I just received my AIP today!! Omg I can’t believe my application is moving so fast. I’d get my biometrics done on wednesday, dec 20, I’d also get the OHIP with my AIP letter. ❤
Hi, so is the AIP you got saying this?:

It has been determined that you meet the eligibility requirements to apply for permanent residence
as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class. Please note that a final
decision will not be made until all remaining requirements for becoming a permanent resident
have been met. These requirements include medical, security and background checks for you
and, if applicable, all of your family members, both in Canada and abroad, even if they are not
applying to join you in Canada at this time. You cannot become a permanent resident until you
and all your family members have met these requirements.


I received this on email and so did my husband so I'm just trying to figure out if its the AIP/SA.

Thank you!

If received on the PA email, it's AIP, and on the sponsor email it's SA, so yep, all that's left after those generally is Background check, which is the longest step sadly.

Yes, I did read something stating you have to do biometrics again regardless if you did it before
Then they will let me pay again later because I got the letter and it says if we found out that you have to pay we will let you know. But I still don't understand why you have to give it again if you already provided them :)

Thats crazy fast and very lucky i guess. Never seen anyone get AIP before medicals, but ive seen if you have been married for a long time, it seems to be faster. If thats your case, then makes sense than someone newly married
Thank you so much! I honestly expected my app to move by January next year as I’ve seen on others they wait a month or two for AOR. We are actually newly weds, just got married August this year.
