June 2024 - Inland Spousal Sponsorship

[sam001]

Hey there. Thanks for setting up this group guys.

Applied June 14th still waiting for AOR.

A quick question guys, who typically receives the automated email that confirms that you have successfully submitted your PR application - the PA or both SP & PA?

What I have seen so far in the threads, it usually gets delivered in the sponsor’s email

What additional documents did they ask for??

PA previously worked in the public service so they need IMM0149 filled out.

Applied June 7th, No AOR yet.


Should I wait or call IRCC to ask for an update? My work permit expires August 15th so need AOR to apply for work permit

Hi everyone !

my partner and I just finished our sponsorship ( she’s the PR HOLDER) 2 weeks ago with no AOR yet. My post grad work permit expires on the 17th ( super close).

so the decision is wether we submit my extension for and open work permit now or wait till I get the AOR which in that case my permit would be expired and I’d have to apply for a restoration.

we plan on going ahead with submitting before it before it expires on the 17th but I would appreciate some advice or guidance if any! Much appreciated.

Hi,
I believe PGWP can't be extended unless they initially didn't give your full alloted time maybe cause of passport expiry otherwise you can't extend/renew pgwp.

I think maybe, you either wait till you get AOR to apply for OWP which will give you maintained status until it's approved. OR You can apply for a visitor record now before you work permit expires so you actually have no gaps in ur statuses afterwards can apply for OWP when AOR comes. I would lean towards the latter option so I don't have an expired status. Chances are you will be probably get AOR within two weeks.

Thanks for this! I already applied for the OWP yesterday without the AOR, would that be an issue? I put in explanation letters to detail my situation so hopefully that helps. I just heard about the visitor record which is a great help .

Oh I see! I think you probably fine then. I remember seeing from their website that a spouse under sponsor can apply without AOR if their permit expires within two weeks.

[alex00]

what is PAS letter??

I believe it is the Pre-arrival services letter. I am surprised Inland applicants get this, I thought it was only for outland.
