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.
That must be either a typo or the agent was messing with you with Some BS - they close on 24 and 26 but not on Xmas day, the 25th?

To all october applicants who didnt receive their AOR;
I share you the same feeling, my appliation was received on 23 october and no AOR till today. No worries and no stress, be relax! , CIC will find them soon and proceed fast to catch up in time . i have 3 previous experience for my PR renewal and my wife sponsorship, they were late 3 months to send me AOR but after that it took them few weeks to take action.

personally i didnt call and will not call, and I bet you all that your applications will be in process before end of january and will be be given priority for us to be on time with others!

happy holidays to all!
keep walking :)

Even so, 24th is a Sunday - I would put too much into what those agents from call center said
Even if they were working today, it's likely going to only be a half day, consumed with a holiday party to boot. Not to mention, they know there isn't any mail going anywhere for a few days, so they probably aren't getting much done anyways. That's okay. They deserve a break, too. :D

Hello, how can I get discover Canada on a cd?? I drive several hours every day and it would be more convenient to listen to the book than reading it.
