Totally agree with quami - AOR means nothing. This is temporary work permit - waiting 2 years is not acceptable. People need to know if its approved or rejected so that they can move on. We have invested lot of resources and money. If they cannot process should not accept further applications.
Exactly! They just keep wasting our time now.

Thank you for such an informative thread everyone, WOW!!!

I have submitted the application via post and confirmed through DHL tracking that it has been received in Edmonton. It's now been two weeks and I am still unable to link the application online to my GCKey account. Does anyone have any ideas please?

She got her AoR and biometrics letter about 6 weeks after submission. No medical. And then they asked for my T4s and NOA in Oct 2019 and children's birth certs last February. Nothing since then. She also gave birth in October so we had to add the baby in the app. Have not heard anything since February. I also sought the help of our MP alreadt
Hi Quami , did your employee submit proof of funds, since she is going with her spouse and baby or she won't be going with her family?

I am applying with my spouse, would I need Proof of funds?

you can only link your application online once you have AOR, and they’re taking almost one year to give the AOR because of covid 19

They didn't submit proof of funds. And IRCC hasn't asked for it either.

BUT, I have heard from another employer wherein IRCC wanted the employee to submit proof of funds as they believe the caregiver's income is not sufficient for their family of 4 or 5...

Updated on feb 9, 2021. Please read the site for full info.

Work permit applications related to a permanent residence application:

Delays in processing your permanent residence application mean that any work permit application related to it may also take longer to process. This includes occupation-restricted open work permits under the Home Child Care Provider or Home Support Worker Pilots
bridging open work permits
open work permits for Interim Pathway for Caregivers applicants
open work permits for Live-in Caregiver Program applicants

Note: If we already sent you a letter saying you’re eligible under the permanent residence program you applied for, the decision on your work permit application should not be delayed.

You should also consider:

Work permit applications that depend on a decision on a permanent residence application, such as those under the Home Child Care Provider and Home Support Worker Pilots, may take a year or, in some cases, even more. This is because we have to assess the PR application first before issuing the work permit. This also means you could be on maintained status for a year or more.

Thank you.
When your work permit expires and decided not to get a new work permit (LMIA) while waiting for the decision of the pr/bowp application, it is now called maintained status previously known as implied status.
