Hello, I really appreciate your response. Yes, I meant the same. I just read the question for employment clearly now and it says submit original letter of employment and that confused me as my employer sent me a pdf which i printed and attached with the application, so after reading that I got worried that did I need a signed originals. Thanks
Then the electronic is 'the original.'

I can't speak specifically to this for employment letter (wasn't needed in our case), but, for example, PCC from the country we received it from is now only issued in electronic form; IRCC documentation still insists it must be original. It wasn't a problem.

In other words, IRCC is aware that this is how the world works now (at least for many things), and they're not trying to punish people for no reason, as long as the documents are genuine of course.

Makes sense. Thank you!

Hi Everyone,
I submitted a Spousal Sponsorship along with a Open Work Permit (Paper Based) last year. My wife got her AOR on Dec 2021 along with the creation of the online portal account. However she never received any AOR for the open work permit. Does anyone know how this process works.

Probably what the agent says, although that could change later.

But a question: can you name a specific reason for which it matters?

Anything that could change any actions that you could take? (My own view on above: it's more simple, complicated/hard files more likely to get sent to Delhi.)

Either way, your file gets sent where it gets sent.
