56 days since application submitted and still no AOR.
Due to different circumstances my timeline will be different than the majority.

Sponsor your spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner or dependent child – Complete Guide (IMM 5289)

"The person can apply for rehabilitation either:

  • before you submit the sponsorship application, or
  • by submitting the rehabilitation application with your application for sponsorship. If you choose this option, we’ll assess your eligibility as a sponsor and do the first assessment of the permanent resident application. However, we’ll only assess the sponsored person’s admissibility after they get a decision about their rehabilitation application."

Yes, special cases can drag on for longer and it also differs with different countries.
Once you get AOR it should be smooth sailing. Usually refusals don’t take time. Approvals do, if its any consolation.

Best of luck to you!

You should already have AOR if you’re so late in the stages of the application. Next step after medical should be Pre arrival letter and finally Passport request

Submitted on Aug 1st. Received AOR on Aug 30. Received Medical and Biometrics request on sept 5.
But still not able to link the link the account to tracker or gckey.
Always get the below error:
Incorrect or invalid information. Review and make sure it matches the information submitted on the Use of a Representative [IMM 5476] form or the Authority to Release Personal Information to a Designated Individual [IMM 5475] form. If you can’t create an account, it may be because your client’s application is not in our system yet.

Anyone else having the same issue.
can someone also share the links where they are tracking their application (incase I am doing from the incorrect link)
Ok so heres a few tips on linking application to GC-Key first make sure your pick the option to use application number and last name. the information you will use to find your application to link in G-Ckey is the Principle applicatn info not the sponsor. you will first put the case/Application # of your file in the respective field then put your last name as inputted on the webforms. next when asked if you want to use passport or birth country pick passport and fill in the passport information of all principle applicants lastly they will ask you who are under this application if its only you one then put 2 do not put 1 if there is more then you one then put it as it is. if you follow all these steps you should be able to find your application and link it.

Next the tracker is now working you can create a tracker profile however you will need the UCI # of the sponsor to do so remember same rule applies here only put the principle applicant information in not the sponsor. if you need further help feel free to reach out.

Thank you so much. Now the application is linked to the account.
Is tracker something different from this? Where do I create the tracker account from?

The AOR comes after you submit your application and they review that the documents you submitted matches the checklist and that you paid all of your fees.

This is what you should ger:
  • Acknowledgement of receipt
    We sent you a message telling you we received your application. We have now officially started processing your application.

  • Application received
    We received your application and we’re checking to make sure you’ve submitted all the required forms and documents on the document checklist. If your application is incomplete, we’ll return it to you without processing it. If your application has all the requested forms and documents, you’ll get a message confirming we’ve accepted your application for processing.
