Spousal sponsorship

[scylla]

Hello everyone! I’m new here. I would like to know after submitting an Outland spousal sponsorship online how long it will take to get a response from CIC, anyone? Thank you!

It will be a couple of months before you hear anything.

Hello guys!! I want to make an inquiry, I am dying of concern I am being sponsored by my wife, she is PR in Quebec Canada, we have been waiting for the CSQ for a month and 15 days and still nothing we have a deadline for send it on October 5 and we are worried, we send an email to visas office to report this delay from MIDI and they do not respond, we received the letter pre arrival services on September 11 but since then nothing. I have not yet been asked for my medical examination and i don't know if this is normal
Thank you

While signing all the forms can both the sponsor and the applicant write the dates with pen?

Hi, my common-law’s application (PR +OWP) was received on Aug 2nd and we received AOR email on Sept. 7th.
Back in March, our application package was returned due to missing signatures, ending my common law’s implied status. We got her status restored but now it’s expiring on Sept. 30th.
My question is, should we extend her visitor record or is it certain that we will get her OWP since we already have received an AOR?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

AOR does not ensure that she will receive the OWP.

How to link an application

1. Go to this page https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account.html
2. If you already have an account, just log into it and go to step 3. If you don't have an account, choose either "Continue to Sign-In Partner" or "Continue to GCKey". Attention! To find out the difference between these two, please see "Questions and Answers" section below in this post.
   If you've chosen "Sign-In Partner", create an account with one of them. If you've chosen "GCKey", on the next page click "Sign Up" and create an account. The process of creating an account is similar to signing up on any other regular website, so it shouldn't be complicated.
3. After logging in or signing up on the previous step, you will see your account page. Click "Add (link) your application to your account".
4. In the Category select Permanent Residence (here and below I will imply you've applied to sponsor your family member and will suggest options based on that. If your case is different, choose whatever option applies to you).
5. In the Sub-category select the class of your application. For example "Family Class (Common-law partner)" or "Family Class (Spouses)".
6. In "Application details: Please select one" select one of the four options. If you know an application number (if you've received AOR previously and it contains application number), you can select "Application Number and Family Name" option. If you don't know either application number or UCI, then select "Family Name, Given Name and Date of Birth".
7. Enter the required information.
   Attention! You need to use Primary Applicant's information, i.e. PA's name, PA's date of birth, PA's UCI, etc.
   Attention! Enter the information exactly as you did in your application form IMM0008.
   Attention! A sponsor and a Primary Applicant have different UCI numbers. If you have received AOR1, it has sponsor's UCI. Do not use it! For more details about UCI number please see "Questions and Answers" section below in this post.
   
8. In the "Applicant's personal information" section select either "Passport" or "Place of Birth".
9. Enter the required information exactly as you did in your application form IMM0008.
10. In the "Other Application Information" select the province and the city you are going to live in as you did in the form IMM0008.
11. In the "Current marital status" select the status that applies to you. If you are a common-law, you will most probably need to select "Single" (as reported by members on this forum).
12. In the "Number of family members, including the primary applicant, that are part of this application" enter 2 if you are sponsoring a partner with no dependents, and enter 2+number_of_dependents if you are also sponsoring any dependents (your or your partner's kids).
    Attention! Even though in the form IMM0008 you entered 1 as a number of family members including in the application (or 1 + number_of_dependents), you need to enter 2 when linking an application. I believe this is the most major issue people struggle with. Please make sure you entered 2 (and +1 per dependent if you have any).
