After nearly a year of working on our application (this stuff is not for the faint of heart!), with long delays because of difficulties obtaining a Cambodian police certificate, we sent off our Inland Spouse Sponsorship Application + OWP on October 2. It was delivered on October 3 and signed by S Wong. Now for the waiting...
Reading this thread I realize I overpaid my fees. Paid biometrics fee for the application and the OWP. Hopefully that won't cause issues.

Congrats! Why did it took so long? It seems this application is stressful for many. Check on the website if it's possible to have it refunded. I think if you paid wrong fees you can ask for refund.

The NOA with line 150 (Total income) and the signature by hand next to the written name on the Schedule A form. It was sent back October 7 and I resubmitted October 8.

Is NOA mandatory? They have mention to share expalanation letter if you cant provide NOA. Even I gave explanation letter. God know if officer gets convinced with it. If this is the first year you are eligible for tax then only in year 2020 one can file his income and taxes.

Yes it is mandatory cuz they wouldn't send it back and highlighted to the letter of returning if not. But yea, it was stated to write an explanation if you can't provide any of the docs that they're requiring. From the July applicants, one of them got their package back too cuz they didn't provide the marriage certificate and they wrote an explanation that they're still waiting for it to release and they will just send it too as soon as they get it but they still sent their package back.

If you can’t provide a NOA because you aren’t eligible for tax yet/can’t file a return because of this and you stated it in your letter then you should be fine. This is a good enough reason in the eyes of CIC.

What they don’t accept is ‘I don’t have it because we haven’t received it yet’. This isn’t an excuse. That’s why the July person got their app returned to them. You’re not supposed to send in an application that’s missing documents just because you’re waiting to receive it in the mail and don’t want to wait to send in your app.

As sponsorship is a year long process, they might ask for your 2020 NOA at a later date.

Who are you sponsoring that you need to provide NOA?

Thanks for the clarification.

My spouse and noa is one of the requirements listed.

The waiting is the worst part and then you start to think if you didn't forget anything or if the documents will be send back because of something else....
