Guess I'm just being impatient lol.

Question...it says that the OWP takes about 4 months to receive. Is that 4 months from when they send you the AOR? Or 4 months from when they recieved the application? I read that the OWP app goes to a different department to be processed so I wasn't sure
I would guess it would be from when you sent it and I think the OWP wait time has come down.

The spreadsheet is a really good place to get an idea of average time for everybody. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...ZBiE67fUmznYQrNhYVWXPXXJBw/edit#gid=577041533

If you look at August, September and October tabs on the bottom, they give pretty accurate numbers of what we should expect as November applicants (though I think we should probably add a week or so onto the AOR timeline because of the holidays.) It looks like August applicants are starting to get their OWP. A few in September and nobody in October yet.

Thank you! I haven't been able to open the spreadsheet on my phone, just my laptop, so I haven't checked it recently.

Hi,

Do we need to pay biometrics fee if we are applying this week?

I see the below note on cic website:

As of December 3, 2019, you need to give biometrics when you apply from within Canada. You can go to a designated Service Canada location.

Can anyone please confirm?

Thank you!
 
My parcel was received on November 12, 2019 in Missisauga by S. Wong. Hope I can get AOR soon.

One question is that, my husband is self-employed. I provided his NOA and a letter explaining his source of income. He has low income (about $15K annually). However, CIC does not have any income requirement for spousual sponsorship when the sponsor is only sponsoring the spouse. I hope what I provided is good enough for the finanical section!

Anyone has thoughts?

Since it is past the 3rd of december I would say yes, they have to be done.
 
Hi, I have a question. I sent my application for Sponsorship in November, but realized I might have submitted it incorrectly.

I placed the order of the documents as
Proof of payment
OWP Checklist
OWP Application
Barcodes
Sponsorship applications
Supporting Documents for OWP/Sponsorship

I only sent in 2 passport size photos, was I supposed to sent in 4? 2 for work permit/2 for sponsorship
The passport and marriage certificate was part of the supporting documents for Sponsorship/OWP so only one copy there as well.

Can you please let me know if my application will be rejected or is there anything I can do at this point?

Thank you!
 
Hi everyone, I m sponsoring my common-law partner who is inside Canada. I don't think we could get anything before Christmas
 
Hi All,

There are two options to pay the fees for PR application. One of the option has open work permit fee included with the PR fees (Total $ 1,380.00).

Do we have to pay the open work permit fee separately? OR It's accepted to pay all together with one receipt? (PR + Work permit)

Thank you!
