You gotta wait.. AOR can take anywhere from 2 to 4 months or even 6 months for non express entry applicants. In the recent times, AOR are being issued sooner. If you look at applicants from 2021, many waited almost 9 months to an year just to get AOR.

Also since your AR is 2 months ago..calling IRCC this soon isn't going to help much. Wait for AoR and then wait for some more time to get updates if you don't see anything moving. A revert on webform query can take about 3 months or more.

As NON-EE applicant, you will never know what actually is happening on your file and then all of the sudden, BAMM.. AOR. You link your file to GCKey account and you feel you're on top of the world.. Then some silence and BAMM.. MR or MP directly (if exempt) .. then again some silence to make you mad and go panic, can't sleep at night making you think WTF is going on...did I do something wrong? You start getting this feeling that you're being treated as garbage already in this stream And when you are almost at verge of flipping your desk upside down, BAMM.. you get ADR or PAL. If ADR, you rush up to fill some documents and wait or if PAL which is good indicator that your file is moving.. but then the come big F**** silence.. (check member SCW or mudmovergeorge timeline).. and then when the lords think you're done begging enough, BAMM, you get portal1 and then you know the rest of the story.


My AoR took 92~ days, and got MP right along AOR. Waiting for that BAMM moment, and though the silences is killing me already, I tell myself - there isn't much I could do right now so why think too much.. Enjoy the wait time and hope you get your AOR soon.
Thank you so much for this relaxing and extended reply. I felt like I am not lonely in this cruel world. I can feel the BAMM moments. Hope you will progress to the next step soon.

Hello guys, I’m new here and planning to submit my PR application (Non Express entry PNP)
Can someone explain me the meaning of the following short forms;
AR
AOR
PAL
MR
MP
Portal 1
Portal 2
I would be really grateful !
AR-Application Received
AOR-Acknowledgment of Receipt
PAL-Pre-Arrival Letter
MR-Medical Request
COPR-Confirmation of Permanent Residence
 
I have a question about how the ADRs come. Would it come in your messages section under the IRCC account, or it come via email?
Then, do you send the file via email or submit it under the IRCC account?

Guys I have a question
There was a mistake in my Schedule A form when I submitted my application for PR. Now I received Rprf request yesterday and today I got PAL. So do you guys think they will ask schedule A or no after PAL
 
Is there anyone who has "Interim work authorization".
Interim Work authorization says that "will temporarily exempt you from the requirement to hold a valid work permit in order to work in Canada. This exemption will be valid until May 31, 2023, and will enable you to work while you wait for a new work permit."

Government Canada sent Interim work authorization to PGWP holders to maintain their status until get a new permit.


I was PGWP holder. I applied for PGWP Extension visa (I am still waiting.) / technically, I do not have a visa. but I can stay and work legally as mentioned above.

Is it gonna be no problem to get approved PR??..

I appreciated any reply.

Thanks.
 
Hi, I applied for PNP online (non-EE) last year Feb 12.
Jan 30 received first contact when my application was linked to my cic account. It was request letter for fee payment. I paid fees immediately, but its been two weeks no more contact, no AOR nothing. Any similar situation?

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to ask about the policy guiding the submission of passport during the PR approval process. At what estimated lenght of passport validity would IRCC reject one's passport based on date of expiration? Is it 'not more than x months before expiry date', where x could range from 1 to 6? Is it that it must just remailn valid at the point of submission even if it remains 4 days before the date of expiry?

That being said, what is the grace window for passport submission. I am asking because passport renewal in some countries could take up to four months. In such a situation, what does one do if passport request occured when one's passport is still with the immigration of one's country for renewal?
 
Well my friends my journey, which is longer than what my signature suggests, has finally come to an end. Today I can finally rest easy knowing that I have permanent status and can finally say I'm part of Team Canada, although Team Canada never made me feel like I wasn't - I needed to work hard and be patient to earn it.

My full timeline:

PNP Non-EE: BIL - Done in 2019 | AR - 8 March 2022 | AOR - 3 October 2022 | GU - 9 November | PAL - 10 November 2022 | GU - 14 November | MR - 15 November 2022 | MD - 17 November 2022 | MP - 24 November 2022 | GU - 24 January 2022 | Portal 1 - 25 January 2022 | Portal 2 - 27 January 2022 | ECOPR - 15 February 2022 | PR Card - ?? | ADR - None!

Primary VO = Sydney / Secondary = Ottawa / Issuance Office = Calgary (West Landings)

(Interestingly, my background check was completed on 9 November.... I knew it because it had already been done on my IEC visa. I felt they sat on this application longer than they needed to...)

Closed WP: AR - 30 March 2022 | Decision Made: 31 August 2022 | Work Permit Received: 6 September 2022

SINP Process: AR - 15 February 2022 | Nominated - 22 February 2022

IEC Visa: ITA - 13 October 2019 | Submission = 2 November 2019 | Approval = 4 November 2019 | Activation of Open Work Permit at Port of Entry = 10 October 2020

Oh, and here are the other attempts I made....
  • Being short by 1 fucking month for CEC-only draws, when my 428 CRS would have just scraped by = August 2021
  • The year I failed an IELTS test (due to very poor preparation) and thus failed to make it into the EE pool (my points were too low anyway) = August 2019 (P.S. after that I prepared for my CELPIP hard and scored all 12s in March 2021)
  • The year I got engaged to (another) Canadian and she bailed on my spousal sponsorship application = August 2018
  • The year I hung up a Canadian flag on my bedroom above my bed, hoping someday I'd get to permanently live there = August 2017
  • The year I failed to get acceptance at a university in NS to pursue a Master's due to a technicality, which would have made me eligible for EE upon completion = September 2016
  • The year I got and failed to activate my first IEC visa because I got too scared of moving to Canada alone early in my career = October 2012
  • The year I got engaged to a Canadian and she bailed on my spousal sponsorship application = October 2011
  • The year I fell in love with Canada and knew I wanted to live there = February 2010 when I saw the Vancouver Winter Olympics
  • How many holidays I took overall in Canada = 7 x 3-6 weeks at a time
