SOWP, Spousal Sponsorship, Inland application 2023 LATEST PROGRESS
- Thread starter vivianroy
- Start date
Did the sponsorship application reach AOR? (i.e. did sponsor recieved email to confirm the IRCC received the application and an application number is provided?)
If so,he can apply for OWP once he is inside Canada. If not, then he needs to wait for AOR, then apply for OWP.
Hello, thank you so much. One more thing, i have my Pr Card and have done my first landing, my kids are yet to do their first landing they have COPR. is it safe that i come onshore alone and apply spousal sponsorship while my kids remain offshore until their copr is valid? Or i should bring all kids onshore, they become confirm PR then i apply sponsorship for spouse. Thank you so so much
I don't understand your question. Your kids have COPR but haven't landed as PR yet? They should come and land before their visas expire.
Their landing is not directly related to sponsoring your spouse. But it gets complicated as they will need to be included (assuming that they are you and your spouse's kids) as dependent of your spouse if they are not PR yet. They are not until they landed.
And will need to update all the forms once they have landed later as PR.
I am not sure if I have answered your question correctly since this is a bit unusual to have included children as dependents in your own PR application but have not included your spouse/include as non-accompanying initially. (and sponsor the spouse later on)
Thanks that answers my question. Someone misled and told us to take federal ITA , even though i had provincial and could have added my spouse
So, I received my eCOPR and thought I would reiterate my timeline for anyone who is in the same boat as me could follow:-
