@maria_mirabela: how was your trick-or-treating adventure? Were you able to convince someone to pony up the candy?

You're just getting started. ~4 months from the day they got your package. Some have been able to link their OWP. We didn't bother and just before 4 mos it showed up.

Perhaps those people can share how to link it. It seems to me that if you have a representative (lawyer, consultant) they will only be able to see your application.

I guess i will have to call in to ask in maybe a few days. I am a bit concerned if they got the right package for my OWP application or not, because i missed one receipt for my OWP application in the first submission along with the PR application, and then i immediately sent the complete owp application again with a cover letter. Fortunately, two package have arrived in the same day.

Btw, wondering how long does it take usually for the AOR2? or maybe in some cases there is no AOR2 at all ?
My AOR1 was received by sponsor, is it the same with AOR2?

or if both you and your partner are in Canada (I assume this is the case): http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-personal.asp

ok, so I am running through that form, I click that I am a Canadian Citizen, it asks if I am asking for myself or on someone's behalf so I click myself (wondered about this since I am wondering about my wife's application so kind of on her behalf, but I am part of the application so decided to just click 'myself')

then I get to the end and it asks if I am requesting info on "Privacy Act" (no charge) or "Access to Information Act" ($5).... which should I select? (I'm kind of thinking the $5 option... which then brings me to a screen that asks "Information for Surname______" ? do I put my name or her name?

then it asks "type" and there are 2 that seem to fit "Permanent Residence" or "Family Class Spouse in Canada Class" .... which is the one ?


more complicated questions come after that... I exited it and waiting for replies as I don't want to do it wrong

Privacy Act. But in this case you should act as if you are your wife and then have your 'wife' ask for herself. She doesn't need to be a Canadian Citizen to ask, she only needs to be inside of Canada. I think the wording is 'Person in Canada' or something like that in the drop-down menu.

but it says this at the start: "*To be eligible to make a request, you must be a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident of Canada or an individual or corporation currently present in Canada. Please select the category that best describes you. "

ok I read that more carefully and it says " currently present in Canada"

thanks


should I also do one for myself as Sponsor and would it have different note based on my "In Process" Sponsorship?

We didn't because we didn't think there would be anything interesting in there, but yes, you can request the notes on the sponsor.

 

[volkov]

do we ask for

"the electronic notes of the immigration officers"

OR

"the application and supporting documents sent to and from IRCC"

?


edit: ok I went with "electronic notes"


got to the end and there is an "attach documents".... consent form, etc.... I don't see any so do I just skip this? edit: skipped it

We did this:
- apply for privacy act
- filled out consent form. My wife section A, me section C. Upload that file at the end of the process when it asks for attachments.
- you're requesting information for yourself. Make a note in the text field that you want sponsorship and permanent residence application GCMS notes. You can also request medical notes if that's of interest or concern.

EDIT: polarvolcano's way will work too. But they may redact personal info for the other party. So if you follow that method, request a set for each of you.
