October 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

[maxshrike]

OK, now to linking to GCKey- Having troubles here so far. I have my UCI and Application number from the AOR email. I log into my GCKey account. I chose PR, Family, Spouse. Questions:

1) Next they ask for passport or place of birth--> WHO do these questions apply? Primary Applicant or Sponsor?
2) Then for count of # persons on the application- Is it 1 (PA only) or 2 (PA+Sponsor)?

Or, do I have to wait a few days to link?

Thanks in advance!

All information that you need to enter is for the PA, i suggest you to use family name and application number, and about the # of applicant include your self put 2
you can try 5 time every 24 hours if it does not work you have to wait until tomorrow

For the applications received on October. Are there any update on your application after receiving AOR1? Please share if you have any new information or updates .

Mine still the same after receiving the AOR1 " in Process".

I have noticed on other threads that getting Sponsor approved very quick.

Seems the trend from CIC is to give the AOR1 and then work in a batch, which I feel is a good initiative as people would be relaxed to hear their application is not returned..
Track the google sheet.. no one from October yet receive the Sponsor Approval(SA)..
in September sheet, generally people are getting SA in a BATCH..5th, 12th November..
since 23rd September AOR1, people are waiting for SA...so, accordingly you can guess for October group...maybe it will be start after a week...

Seem like they do separate between visitor visa and permanent residence visa. My husband paid for the biometrics for me too even my previous biometrics recorded valid date until year 2029.

I paid the Bio fee. But, after I linked to GCkey, it showed the visa bio-metric info in the application. I am not sure if this will change or not. Probably if they do not ask for another Bio in next 2-3 weeks, that will be it.
Also, you can give your Bio inside Canada too. There are various office in land.

Thanks Behbeh! Fingers crossed you won't need to re-do it! I checked the cic's website for biometrics enrollment places in Canada, but I'm not sure if it's available for people who want to apply for permanent residence as the website stated --

As part of the permit issuance process, Border Services Officers (BSOs) will biometrically enrol travellers who are eligible to make an application at a Port of Entry (POE) for a:

• Work permit,
• Study permit, or
• Temporary resident permit

I linked using my(sponsor) gckey login...
tricky part is the number of applicants...It should SUM (sponsor + PA + any kids)

Still not able to link my application. Not sure what seems to be the issue

Hoping you all get it soon! I'm still waiting for AOR, despite the fact they received the application on 1 October There really doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to this!

For all those who get their bio metrics from Temporary Resident Visa. You have to get a new one for your Permanent Resident Application.We missed out the payment for biometrics because were assuming that the TRV biometrics will suffice, but they requiring a new one for every Permanent Resident Application. CIC just email us that we need to pay for biometrics again for PR app.

Btw, we got our AOR last Nov 8, 2019. Paid the Bio metrics fee last Nov 12. Still waiting for MR and SA.
