Refer to the link. There is no big difference in processing time from AOR to PAL by province, so I don't agree with the province doing something. Before pandemic, it takes 5 months, after pandemic, 1.5 months. The strategy may be changed again.

AOR to PAL.is mostly processed by CIO Sydney, atleast in my case. After that the files which landed in Ottawa stayed on the runway. Recently they extracted record amount of dust from them :p

I know this from GCMS.

Hi everybody.
I have a general question since I'm new.
If AR means the time the letter is delivered by a courier or you will need to get extra confirmation from IRCC?
For example how we know if they really received the letter and it is not lost.

As I know, it is reviewed from the beginning if the primary visa office is changed. My friend got this email yesterday from Ottawa. The mail is different from others. Her AR is OCT 2018 and the stream is OINP international student stream.

Yes AR means when your application delivered, you can check delivery confirmation option while sending the courier. If you didn't receive AOR after 6-7 months, you call call or send webform to check status of your application, agent will let you know if they have your application or lost!

For the medical exam digital photo, our clinic asks us to upload the photos before the appointment. I am wondering can I just take the photo at home by myself without going to the passport photo booth? Or the photo requirement is as serious as the one for PR application?


Just use your cp. I just did upfront and they just use a cp in taking my picture.Not that serious

You will not get any email/main for AR ie PR packet reaching them. You need to track your courier and be happy. Once they issue AoR, then the AR date is mentioned in the AoR.

Thank you. From the courier side, my letter was delivered on 10st Sep (5.5 months until now) and I sent through Webforms several times but they told me the document is not in their system yet. I think based on the current situation it is normal. Am I correct?

Yes. Wait atleast for 6 months plus. Some very rare exceptions are there that get aor in 3 - 5 mnths

My AR is Sep 11, 2021 and I received AOR on Feb 15 2021. I think you should receive your AOR any time. Wish u good luck!
 
Please refer to her ECAS. It changes from In process to Decision made today.

How come it's too long? (From oct, 2018 to Feb, 2021 = 27 months), did she get the famous Sight Screening(enhanced screening) so it took that long. I don't know if i apply for EE, will my Security speed up or it's just the same when we face Enhanced Screening? Messy...
