so how can I know if they have requested social assistance check ? I mean is there any way to find out I have placed an order for notes and waiting. Just received AOR on April 28 2021 but still haven’t received any SA,BIL,Med so I think they have requested social assistance check. Please let me know which department should we call in Alberta to check if they have received any request from IRCC
You can only know after you receive your GCMS notes. You can contact Ministry of Community and Social Services.

None of these checks are immediate. If it takes multiple months then you you can try to intervene. The social insurance checks are likely not done everyday and may be done in bulk on a certain day.

aor 1 on April 28
Send email to all the email addresses on the link. I did this and was contacted by someone from my local office. They also called me to confirm they have responded to IRCC. I got biometrics letter yesterday barely 12hrs after the call. No SA yet but you don't get biometrics letter if sponsor is not approved.

Hi!
Is there any document/authority that can prove that the sponsor has not availed social assistance/EI? (For Ontario)
Our file is undergoing social assistance check, but there has been no movement on the file since more than 2 months now. So we are looking to proactively submit some proof that we've not availed any social assistance.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
