submitted on Dec 11 and got BIL on Dec 12, and that's it for now
oh and background processing started.

I dont know why, but OWP is not appeared on the Tracker

OWP won't appear on tracker. It's a different application therefore you will only see it on gckey

Application submitted - November 2
AOR - November 28

Pre-arrival services letter - December 12
Eligibility completed on PR tracker - December 11
AIP - December 18

My husband just received sponsor’s approval in his email. I still can’t believeeee

Do we usually get an email for Pre-arrival services, AIP & SA? How do you know that these are received?

Yes. Pre-arrival services is found on gckey while AIP will be received by principal applicant and SA will be received by the sponsor, both emailed by the IRCC.

Hi everyone,

I applied for inland spousal sponsorship on November 7, 2023. I also applied for my visitor record on November 14, 2023, as my Visitor visa expires on December 14, 2023.

I received AOR today - January 3, 2024. Now I am about to apply for my Open Work Permit where in the questionnaire I was supposed to answer "When does your status in Canada expire?". Suppose I give December 14, 2023. I have to restore my status by paying $229. I am unsure if I have to do that as I already have applied for a visitor record which is in progress and am currently in a "maintained status". What date should I give and does it matter?

You should have already your visitor record my partner did that and it took exactly one month and they gave him a year.
They will ask for a proof of status in your owp application and currently you have only your confirmation of submission for the visitor record

I am not sure why they haven't processed the visitor record yet. In the OWP application, looks like they only ask for the family member's proof of status - meaning the spouse. I also understand that I can't give a random future date on the date of expiry. I will better call IRCC/wait for my visitor record extension.

I guess you are fine, in their website they updated their explanation https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...mmon-law-partner-canada-open-work-permit.html

Hi everyone!

Since we are using a lawyer for our application, when I tried to use the tracker it has the lawyers email there. Is there a way that we can use the tracker without having to keep bugging the laywer?

Thanks!
