****SEPTEMBER 2018**** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA
- Thread starter lchaleleng
- Start date
Hi everyone,
After 90+ days waiting for a response to my wife's outland spousal application, I received the acknowledgement of receipt email containing the application number and UCI number. I was unable to link my application online despite entering the correct information exactly. I have read several posts of people who were able to access the information right away. It seems like an arbitrary system, but I just want to confirm that I'm not missing something.
Also am I correct in that the medical request should be coming shortly after that is linked? I'm not quite clear on what kind of timeline I can expect based on the AOR coming three months in as it seems there is not even consistency on what applications are processed in Canada or forwarded to the respective embassy for processing. What kind of timeline are you guys working with for having your significant others in Canada?
Thanks!

Could be multiple issues! Kindly check spellings, typos, etc. I kept entering 1 in the number of applicants involved. Technically, it's 2 - 1 for a sponsor and 1 for a principal applicant, plus the number of children (if you have any).
Every timeline is different as it depends on the officer processing your application. In most cases, either sponsorship approval or a medical request should follow few days or a week(within 2 weeks for some), after you received the AOR.
Note: The UCI number on that AOR is the sponsor’s UCI, and not the principal applicant. Better to use other combination such as the application number and the PA’s passport details.
Not the same. It is a “unique client identification”. They will give a different UCI# for the PA and dependents(if applicable)
Once the application is linked to gckey acct, the PA’s UCI # should be available in the account.
Thanks for your reply!
I'm positive there were no typos but the number of people on the application thing confuses me. My wife is the only one applying for PR status but I assume I'm also counted. I'm not sure about our son who is a Canadian citizen or her son who was a "dependent" (by their strange definition of this) at the time of submission and whose info was included with our application.
I also don't think this is the issue since I tried every permutation - 1, 2, 3, 4 - for that box but it would be good to know.
Also I'm wondering if my wife's older son will be asked to take a medical. Due to the extremely long time between application and AOR, he soon will no longer be a dependent by their terms. But if the request comes soon, then he is. (He is a self supporting adult and not coming with us).

Thanks! I hope this is the case. My understanding is I need to get the online account connected to be able to upload the medical certificate? Is successfully creating the account contingent on sponsorship approval?
I'll take your tip in the second reply about different information to connect the account. Thank you.
I know it's hugely variable but from these initial approvals, would I be incorrect, in your opinion, in estimating that we'd be about six months or so away from everything in the clear and family in Canada? Thanks!

So 3: sponsor, PA, and her son
I entered 2 in mine, me as a sponsor, and my PA. I did not include my Canadian son.
By successfully creating an account, it is not a guarantee for sponsorship approval or the success of permanent residence application. It is a tool where you can track the updates and progress of your application. It is also a way wherein the officer can communicate with you by sending you messages if there are other documents they need from you like the medical request, etc.
Anyone in here got their applications sent to Sydney then transferred to Mississauga then transferred to Manila..how annoying! How long does it stays in Manila before you could hear from them? Coz heard that office is worst than a cute turtle..
