Application lost by CIC-Please advise
I spoke with CIC call center. My application was received by Syedny CIC on 13of October and R.LAURENDEAU signed and got the application but I am still waiting for AOR. CIC says currently they work on October 19Applications. CIC call representative checked my application in the system and she told me it is not in the system and it may be lost, she advised me to reapply. The problem is that my original PCC is in the application, beside this, it will be very lengthy process to reapply. She told me that CIC call office does not have communication channels with CIC Sydney Office and my only option is to reapply. Is there any way to contact Sydney office and request them to check my application, I am sure they will have it as I sent my application via FedEx registered mail and CIC Sydney received it. Please advise what should I do?

But how are they expected to find you application in the system when they have not issued AOR?

I said to myself that I would't worry until AOR's were on the 80%... I'm from the 16th so is my time to get worried hehehe :S ... Or I guess I'd leave my worries for Monday.

I'd wait until the end of the month. By then they should have gotten through most of the big wave post-Oct 11.

I've also called them today, and was told the exact same thing. I did panic for a few seconds...but I am not going to re-apply, I'm just going to wait for a couple more weeks. I did specifically ask if they have any way to physically confirm the file is not at the Sydney office, and (of course) the call centre person said no, all they were able to do is checking the system electronically.

I applied for urgent processing (please stop asking me why, go read my other posts...), but I guess the agents won't actually see it until they were given the envelop. In other words, I guess security guards/people who receive the mail don't actually sort by any means.

I am in the same boat, Oct 16 applicant. Interesting enough, this could all be just a probability game...

I don't see how the agent is so sure that your application is lost. Oct 12/13/16th are still receiving AOR on a daily basis. I think you should give it more time. Those call center agents will have no information on your file till you get AOR. Calling them won't help.

Keep monitoring the forum. I would say give it till end of next week.
She checked my information in the system and told me there is nothing. I don’t know whether Syedney office enters application receiving information in the system before AOR or not?

Dude, not sure if you saw my post. I called today as well and was told the exact same thing you posted. I wouldn't worry - obviously it's not on their system yet. It's just not yet processed... Give it another 2-3 weeks and call them again.

I don’t know, and it is strange that CIC call office and Syedney Office do not community with each other meaning that there is no way to contact Syedney Office. And the call centers just tells you what they see in the system.

Dudes from Oct 16th delivered date and before,
Lets wait for another two weeks to see if we get our AOR. It seems many of us have not received AOR yet. It does not make sense that all of our applications got lost!

Well, I don’t know how to contact Syedney Office, I was also told to reapply as your application is not in the system. It may be lost.

I think we need to find a way to contact Syedney office, how they could lose our registered mail after receiving the application and signing the receipt.

You can write a letter to them through mail. But if you want to mail them who not mail another application with a explanation letter telling what the call center said.

Thanks for sharing, it is strange, I don’t know what to do.
