I will share my timeline below. After all, I referred to this forum when I first apply for PR years back :)

I am sharing my application timeline and adding it to my signature.

Any advice or insights on what to expect next will be highly appreciated.

Thank you :)

Has anyone received the AOR email 2 times ? My wife and kids got the AOR emails once on June 2nd with me, and again today. The date on the AOR has changed but everything else is the same. No updates in the online trackers at all. What could be the significance of this ?

Could you guide how you applied group applications?
Means your and your wife applied separate separate and how much fees for kids? How you link all applications linked?

much appreciated if you reply please

Applied by paper applications as it was required when we applied - all 4 separate applications sent in 1 single envelope.

Did IRCC requested a document from you, and you had to submit it separately?
No document but on June 5th, they had sent an email and wanted an explanation for a 2-week gap between the validity of my wife's passports. We had just replied to the email with an explanation that it was a gap between passport expiry and renewal and no travels had occured during that 2 week gap. Would this explain the fresh AORs ?

Hello

Please add my application to tracker sheet

Location: Vancouver
Application: Family (5 - 2 Adults + 3 Minors)
Physical Presence Days: 1095
Type: Paper
Application sent: 18-04-2023
Delivered: 21-04-2023
AOR: 13-06-2023 for the 3 minors and didn't get the AOR for myself and for my wife


I need your expert opinion guys. As I stated earlier, starting 6 pm PDT, I got the AOR for the 3 minors with 7 min gap between each AOR. Still I didn't get my and my wife's AORs.

Is there any explanation for this?

My understanding is that for a group, if there is something wrong with an application, they tend to return the entire package. I am aware that this didn't typically happen with @josh_1982 and that they returned only his application. However, based on his timeline, the AORs for the his wife and kids were not sent out until he resent his complete application (although he got his AOR 12 days after his family)

So, since I already got the AOR for the minors, would this mean that the parent's applications are good and it is just a matter of time until we get our AOR? (otherwise how the minors AOR were issued if there is something with the parents applications)

For @yankyridzz , may I ask how long did it take your spouse and minor to get their AOR after you got yours?

As you have filed a paper application, do you see your and your wife's citizenship application in ECAS - https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do
