Glad to see people's applications change to in process recently.
And for anyone waiting, it will come soon.

But does anyone have any idea of how long we wait for the next step?

Cic website just states 12 months for processing time.
And i did find a forum post where some people have been "in process" over 3 months!
From what I read on previous applicants, that will be 2/3 months till test invite after being in process. Correct me if I'm wrong ~

Hi,

Got a questions - my details below, It was already 2 month since I mailed my applications, And I still haven't received AOR. is that common? My friend send his application same day as me and got the AOR within 1 week. I hope application is not lost. No idea how to check the status, as when I call at 1-888-242-2100 - I can't contact the representative as they 'experience high volumes of calls' and then system hangs up.

Hi,

I was in the same boat as you, mine came through after 2 months .. just like you I called and couldn't get through, and even tried to go to the website to check if I could see what was happening with my application and couldn't check that ... I am pretty sure they haven't even had a chance to look at it yet, but they will soon...Some people on the blog received their AOR after 4 months or sometimes even later... I suppose there are checks they conduct when they receive the application etc... did you get your parcel tracked or requested signature?

Either way, don't worry :):p:D

Both address are the same but pay attention!
One is for regular mail (CanadaPost) and another for courrier services (UPS, Dhl and so on). You can find the good directive in last page of CIT0002.:)
