I'm in the same boat as you.. applied online in Feb, 2021 and got an email last week for 'missing information'. The email asked me to log in to the online application, update and resubmit. Issue was with the application fee document as I uploaded the wrong pdf (I know, stupid of me!).

When I signed in, I could see the entire application back in my account, most of the info and documents I uploaded last time were still there but not everything. I did pay the application fee in Feb so uploaded the correct pdf. In addition to that, the physical presence calculator was removed so had to resubmit that with current date as it would not accept the Feb date (original application date) anymore. The photo I uploaded last time was still there but there was a change in specification for photo and photographer info compared to what it was in Feb, so I changed both of those as well. Made all of these changes the same day and resubmitted.

Feb applicants were still receiving AORs last week so most probably my application was picked for that, an issue was found and thus I got the request over email. It has been a week and I haven't heard back from them, and I think most of Feb applications have already received AORs by now so there's a very high chance that my application is now technically Aug, 2021 application and will be looked at again with Aug applicants.
After the initial burst with few Dec applicants, processing of online application only picked up speed in last few weeks so applications from earlier this year already waited a long time for AOR. Really disappointed that this error (on my part), have further derailed the process for me.
I think that unfortunately it's considered an August 2021 application now. However, I have seen cases where the application gets processed relatively faster than other applications because it was returned before. These applications were paper applications though. I am not sure about online. But, I think you will receive your AOR before other August applicants but not with other Feb applicants.

Good luck!

It depends on the office processing your application.
You can send a webform requesting urgent processing but there is no guarantee your application will be processed faster.

Yes, I used the calculator which was sent along with the application. I am aware of the cap, however the calculator takes care for it.
Not sure if the rules of the forum are allowing it but I can upload a picture of the calculator for more clarity.

Thanks!
As most of the forum members said....the cap is 365; hence any days over the cap will not help

I saw that online May 2021 applicants started getting their AORs. I noticed that AORs are slowing down for paper applications. Do you guys think that they put down paper applications for a bit to be able to work on online ones? If so, do you think they are gonna start sending AORs at the same speed for online and paper applicants once they reach the same approximate period for both (second third of May)? I hope we all recieve our AORs soon.

Good luck!!

Not sure online applicants will get AORs at the same rate as paper ones.
We will see June applicants hopefully getting AORs starting week 2 of september.

I agree it is slow now.
I mean it is so hard to visualize that from now until oath cermony, we are looking somewhere around July-October 2022 under normal circumstances.

Hi guys,
I sent my paper application on Jun 07, 2021, still waiting for the AOR. I have recently changed my address, is there a process for notifying CIC about the change in address?

Thanks.

Its better to wait for AOR this is what customer service agents would generally recommend

I am preparing my documents to send out this week, and I would be grateful if you can help me with some questions.

1. I am going to send paper applications for my husband and me. Do I need to include a marriage certificate if both applications are going to be in one envelope?

2. To list all addresses and work experience, do I need to start from the date of my eligibility period indicated in the Calculator even if I have been working at the same position 2 years before and at the date of the eligibility? I am confused about the date I need to start my work experience.

Thank you
