And yes I did apply for OWP with the first email saved as a PDF and I did not receive any sort of warning from the IRCC regarding that yet.
As others have told you - that email IS the AOR. there is no longer a PDF attachement, you print to pdf and attach that to the OWP applicaiton

Thank you so much.

Quick Update. I just applied for my wife’s OWP but while watching some videos online I got a bit confused on if she is in STATUS.

she came into Canada in Dec 2023 and was given a paper that said 92 but it wasn’t stamped on her passport. We applied for spousal sponsorship in Feb 2024 but didn’t think to apply for extension because we thought since we have applied she will be in maintained status.

But from I watched yesterday it looks like we should have applied for extension for her visitors visa before the expiration in March.

We only received what we now know as the AOR in May, so I am a bit confused. Is my wife in STATUS?, should I go ahead and now apply for extension while her PR and OWP are in process?.

Please clarify.
Thank you

She is out of status. Apply to restore her status as visitor asap. (She has 90 days since her pervious status expired to apply for restoration)

She will only be able to get OWP if her status is restored by then. (as visitor)

This will not affect her PR sponsorship application.

Out of status. OWP won't be possible until you have AIP.

These Lawyers really put one in trouble
My lawyer is saying I she is fine and that the spousal application covers everything but I just checked the eligibility tool on IRCC and it’s telling me my wife out of status!

Thank you guys so much.
I really appreciate

Hi guys,
Quick update. My wife received a pre-arrival service letter from IRCC. Is this standard for Spousal-sponsorship inside Canada?.

I thought it was only for principal applicant outside Canada.

Standard for both, although some don't seem to get.

Hi @manudeepp, I just received my AOR and I'm looking to apply for the OWP, but I'm getting stuck on the last bit of the instructions here. They talking about what I should upload in the sport for IMM 5707, the problem is I don't have a spot for that in my document checklist. Did you experience anything like this? If so, what did you do? Thanks.

Hello do you need to give biometric for PR? Can you apply your biometric you gave while you applied for study permit as it is valid for 10 years ?

If I am not mistaken, a study permit is a temporary resident. Therefore, you will need to do the biometrics again for PR (permanent one). They will request. Just have to monitor your email.
