October 2024 - Inland Spousal Sponsorship

[Thinn]

Do you think if we were able to link and see the PR application no., does it mean that they have already reviewed all documents and AOR is ready to send out?!

I wouldn’t know about that

it’s most likely the case, but i’ve seen someone who can link but never see the AOR nor any further updates, on the bright side there is no return either but it’s kind of annoying

Has anyone been able to use the UCI number and other information to link the PR application with CG key? It seems that without AOR people can still link their application and see the PR application number.

For the SOWP do we need to have the AOR pfd or can we simply put the PR application number that we can see after linking?

Were you able to link your application with gckey? And have you received aor yet ?

Hey, my partner(the PA) and I (the sponsor) applied for common law sponsorship on Oct 25th 2024. We applied via an immigration lawyer.
All we see on the pr-portal is “submitted” neither the applicant nor the sponsor have received any communication from IRCC.

if anyone else has the same timeline as mine, can you please tell me what to except next? I read people talking about about some GC-key portal, how do i access that? And who needs to create a profile the applicant or the sponsor? And will either of us be receiving any communication or will it be sent to the lawyer?

I called them

 

[tejasmpatel24]

I called them

thank you for letting me know.

Will it be possible for you to share the number on which you called them? And what information was asked from you? And should the sponsor or the applicant call them (or does it make no difference?)

you can’t access GCkey with a representative, they will receive all communications on your behalf
when you get the AOR (from them) you can create a tracker account to track the progress
