So officially, you're supposed to inform them if you are leaving Canada for more than 2 weeks (the official link was posted in another thread). You can choose to inform then closer to your leaving date.
Some people choose not to inform.
Not sure if this fills me with a lot of confidence. IRCC has published its backlog

Is the "within standards" time 12 months or 26 months for them? This info answers some questions, and raises others.

Hi everyone my application was received on July 20 ,I have tracking confirming this, however I still haven't receive an AOR and the application has not been returned. I already call IRCC and they didn't provide any information basically they just told me to wait since they couldn't see any application in process.
Is this normal?
I'm just worried my application got lost or something even though I have the tracking number confirming the delivery to the right place.

12 Months. If you click on "Service standards" on the page, it will take you to this page with the details: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/service-declaration/service-standards.html
But I don't know how they define percentage of backlog that is within and without service standards. If, for example, every application takes 24 months to complete and the flow of applications in and out is constant, then at any time 50% of the applications would have been in the system for less than 12 months and 50% for more than 12 months. Do they count this as 50% of applications being within service standard, or 0% of them being within service standard, given that all of the applications will take 24 months before completion?
Hi
I had the same experience. I applied last september (2021) and was waiting for AOR till February. Since I am staying at US I couldnot contact CIC through phone. I tried to contact them many times through webforms and finally i got an answer on March 2022 saying that they did not receive my application. But when I track, it was delivered CIC office Sydney. I still don't know what happened. I was so worried and tensed that time.
So I filed a new application in March and now waiting for my Oath ceremony (on 2022 March application, NOT september 2021 application).
Thank you for sharing your experience, I will try to contact them again in a few days to see what they say now.
