No, there is only one AOR that sponsoring person receives from IRCC. The first email that PA will receive from IRCC is for biometrics.

Oh, thank you so much! Didn't know that. The email that the sponsor received can be used to apply for a BOWP then?

You cannot apply for a BOWP as it is designated for other immigration programs. However, you can apply for a Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP) using AOR your sponsor has recived. Use this link to check your eligibility and other requirements.

I applied on Jan-17,2025 (inland) haven’t received any update, No AOR. Does it take that long for AOR.

Normal time to receive AOR is 1-3 months, however most of the applicants receives AOR within one month period, you can try to call IRCC they will update you regarding your application.
