Made a mistake while submitting the application. I by mistake submitted the copies of the Police clearance instead of the originals.
Do you guys have any experience on this ?

Hey guys,

My application was received on October 17th and still no AOR. I just got off the phone with cic agent. He was really convincing me to send a second application. He said it won’t complicate things, incase they find my old application. I been following this form for a while, and I’ve seen few Oct 16 applicants get their AOR last week. So I been keeping my hopes up.

Should I go ahead and submit a second application or should I wait until the end of January?

Note: Agent said their only closed dec 24, 26 and Jan 1st only.

Based on my own story below I will advise you give it some time:

Not that I am very worried but for curiosity I decided to call IRCC. The agent I spoke to informed me that my application has not been opened. She painted a scenario which looks convincing to me. She said that they have few staff working on about a total volume up to or more than 6000 applications submitted in just October (an all time high from a single month). She said that Agent 1 may have finished the share of the October applicants he/she got and moved on to November applications assigned to him/her while Agent 2 is still working on the October applications. The processing speed varies from agent to agent, however she encouraged me to call again by the end of January 2018 if I have not received an AOR. The first sign that my application has not been opened is that my old house address and old email still shows up in their system under my file.

So fellow Octobians let us exercise patience, relax, enjoy the Chrstmas season and avoid panic.

Actually what prompted my curiosity was that last week Tuesday I sent out a CSE for a possibility of urgent application for me due to latest development and the reply I got today was not too specific, it gave 2 options to 1. Download forms and apply for urgent application if I have not submitted an aprocessing 2. To call the contact center if I have submitted an application to determine if I am qualified for an urgent processing.

I already did and they asked him to wait for another month.
Getting sick of waiting. Almost 65 days till now after two applications sent and no AOR nor the applications back. I even contacted Canada Post to open an investigation and those ones told me to wait till the end of December.
Everyone cannot give you an answer about your application; if it is returned or lost by them. They do not like to get responsible for this.
I will wait until next week then I will reapply.

Any recent AORs?
People who have not received AOR yet - what strategy you guys adopting?
Waiting for 12 weeks as per CIC agent or resending another set?

I would have "liked" this 100x if possible. You need to keep copying that to people.

Thanks for sharing the link. The link is the official document of the consequences for submitting multiple application and seems scary. Yeah I have submitted my second application because I was told to do so. I don't care if my application is delayed for this reason.
The only reason I was rushing because I thought Canadian passport is visa exempt to visit Russia for the Fifa world cup. Seems Canadian too required visa to visit Russia. So I am not rushing any more. I just regret sending the second application.

My friend, we will wait for until mid-Jan then call CIC to take a serious action, otherwise, we do not have any other option but to reapply.
Pray for you and everyone who is spending his whole day and night expecting that "Do Not Reply" email.
