Spousal sponsorship
- Thread starter Leon
- Start date
Hi there.
As far as i know, it is said that the sponsor should nit leave canada for more than 3 weeks while your application is being processed. That becomes a red flag and might cause trouble later on. So i would suggest to talk to some consultant before taking a decision.
Could someone explain or send a link about what the duties of the foreign visa office is? What exactly do they do? Do they, for example, verify the genuinity of some official papers sent to Canada in the spousal application?
Why some applications are sent to the Mississauga Visa office and some are sent to foreign visa offices near where the applicant is from?
Also, are the excel sheets showing some statistics filled out manually in each stage by someone? I noticed the applications sent to the Mississauga visa office appear to be updated more frequently on what stage the application is at when compared to other foreign visa offices.

Question: OWP "Rejection"
Background: I submitted my paper OWP & Inland PR applications and they were received October 30, 2019. Online my OWP app was backdated to October 23 (I guess this is procedure, to backdate 1 week from receipt).
Since 5+ months have passed with no OWP approval, I submitted a webform inquiring about its status. I realize everything is slowed down because of COVID-19, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. Side note: I am still in status and was at the time of my app submission.
Today I received an email from IRCC stating that "We verified the information on file. However, it has been determined that you do not meet the eligibility criteria." (I have read and re-read the eligibility requirements, and don't understand why or what makes me ineligible. But that's besides the point of my post).
However, in my GCKey my OWP Application status still says "We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you."
Now, wouldn't an OWP rejection be noted and status changed accordingly in my GCKey? Or am I to take the email decision as final? Wouldn't I receive some sort of notification (other than an email response to my solicited inquiry) that my OWP was rejected, and possibly an explanation why?
Thanks to all that can provide any insight.

Given that the eligibility for this OWP is incredibly basic (be in status and apply inland), I would guess it is still in process and the Webform you sent was not really reviewed. What is your current status and when does it expire?
Thanks you for the quick response.
My current status is Visitor and expires in ~2.5 weeks. I am set to to apply to extend my stay as a Visitor, but was hoping my OWP would come through before then.
I finally sent the application package! It arrived on March 31st. Does someone have any idea when I'll be able to link the application to my online account? Thanks!!
Yes, you do, but you need to get AOR when they put you into the system and you able to link it.
oh, I see... then I'll forget about it for now
The AOR comes by mail or email?Thank you!
Depend on what they got from you, if they have your email/address they can send email/to your address.oh, I see... then I'll forget about it for now
Thank you!
Mines came by email to the sponsor, as both PA and sponsors emails were provided. AOR took 2 months to come.oh, I see... then I'll forget about it for now
Thank you!
I have a query regarding signatures for forms that require signature for both the applicant as well as for the sponsor.
The applicant is in home-country. So when the applicant signs the forms , what date should an applicant type for the sponsor's signature ? As in the PDF , one should chose the signature date separately for each person. Sponsor would be receiving the printed forms to Canada, after one week or so. So the applicant should type the estimated future date ( in front of the sponsor's signature ), print them and then send them to the sponsor in Canada ? OR leave the Sponsor’s signatures date blank and once the forms are received by the sponsor, then the sponsor write the dates by hand ? Please advice..
