Spousal sponsorship common law partner
In land application

Date applied:13 oct
Got an AOR: 9 nov.

I am a principal applicant, My PGWP expired on 6th February 2024. Before it was expiring, my plan was to maintain the status and then apply for spousal sponsorship file.

I applied on 13 October 2024 and got an AOR on 9 November 2024. As soon as i get an AOR i wanted to apply for open work permit so i contacted one immigration lawyer and she checked all my documents and she told me that in order to maintain the status after the work permit was expiring, i applied wrong kind of visa ( i applied for visitor visa instead of visitor record that time).

She told me that you have fallen out of status long time ago and you can't apply for the open work permit now. So, Basically When i filed my sponsorship application i thought i had Status but technically i hadn't.

What do i do now, how is it gonna affect my sponsor application? Should i let the ircc know about this whole situation? If yes, how do i do that ? Should i let the ircc know about this whole situation? If yes, how do i do that ?

not sure how you mention your status in the forms, so raise a webform if anything needs to be corrected, other than that just wait
as for open work permit, you can apply when you got AIP (if you're still interested by then)

I received a document via physical mail and I am not sure whether it is AOR or something different because it wont contain the primary applicant name and UCI number.

But it contain the following information

Application number:

Bar code:

Full Address:

Dear "Sponsor Full name"

This letter confirms that your application to sponsor a member of the family class has been received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada ( IRCC ) on "Date".

Next Step:
.....

Application submitted on 15th November
Physical mail Dated Dec 3rd but received yesterday due to Canada post issue

Can someone confirm whether it is an AOR or something different?

Sounds like AOR but you said there’s no UCI?

did they gave 6 months OWP extension? In my case the PGWP gets expired on April 2025. If i apply for SOWP will I get extended for another 6 months( April + 6 months extension)?

Yes. After you apply online, IRCC will send you a letter in your account (WP-EXT except PGWP) that you can use as proof that you’re authorized to keep working for 180 days or until a decision is made on your application, whichever is first. You can find more details at https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...nada/permit/temporary/extend/after-apply.html

Hi everyone,

just noticed IRCC updated timeline for in canada spousal sponsorship to 24 months. Will it affect all of our files?
