May 2024 - Inland Spousal Sponsorship
- Thread starter Sponsorship2024
- Start date
I submitted the Spousal PR application through the principal applicant's account, and as the sponsor, I received the following email from IRCC. Should I consider this as the Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR), because my wife who is principal applicant did not receive any AOR email and there is no update in the account. Someone pls confirm if I can proceed with submitting the Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP) application, or should we wait for a separate email from IRCC that explicitly states the AOR?
And I came across below link stating that the sponsor's letter should not be used for this purpose. Could someone please clarify?

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

My wife also had her medical done for visitor visa. I thought it might automatically reflect on the spousal and OWP applications. I think I might go ahead and send the medicals via webform as well
Yes, that is a good idea! I sent the webform with my IME and no. and a few days after it is reflected on the tracker.
IME I understand, could you tell me what no. you mentioned in the webform?
That's AOR. Use that to apply for OWP.
btw I think another member mentioned something about "no". I think he/she means application number.
Thank you @YVR123
My wife is currently on a Post-Graduate Work Permit, which, along with her TRV, is going to expire next month. We have already submitted the Spousal PR application and received the AOR in the sponsor's email id. When filling out the Spousal Open Work Permit application, specifically in form 5710e, what should I respond to the following question?
3. I am applying for one or more of the following:
i Apply for a work permit for the same employer
ii Apply for a work permit for the first time or with a new employer
iii Restore my status as worker
iv Get a new temporary resident permit (for inadmissible applicants only)
When selecting option (iii), I'm prompted to choose between options (i) and (ii). However, since my wife is not currently working, I'm unsure whether selecting either option makes sense. Could someone please clarify this?
No. is number. Sorry for the confusion. In the IME form (with your photo and the details). If you look at the "client visa details" section, there would be an IME# You can include that in the webform.
