Derp, silly me... I should clarify, what I just said is if you applied outland.

The Mississauga office is currently processing applications received on or before May 16th. Several people who applied in May are receiving sponsorship approval (SA) and no AOR prior to that, and one person who called CIC was told that they will not be issuing AOR anymore. It's taking over 2...

We called our lawyer on Thursday to see if she had received any news from CIC on our behalf - nothing yet. Have you guys checked out the processing times for stage 1? I checked yesterday (Friday) and they had updated to... same thing! They are *still* working on applications received on or...

Congrats to all those who received SA today!!!! Getting nervous here... Our application was received on May 14th and we haven't heard anything yet. Half expecting we'll get a request for updated Option C printout since my wife hadn't filed her taxes for 2013 at the time and we sent the one for...

Asad, several May applicants are in the same boat, myself included. If you haven't done so, take a look at the May spreadsheet - so far, only 4 people who applied in May have received SA and many others who applied during the second week of May haven't received AOR yet. Don't worry too much -...

Well I don't know if our lawyer organized everything in folders, but we had so many pages due to the communication proofs (phone bills, Facebook, e-mails, text messages) that the package sent to Mississauga weighed around 11 pounds. I don't think it matters how many envelopes you use.

Not only that, but according to CIC's newly updated operational bulletin on conditional permanent residency, CIC will do random checks in addition to responding to tips. I wouldn't risk it - right now it seems you are on good terms with your common-law partner, but if she were to become angry at...

The age gap may be a red flag, so I would send everything you just mentioned plus a personal letter about how you guys met, fell in love, dated, etc in which you address the age gap.

By the way, congratulations!!!

AOR is just a message letting you know that they have received your application. SA usually follows close behind, and some people get both on the same day. Already there is a May applicant who got SA without getting AOR, so getting SA makes getting AOR a moot point since you are already approved...

That is awesome! I was under the impression that sending more documents before getting AOR and a file number made it very hard for Mississauga to link those documents to a specific application, so this is nice!

Haven't heard anything yet - our application was received on May 14th according to Fedex tracking. They haven't changed their processing time (still 55 days) even though they are getting delayed. *sigh*

It's very frustrating to see that the spreadsheet for May is filling up so slowly... The people whose applications were received within the first week of May are just barely getting AOR, well over the 55 days for processing time for SA that's posted on the CIC website. No idea what's holding...

Congrats to ydj_dil on receiving AOR and uskyoot on receiving SA! Looks like the pace is finally picking up.

I've heard sometimes CIC responds by regular mail even when given an e-mail address. They're a bit unpredictable on their method of communications.

Tanya, those reforms have been in place since late October of 2012 and only apply to those people who have been in a common law relationship or marriage for two years or less, and have no children in common. sheng has a child with her husband, so this does not apply to her. However, she and her...

It seems my wife and I may get a request from CIC for missing documents too... We sent her Option C printout from 2012 since we hadn't done our taxes for 2013 yet at that point, and by the time we got her Notice of Assessment the application had already been received by Mississauga. Hopefully...

Thanks! I just added myself to the spreadsheet.

Hi! I've been lurking around this forum for a while so I decided to join. My wife is a Canadian citizen and I am from Mexico. We sent in our application through an immigration lawyer and it was received on May 14th as per tracking. Getting really excited/anxious about getting AOR! Cheers!
