You are way past AOR if you already got BIL, medical etc.
Did you get any email that has the application number? That's AOR. There is no "AOR" in the email wordings.

Yes, i got to know my application number in the mail when they requested for additional documents but its not the AOR. I called IRCC and they assured me that it would come. I guess my application is just moving fast without the AOR. I think someone may have missed sending it.

Why would you need an AOR, if your application is almost completed and you managed to link it to your gckey account?!!!

Did your sponsor provide with a different email address? The AOR email is usually sent to the sponsor.

The letter starts with wordings like:
this letter confirms that your application to sponsor a member of the Family Class has been received.....etc.
It should have been sent out soon after or before your other requests once the additional documents that were requested are submitted.

We checked sponsors mail and her application status, perhaps i should check her GCKey .Called IRCC and they confirmed that it has not been sent. I guess i'll just apply without it as my application has gone past that stage.

If you create a tracker using the sponsor UCI number the application number and information of sponsor you can see if aor was sent

Thanks. I had done that over a month ago. Its not there! The only thing i/m seeing on the sponsors tracker is 'Eligibility status has been updated to Completed' on October 2nd

On the application tracker site mine shows
Eligibility: Not started
Medical : Not Started
Background verification: in progress
Biometrics: in progress

I thought Background verification was the last process. Has anyone gotten than on an inland spousal sponsorship?

The process really doesn't follow the chronological order suggested. Background verification can be initiated at any point in time. The earlier it starts, the better for your entire application as it tends to be the most time consuming part of the vetting process.

The strange thing is that it does not show a UCI Number nor does it show the principal applicants name,

It simply shows below

Date
Application Number
ADDRESS

Dear (SPONSORS NAME),

This letter confirms that your application to sponsor a member of the Family Class has been received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) on 2024-08-23.

Is this normal?
