July 2024 Inland spousal sponsorship timeline

[Balsaab0007]

So, I have submitted OWP today and later received AOR for PR by email (sponsor’s). I have sent the AOR via the Web Form to complete the OWP application. PA already received BIL for OWP. I am just curious about the AOR we received. It was a PDF attachment with no UCI #, just date, Application #, code bar and my name and address. I am not able to post a screen shot but:

Title of email: Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada - Communication to client/Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada - Communication auprès de la clientèle - CPCM / CTDM - Inland SCLP AOR Letter Fxxxxxxx.

Body of email:
Dear Client,

This email is regarding the Application for Permanent Residence that you submitted to this office.

Attached please find a letter related to your application. Please fully read the attachment and save this message for your records.

The attachment is formatted as a PDF file. In order to open and read this file you will.. (nothing related to application just general information about if I need to communicate changes in status, address…)

Body of attached PDF:
Dear (my name),
This letter confirms that your application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class has been received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on 2024-07-18.

Next step:
If your sponsored family members are between 14 and 79 years old, they and their accompanying dependents (who are 14 years of age or older), will need to complete Biometrics... nothing else much.

Any idea if the AOR formats have changed? I am waiting for the Invitation to apply for undertaking with MIFI.

Also, in status application, it says that medical, biometrics, interview and background check will not be required for the PR application.

Ur work permit was expiring????
After applying work permit u got aor for PR file???

I also called IRCC and get application no to link my application. Is it showing “pending registration” as status in your gc key.

It shows Submitted.

 

[Sarishty17]

I have not seen BIL in gc key but receive it in my email.

 

[qcacz]

Can u tell me exactly what should i say them to get no???

I tried to link account every day while waiting for AOR and was using PA’s name and passport information. I was eventually able to link it that way before even receiving AOR.

Not sure why. But they didn’t send me the AOR because I applied for the OWP, I think it was just a concidence that I received the AOR a few hours after applying for OWP. It’s the initial request for OWP, not an extension.

Hello,
I have some questions for applicants who received BIL.
1. Did you pay the fee when you received BIL? Or did you pay after receiving the email from IRCC asking you to pay the fee?
2. If you received the email from IRCC asking you to pay the fee and paid it, do you need to send a separate receipt to IRCC?

 

[Sarishty17]

I was not asked for any fee might be included in application fee.

I received BIL email and done few days ago. When I went to Service Canada for Biometric, they didn't ask fee.
Then yesterday I got an email from IRCC and I paid..
I thought there's no fee. So I ask you guys if anyone paid Biometric


Reminder – Biometrics Fee
This letter refers to your application for permanent residence.
As of June 15, 2023, you need to provide new biometrics when you apply from within Canada. You
need to give your biometrics and pay the fee, even if you gave your biometrics in the past to support a
visitor visa, study or work permit application, or a different permanent resident application.
If you’re between 14 and 79 years old, you and your accompanying dependents (who are 14 years of
age or older), will need to give your fingerprints and photo (biometrics) for all permanent resident
applications. This letter is a reminder to submit the Biometrics fee if you did not include it with your
application submission.
Please disregard this reminder if you have already paid and submitted your Biometrics fee with
your application or since the submission of your application.

This depends on what you paid during the application submission. I selected to pay the biometrics feee as well, so I wont pay when they request biometrics
