No you need not be worried. I have mailed my application and it was received on June 5th. I have not even received AOR & I expect to get it by October first week.
Hmm, thanks. I'm just wondering whether the processing time on the website means the time it takes to pick up your application or actually process the application and send you a new card.
I would think it means the time it takes for your application to be completely processed and the decision made.
If you still haven't got an AoR and it's been 90 days (Jun 5 to Sep 5) already, I would think something is wrong right?
It'll probably be at least 60ish more days before they update your status. Mine only just changed to 'application received' yesterday and they physically received my application on June 11th. Up until then it just said there was no information available, which is probably what you're seeing. The current processing time is 93 days I think. They don't appear to update anything until they are actually getting ready to start processing your file.
Ah, okay. I always interpreted processing time as complete processing i.e. they pick up the application, review it and make a decision. They should really change the title of that to "Pick up time" to eliminate any confusion. Honestly, the IRCC is making it hard for themselves and applicants by giving zero information after an application is sent. There should be a staff member picking up the applications, sending out AoR's days/weeks after the application is physically received and people would be much happier and less anxious about their applications that way.
