Hi, I'm reading through a lot of pages.
I sent my application on 17th May and we still hear nothing. Now I found out people normally received a confirmation within a month, then I'm freaking out. Is there ANYONE who waits longer than one month to hear anything back from CIC?
PS. We're applying within Canada. I really hope we can get through this quickly because we'd really like to start a family. I also read through if I get pregnant before everything's done, life's gonna be so messed up. So the family life we're so much looking forward to is really depending on this application...
We sent ours in on May 19th and have not received an AOR either. We are also waiting to start our family until after this process is done too. It's so hard to wait, I know
I will just tell you our experience and what information we received so far directly from the call center agent. You may receive different information if you get through to a different agent or your situation is different.
We got through to the CIC call center one week ago, they said we should have heard back/received an AOR by now (again, the agent's words, not mine). According to the call center agent, the Mississauga office may have "lost or misplaced it and put it in the wrong bin or under a bin or something". The call center agent said they will send an email to the Mississauga office to inquire about where our application is. According to the agent these things happen due to the large amount of applications and we should follow up in a few weeks if we don't receive the AOR. We sent an email to our MP (just so happens to be Justin Trudeau) today explaining the situation.
