Congratulations on getting AOR fairly quickly......I have a question if this forum can answer....I have a PR and I am starting the process of spousal sponsorship now. We had applied under EE earlier but my wife was expecting so she was marked non-accompanying in COPR sent in Dec'19 to me by IRCC.

1) For family class sponsorship, can I expect it to be a faster processing now as IRCC already knows about my spouse from previous application? (She has a UCI which we will mention in the Letter of Explanation)
2) Our consultant mentioned that in this scenario, you do not have to prove your relationship as it is genuine and I also have a dependent child? Does this make our case stronger and may lead to faster processing?

I know IRCC processes applications randomly and in no order but still hopeful to bring my family to Toronto as soon as possible. Any pointers will be helpful
Outland takes more time.
Inland is faster

Anyone have any idea how long it takes for an inland application get a biometrics request letter? We submitted on 25 March, received both AORs on the 28th of April as well as a request for medicals. Medical exam was passed on the 6th. We received a "fee reminder letter" on the 2nd, but had paid everything in full according to the fee scale that was in effect at the time the application was submitted (total $1,135.00 CAD)

Hi everyone. Where is the link to do spousal sponsorship online? I do not see on the cic.gc.ca anywhere.
Please someone post the link.

Applied outland sponsorship in the month of March, still waiting for AOR. Any outland March applicant received their AOR?

Have you received biometrics request letter? I submitted my application on March 22nd, got AOR and medical request on May 3rd, and biometrics fee reminder on May 5th, my medical exam was passed yesterday, but I haven’t yet received the biometrics request letter.
