Inland common law sponsorship, different application numbers

Aug 26, 2017

Hello everyone,

So i sent an inland common law application by January 15th and right January 27th i received a letter with an application number F000... from IRCC asking me to pay bio-metrics fees if it's not already paid. I still can't use that number to link my application.
today my partner received an email from IRCC informing him that a sponsorship application on behalf ME was received by January 15th and it's under review and it's process has not started yet, they also provided him a different temporary application number XF000... also the temporary number could not be used to link the application.
-Can anyone help me to understand the difference between those tow numbers?
-Why would IRCC contact both of us and give to everyone a different application number?
**For the record i've not submitted an application for an open work permit, may i consider the last email as a proof to apply for an open work permit online or should i until the sponsorship is accepted?

Thank you!
