if in the email there is a application number and UCI #, you may have received AOR.....and the PA may link the application to online account, so you can receive future messages through your online account.

Most straight forward Outland Spousal Sponsorship follow these process steps (the order of the steps may vary)

1. Application received at IRCC
   
2. IRCC start processing application
3. Receive Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR 1)
4. Link Application to Online Account
5. Sponsor Approval and File transfer to VO
6. VO starts processing PR application (AOR 2)
7. Receive Request for Medical Exam
8. Medical Exam @ IRCC Panel Physician Clinic
9. Medical Exam Result
10. Passport Request (PPR)
11. Pick-up Permanent Residency Visa (PUM)

Spousal sponsorship process completion time varies depending on the Visa Office and on a case basis.......will advice you assume process completion takes 12 months to help reduce the waiting stress.......relax.....its a wait game.

Thanks; but until now I do not receive the AOR or another email where it says that my application is in process. I haven't linked the application yet because I'm not sure those numbers are the definitive ones.

It it seems that my application is in step one, tomorrow it will be 8 weeks after the application is received. We are applying inland, those steps would be the same?

I was trying to follow the status by the online tools but they can't find nothing. Thanks I just want to know if I'm not misunderstanding the process.

@Wakki, can you also provide the process steps for Inland Applications?

The email in which they tell you to link the application and give you your UCI number is the AOR. So that's that. They usually send it at around 6 or so weeks after you send in the app. There's no other AOR.

Thanks,

Yes, that's the AOR. The F... number is the application number and the UCI is your UCI. Yes, you should link it.

Yes, that's the AOR. The F... number is the application number and the UCI is your UCI. Yes, you should link it.

Thanks you a lot!

@np08, that will be incorrect my friend! The UCI number is for her boyfriend - the sponsor.
@azumaetar, use the application number to link your app on MyCIC

@barsarah I have an account on MyCIC and trying to link the application number to my account and turn nothing "Based on the information you entered, we found no applications".

Why would it be for her sponsor? She's the applicant and she needs a UCI to link the application. I didn't get my UCI any other way, it was in the AOR.

@azumaetar make sure that you're counting the sponsor for that last question that asks you how many people in the application. If it's just you being sponsored, put 2 as it counts the sponsor. That's usually the problem with linking, the question isn't clear enough.

@np08 The email was for my boyfriend and he has UCI, because I already have an account and UCI, so if I sign in with my account I should use my UCI or his UCI? and yes I put 2, I tried with my information, his information and the number of the application but nothing.

UCI number on the AOR is for her sponsor only but the application number is for both the sponsor and the principal applicant. She has her own UCI number - which is usually the same number on her Study/Work permit and Visa.

@azumaetar, Try the following steps and let me know how it goes:

1. Go to https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html
2. Scroll down and click on Continue with GCKey
3. Sign up and/or Sign in with your credentials
4. Click on Add (link) your application to your account
5. Select Category: Permanent Residence
6. Sub Category: Family Class (Spouses)
7. Select: Application Number and Family Name
8. Application Number: Fill in the Application Number on the AOR (starting with letter F followed by 9 digits)
9. Family Name: Fill in your last name
10. Select: Passport
11. Fill in the details (yours)
12. If you applied Inland: Select your current Province and City (not the Point of Entry); otherwise, fill in the same information you filed on your application.
13. Marital Status: Select Common-Law. Since you are calling your sponsor as your boyfriend, I am guessing you are not married.
14. Enter the number of family members as 2 if you have no dependents; otherwise, add 1 for each dependant of yours regardless if they are accompanying you to Canada or not.
