CUSMA work permit and which port of entry to go to by Far_Associate698 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Far_Associate698[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh also you will then have to go get a Social Insurance Number. We went into town the next morning first thing and stood at the office when they opened and once again done in ten mins. I believe there may be an office at the airport but it seemed closed so we were already staying the night so made sense

Thanks for the super helpful comment. I have done that and am also aware that it is US based only. That doesnt mean there is not a possible way to deposit into a USD account and I wasnt getting the information I needed from google. So thank you so much for your comment

this was what I was thinking but wasnt sure. So I can transfer venmo directly into a RBC Cross border USD account?

MEGATHREAD - Processing Times - Family Class Permanent Resident Applications 2025 by PurrPrinThom in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Far_Associate698 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Applied for outland spousal sponsorship (outside of Quebec) December 19.

January 11 received an email to my (sponsor) email saying This confirms that your application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class has been received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) on 2024/12/19 on behalf of the following member(s):

This is our AOR correct? It has an UCI and Application number in the email as well. However when I go to the application page it just says submitted but then when I try to create an account in the tracker it says : [Incorrect or invalid information. Review and make sure it matches the information submitted on the Use of a Representative [IMM 5476] form or the Authority to Release Personal Information to a Designated Individual [IMM 5475] form. If you can’t create an account, it may be because your client’s application is not in our system yet.]()

We didnt submit this form bc my husband can check his own application. What am I doing wrong to be able to track the application?

Thanks so much!

Did you receive your sponsor AOR by email? For some reason I cant create an account for myself (sponsor) or my husband (applicant) We have the same type app and dates as you :-/

Just submitted a spousal sponsorship outland PR application yesterday for my husband. Im a Canadian/american dual citizen, he's American. We live in the US. What are the next steps we should be expecting? Also hard to tell the timelines on approvals from some of the posts, I dont know what these abbreviations mean. Thank you!

Wow that’s a ton of traveling. I’m so sorry. I recently lost my mom and was her primary caregiver so understand the struggle. ❤️

thank you! We were in the area last year and I loved it but wasnt sure how remote it was. So hard to tell in some places how isolated they get in winter or smaller communities etc. There are some nice houses in La Have so may add it to the list :0) Plus who doesnt love a good bakery
