January 2024 Inland Spousal Sponsorship

[Pal15]

I submitted my application on April 12.
Got my AOR on May 3.
No update after that.
Has anyone got PR in this year? If yes, what’s the timeline?

Does anybody know how to recognize an AOR?
I received an email with just an application number and saying that my sponsorship has been received by IRCC and their names. No files attached.

"This confirms that your application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class has been received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) on 2024/04/30 on behalf of the following member(s):"

Is that an AOR? Can we apply for a work permit now?
Any helps is very much appreciated.

Hello guys,

Me (the sponsor), received the AOR on May 18th, but when I try to apply for my spouse open work permit I see the following on the IRCC website:

• "The AOR must be for your permanent resident application. You can’t use the AOR your sponsor received when they applied to sponsor you."

All I have is an email with an AOR sent to my email, but my spouse which is the principal applicant she never received the AOR/email, nothing!.
Please help, what should I do? is this normal? we were supposed to get the same email with the AOR but I'm the only one who has received it.

Help please.

That email is your AOR. You can save the email as a PDF and submit it with your SOWP application. I am a principal applicant and I didn't receive the AOR either, but my sponsor did. I used it for my SOWP and got approved already.
