This is outrageous.
I wonder what's their rationale for processing applications submitted so much later??
I'm not sure as well. I guess they don't give out AORs in a linear fashion. Probably depends on the complexity of the file and the VO handling it.
Those are most likely applicants from the US. Theirs are processed faster than everyone else most of the time.
Mostly the PA's are from Europe and New Zealand if I'm not mistaken to the latter.

Yep. Those are included as well. They tend to process applications from developed countries faster.
Outland applicants. You can check the September Outland thread.

I am a July 31st applicant - no news yet!
I was actually able to get through to CIC this morning, and was told (by the VERY nice woman) the same old story
"We are currently working on applications received up to July 24th. Call back in 2-3 weeks if you have not received anything, as you are still in the normal processing time"
She was very very nice, but did not provide me with exactly what I wanted to hear! lol
I try very hard to NOT compare myself with sponsors/PA's from other countries.. because yes, each situation is different
For me personally, the AOR is such an important step because its like them saying - yes we received your application, everything looks good, you get approved as the sponsor, and we are going to progress to the next step.
For us people who have not yet received AOR , we are still in constant fear of something being wrong with our app/ it being returned/lost, etc. after all these months of waiting
Hoping that we all get some news within the next 2 weeks!

I agree. Also I am thinking that they open all applications as they receive them and quickly look through them. A late Sept applicant also from US got a file number. So that means they open them and see which country and if easier to process they hand it over for processing while others do not even receive any correspondence from them at all. But some June and July applicants are still waiting For AOR...
