better to do the medical in advance? or better to wait just to see what they want
