**DECEMBER 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS**

[Determined]

Hello
My husband and I sent our application on the 13th of December and we got AOR that it was received on the 14th. I had just entered our details into the spreadsheet and saw that many people already got approved as a sponsor even one case with our same dates.
How does someone find out if they were approved as a sponsor?
I tried to link our application but it's not working.
Do the notify you by email? Would they update our account? when I cack our status it says application received.

Hey guys, I just checked on the Canada Post website with my tracking number to see who signed my document. Apparently it was has been delivered, but there is no name or mention of it being signed. I've tried calling but they only have automated calling, does anyone know what I could do about this?

What address did you send it to? And did you check with Canada Post if there was supposed to be a signature by the person who receives it?

Hello to you both, kimmwhali and xCami:

I had the same trouble like you initially. I tried linking my account even before we have yet to received an App number. On 5 January, the day we got AOR1, I tried again using both UCI, App number and the choices in the drop-down menu of App no./Family Name, etc. I still kept being rejected until I got the message to try again after 24 hours. Yep, quite frustrating. However, just few minutes passed and I tried again (it said to wait 24 hours, right?). For some reason (program glitch, maybe?), all the boxes to fill in were up so I continued At this time, I tried again the < Family Name / Given Name / Birthday > ----- Voila, it worked!

I just thought that maybe the reason why, even though I tried all kinds of tricks and it was still not successful, I noticed though that when we received the AOR1, my name showing does not include my Middle Name. What I have been doing initially was I keep on adding my Middle Name as part of the Given Name because that's how I filled my application forms. But upon noticing how CIC uses my name, I followed it on my last try of linking the app to MyCIC, to which on the Given Name, I did not include anymore my Middle Name. In my country, Middle Name is in fact a Maiden Name. When filling CIC's form and asking for name as exactly shown on the passport, I was at first confused because there is no mention of Middle Name. I later realized that Canada takes Middle Name as part of Given Name so that's what I did.

Nweis, don't lose hope. You will still get your Apps linked to MyCIC. Yes, it's the same below steps that I followed:

1. Logged in with GC Key account.
2. Permanent Residence > Family Class (Spouses)
2-a. Application Number and Family Name - Copy/pasted application number from email (including the F) and entered PA's last name.
3. City of Birth - I entered 1 space (hit spacebar once)
4. Country of Birth - Selected PA's country of birth
5. Passport Info - Did not enter any passport info
6. Other Application Info - Filled out the other application info as per our application and put '2' as the number of members in the application. I am sponsoring my husband, no dependents.

Again, for 2-a, I selected Family Name, Given Name, Birthday (This is Principal Applicant's (PA) info). On no. 6, I entered '4' because I have 2 dependents.

Btw, I am the Principal Applicant

Good luck! Sorry for the long note.

I appreciate your help...
I tried both accounts and it did not let me link
Now ill have to wait 24 hours again...
Can i create a new online account tho? Lol.
I am so desperate to link the application but it keeps on saying no application found eventhough it says on ecas they already started processing the application...

Ok so trying to link app. Should I be using my husbands info? Like last name etc. And family members I think is 2. He has no dependants. I have a son but I don't think he would be included in that answer?

The sponsor will get an email that they have been approved or not approved as a sponsor.

I got locked out too but I eventually got it.

Try lowercase and uppercase entries, my app worked with all uppercase letters.

I posted below texts earlier about linking application to MyCIC. You might want to try it too. The steps were shared few months ago by one of the forum mates here:

The account should be in Principal Applicant's name.

Good luck!

If your husband is the Principal Applicant, the answer is Yes!
