"This required special measures including the reassignment of staff from other departments."

Our application used to be handled quickly in Mississanga then we got transfered to the slower sydney office. 1+1=2. I fully support the Syrian refugees. But I do believe it is the main reasons why our applications are delayed.
Last year, it took an applicant 13 weeks to get AOR out of CPC M, and 8 weeks or more was not at all uncommon. AOR timelines have always fluctuated. There is not timeline for AOR and people should not come to expect it. The only timeline given is a target to process 80% of applications within 12 months. Otherwise IRCC has no obligation to provide other updates like AOR within a certain time frame.

AOR Received.
25-09-2018
Hi all.

I got my AOR today with a file number. When I logged into eCAS, it says "Decision Made" for the sponsorship application and "In Process" for the principal applicant's application. Does this mean that both AOR1 and SA are done?

FYI, my application was received on June 28th.

Thanks!
I just received another email stating that I am eligible to be a sponsor. eCAS shows that they started processing my application only 2 days ago. It was just lying there in the system all this time.

Sometimes they sent SA or AOR by MAIL to the sponsor...that's why it takes 9-10 days to reach ...

I guess if they had sent it by mail it will take awhile to get to us here. Both PA and Sponsor are in Brazil :D:D

Thanks for the reply!

That is odd... Did her bring something to the physician to perform the exams? Because I would assume that if you don't have the instructions/papers that the physician would not do the exams. She did her use a panel physician?
