2018 Spousal Sponsorship in-land Applications: timeline and updates

[iamvenus]

@iamvenus hi venus! i just want to ask, if your owp+ext is approved will CIC email you or the sponsor? i cant link my owp stilll im getting worried about it. thanks!

They should email you, the applicant. Have you tried calling? Ugh, I really hope they've accepted your application.

I tried to message you privately, but it won't let me. Anyway, what have you done so far to link your OWP? What I remembered with mine when I was trying to link my app, I intentionally left the needed info blank and clicked Search, then supplied the needed info with red arrows.

Use the last name, first name, date of birth option.

tried the name and date of birth, still no go. i will call again on the 20th. i think it is accepted because the lady said it is there and i paid all the dues and sent all the paper work. hopefully it does.

I also had issues linking my husbands OWP application. I realized that his UCI# is different than mine. If you have linked your PR application, click on the "full application status" button. In there, there will be a different UCI#. As soon as I used that one I was able to link my husbands OWP to the account.
I used UCI#, family name, and passport number!

Good luck!

It showed in account if you have linked. And it will be a letter in the account too.
After approved, the real visa will come to you mail in 2 weeks.

No, we actually did not... We were very persistent in checking the account 2 times a day, as we knew it should have been there soon.

Hello Everyone,

I went to check for any updates on my online application, and the below message popped on my computer screen. Please let me know if this happened to you as well. I want to know if it's my account specifically, or if the system is down/maintenance. I checked the IRCC twitter and it states that some systems are having technical difficulties. I just want to confirm with all of you.
Thank you!

I got it as well. Probably minor, will be fixed soon, and have no impact on actual processing.
