I submitted my application one month ago and haven't heard a word. I know there is a 60 day delay on sponsorship applications, but I was just curious if they even received my application. Do they send out any kind of acknowledgement when they get an application? Email? Letter? Or do I just have to wait till they get to my application?

You will not hear back till you are closer to the 60 day mark. They will send the AOR a week or two before getting the SA so unfortunately all you can do now is wait.

Did you not send it with either a tracking number, or delivery confirmation?

Unfortunately (and for no known reason) some people never receive AOR.

You should receive AOR within weeks from the day CIC recieved you file so you are likely to receive an email within the next few days. 3-4 weeks after that you get the sponsorship approval decision.

Ah, so basically it's probably sitting on a pile right now, and won't know anything until they review it?

Thank you for asking the question, because I was just wondering the same thing (kept wondering what AOR stood for, haha).. We sent in Aug 17 and just this morning I got confirmation from Canada Post it was delivered. Unfortunately I didn't know that signatures are not included in Xpresspost and you have to ask separately for them.. the guy never offered the option to me. But oh well, at least I have tracking and confirmation it arrived there and now knwo to expect something in 3-4 weeks.

Does anyone know if the "time" starts ticking from the day it was received, or from the day CIC sends the acknowledgement 3 weeks later? It would make a difference to the police certificates that we sent in...

I got an email from CIC! They received my application. It took 30 days from the day the package was signed for at the post office. Just a heads up for anyone else with this question.

Thanks Celcius, we're on a similar timeline so fingers crossed we hear off CIC soon too!

Even though we had a signature to say it had been received, we're anxious to hear from them.

Here's hoping we get our SA's soon as well!
