DECEMBER 2021 *INLAND* SPONSORSHIP

[bonjourToto]

Hello, Everyone!
We are going to deposit our application (Sponsor + RP + OWP) on December 2021.
I didn't found a thread, then I created this one.
Some people suggested to create groups, then I created a Telegram: https://t.me/canadaVisaInlandDecember2021 (I hope it is not forbidden - if so, I can delete it)

 

[bonjourToto]

The main reason I started the thread is to allow us to stick together and to exchange our news about the mistakes we could suffer penalties for.
One first thing I noticed is that the official website [1] presents some bug when we try to download the checklist IMM 5533 E [2].
But if we go to the french version [3], then it works fine.
And now I don't know if I send the whole package in english, with this single one checklist in french, if we could have our application returned.

Checklist

• Document Checklist – Spouse (including dependent children of spouse) [IMM 5533] (PDF, 3.7 MB) [2]
  • Use your checklist to make sure you include all the forms and documents you need.
  • Place the checklist on top, as a cover page for your application package

Liste de vérification

• Liste de vérification pour un époux (incluant les enfants à charge) [IMM 5533] (PDF, 3 Mo) [3]
  • Utilisez votre liste de vérification afin de vous assurer que tous les formulaires et documents nécessaires sont inclus.
  • Placez la liste de vérification au-dessus de votre dossier de demande.

Hey,

Congratulation on submitting your application.It can take some time to receive any updates from IRCC (in our case PRE-AOR),so don't worry about it too much.Hopefully you will hear back from them by the end of January.

Honestly, I would apply for a visitor extension just to be on the safe side.

having applied for spousal sponsorship does not give you implied status hence you should apply for a visitor extension to maintain a legal status in canada

 

[Santhosh Matta]

Thank you for suggestion..
Applied visitor extension but currently processing time is showing 138 days which will be beyond March In case if my visitir extension is not done at that time what will be situation?

 

[Major2710]

sorry for not making it clear

applying for the visitor extension gives you implied status till the application is processed, meaning even if you applied 1 week before the expiration, since you have applied and awaiting the processing your status is legal in canada

having a spousal sponsorship in process does not give you legal status

read the recommendation on cic, not sure how long before they recommend it , I put my application 1 month in advance of expiry and was able to get a years extension with a letter requesting 1 year.

good thing i did because my sposal application was returned, else it would have been just 6 months extension which is standard from what i understand, and i would be in a rush to maintain my legal status in canada

Hi Everyone,

[GV27]

Thanks.

Here is the link to the Tracking Tool. So far it looks like 3 December Inland apps have received AOR. If you haven't entered your info yet, you may want to as it's a handy way for all applicants to keep an eye on average timelines.

Thanks for the response.
Sure, I will fill in the info.

 

[Major2710]

average days for inland paper is around 45 days mark from date of submission, there have been instances of earlier temporary AORs,

there is no cutoff just estimations, the spreadsheet is helpful to understand the randomness

Jesus, these two candidates got AOR so fast, applying on December?!
I wonder how can it be so...
