Seems to be a strange thing going on with late July-mid August applicants. The average time for AOR1 has been reported to be 50-60 days.
SEPTEMBER 2019 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship
- Thread starter loocha
- Start date
If I understand it correctly, you'll each get an applicant number (as technically you're sending 2 applications, one to be a sponsor and one for the principal applicant to get PR) once you receive your AOR (acknowledgement of receipt). From what I'm hearing that's taking anywhere from 30 - 60 days after the application has been delivered.
There's a great link earlier in this thread about linking accounts, if you haven't already I recommend reading through that!
i tried to link the application in the last couple days but when i put my information it says that theres no application .. i think i should wait and try to search for the application each day.
Application delivered and signed for October 1!Hi everyone!!
How long has it taken people to receive a notice that their application has been received, and do you get it by email? We sent ours 6.5 working days ago and still haven't heard back.
Application Sent: September 13 from England UK via tracked and signed Royal Mail
Handed over to Canada Post and left UK: September 14
Application Received:
Sponsor: Canadian Citizen living abroad
Principal Applicant's Country: England, UK
Dependants: None
good luck everyone!
... it took AGES to clear customs and get through the sorting centre in Canada; UK Royal Mail mentioned that Canada Post has been "in a bit of a shambles lately" (direct quote), so word to the wise: if you can, send it via a courier, and definitely don't send track and signed to a PO Box as it may cause a delay (we made that mistake ... oops!!)
Hello everyone,
Received an email from the IRCC, presumed to be what is called an AOR1. I was also able to link the application using the application number and my wife's family name. Good progress thus far hope that continues.....cheers.!

You need to link your application to GCKey. (Although this is an optional step but helps in faster updates and processing)
The next official step is the approval of the sponsorship. Good luck
HI, how can we see the sponspr approval or how they send us that or what is the way to look that?

Has anyone who already received AOR, been able to link Application in GCKEY? I maxed out 5 attempts in last 24 hours and it says, cant find application. However I can find ECAS status seperately for both sponsor and applicant.
Try entering number of applicant as '2'.
Also try linking with application number and name. I linked yesterday.
