Hey our application was received March 28 I think. We sent a police certificate for home country with application and never received a request for Canadian police certificate. I saw on the cic web page that they are making changes with the police certificate process, so I think that’s why they never requested. Medical exams come after 6-7 months
2018 Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications: timeline and updates

Hi. I am an inland spousal sponsored PR applicant. I received my OWP approval last week (Feb 14 applicant). I would like to study part-time as I look for work. Does anyone know whether I need to apply for a study permit to enroll in classes now that I have my OWP? Will applying for a study permit affect my pending PR application? Thank you.
Oooh okay! I thought I'd heard about both the sponsor and principal applicant receiving AORs, so I thought it might be a two-step process to link accounts as well.
I'm going to assume that everything is fine, and that if they need to get ahold of us they will do so through my husband's linked account!
Thanks for the re-assurance!
Out of curiosity - has anyone else not received an AOR, but has been able to link their account through ECAS?
We've checked the junk mail of our emails every single day, and I'm sure we didn't receive the AOR. However on ECAS it says the application was received April 3 and been in process since April 26.
I'm curious if this is a common glitch in the system, or something unique to our application.

Yes, sponsorship eligibility confirmation is usually referred to as AOR2 and you will absolutely be notified about it through your already linked PR app on your husband's account. The sponsor themselves has nothing to link - it's only the PR app and OWP app (if applicable), both through the principal applicant's account.
Also keep in mind that for inland apps, you'll get the AOR2 closer to the end of the whole process. It's not really intuitive since you'd think that would probably be the first thing they determine and notify you about, but inland apps are just weird like that. Both the med request and AOR2 happen pretty much at the end of the process, like a month before they request the passport. So don't worry about not getting it any time soon, it'll be a while.
Hi, yes, had the same situation. Applied March 26, marked as received on ECAS, no AOR come May 30th. I was very paranoid the application had been sent back but then someone told me that if it’s visible on ECAS you should be able to link the application through UCI. I tried that and it linked both the OWP and the PR app. Now listed as “in process” on ECAS and on mycic the applications seem to be proceeding as normal. Strange to not have gotten AOR but seems to be moving forward. Hoping for the best!
I sent mine on March29 but i didnt send my police certificate with the application because my home country needs a letter from the ircc in order to issue a certificate so i wrote an explanation but did you receive anything for open work permit?
See that Feb 14 applicant got the OWP already. Case by case, it won't be the same time to everybody.
I know, you're right it is case by case, but most people in our Whatsapp group within the first weeks of Feb have not received it. I'm not just talking about my own individual case, but of many others as well.
Thanks, but it doesn't work with this data as well. Is there a way to find out what's wrong?
I don't know...you have to put all the info of applicant. I just know that OWP account would take 5 days later works. PR account easy to link....
