I just checked my application and it’s been updated today to include this message - “Your application is taking us longer than usual to process. About 20% of our applications are more complex to process. They take us longer due to things like how easily we can verify information, how well and...

Very helpful, thanks for sharing! It’s good to see there is some progress in this stream :)

Wow! I can’t believe how they seem to just neglect this category. I never would have even applied if I knew processing time would increase to almost 4 years! I’m really hoping someone here gets some good news/movement soon to give the rest of us some hope!

Thanks for sharing your timeline anyhow. I hope you get an update soon!

Ughhh it’s definitely discouraging how slow things are still moving. Sounds like some people who applied before June 2020 have reached the next steps after AOR/biometrics but its definitely been quiet in here lately :( I hope you get an update soon

I was wondering this as well, and also what the timeline was like after biometrics for those who applied earlier in 2020. Now that I finally have AOR I’m getting antsy Any status updates from anyone who applied earlier in 2020? Or does anyone want to update us on their timeline so far? This...

I just did this yesterday, you just log in to your online account and if you scroll down a bit there’s the option to link a paper application to your account, just click on that and it walks you through the process. There’s a few options to verify your application such as your passport, UCI and...

Thanks so much! It feels weird that things are finally moving after a 2.5 year wait

Thanks so much! I hope you also hear something soon, hopefully also today or Monday

Crazy timing since I just posted an update yesterday but I wanted to let you guys know I just received my AOR & permanent UCI + biometrics request. I just linked my application to my online account and it says 99% complete with estimated completion date of May 24th, 2023. My application was...

Ah that’s good it’s moving along but not a good sign they’ve skipped past us December 2020 applicants. The latest I’d heard of was people from November, 2020 getting AOR in March/April so I thought the recent strike might have delayed things for December applicants. I applied from within Canada...

I applied in December 2020 and no updates since Temporary AOR. Based on others from October and November getting AOR recently I’m hoping to hear something soon!

Congrats to you and your family! I did the same thing and was approved for the student permit in September 2021, I started my studies in January.

Hi everyone, Just thought I’d share my timeline in case my experience may be helpful to someone else! Dec 20th, 2020 - application sent from within Canada (applied while on a working holiday visa) Dec 24th, 2020 - application received Jan 15th, 2021 - Temp application number & AOR March 4th...

Yes I’m still in Canada on a work permit currently which will expire soon. I will probably apply for a visitor record extension next as I have enough savings to stay here and would prefer not to travel until things settle with covid. I applied in December 2020 and received temporary AOR in...

I also applied from within Canada. May I ask if you are still here in Canada awaiting a decision? If you are, were you able to get a work permit while you wait or are you here waiting on a visitor record extension? Anyone else who has applied from within Canada?

Hi, I sent it via UPS so used the address for applications sent by courier as follows - mmigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada Self-employed Class Centralized Intake Office 49 Dorchester Street Sydney, NS B1P 5Z2 Canada

Thank you! NOC 5221, applied from within Canada

A temporary AOR only lets you contact IRCC with questions and is a notification that your application has been received and on which date, but it will not allow you to link a paper application to your online account. The actual AOR will come after the application has been checked for...

Hi everyone, I also received the temporary application number today. Timeline 12/21/20 - application sent 12/24/20 - application received 01/15/21 - Temporary AOR
