Twins! ;D Now we wait for SA. (Hoping it's not more than 2 weeks!)

Got AOR! Finally! My app was received on May 5th.

The processing has definitely has slowed down. :( April saw AOR times of 22-24 days on average. (There's a steady decline from January to April.) I'm at 28 days already having my app received May 5th with nothing. I don't know of anyone in May who's received AOR, so clearly it's not just SA...

It makes you realize that they're <b>highly</b> likely to lose documents if a conveyer belt is their system. If that theory holds water, then applications are no longer open in the hands of the two people I assumed would have them (one Mississauga office worker for AOR and SA and one VO...

My application was received the 5th, and I haven't heard anything either. You're not alone! I wonder if it's someone's job just to open the packages, check to make sure everything is in them, and then stack them in a pile for AOR—something like a conveyer belt. It's the only explanation as to...

Is there any reason why your wife can't enter into Canada? You're able to enter and leave with an Outland application under normal circumstances. The reality is that her passport isn't associated yet with the PR since your application hasn't begun processing. So, even if you had a fear they...

What? How horrible! I'm so sorry. I would double-check everything again (to be sure they didn't lose anything else), and write a cover letter explaining that it was sent back due to mishandling at the VO. I'm hoping they'll bump you to the front—or at least back in line—after reading that. :(...

Yep, just a copy of the marriage certificate. (Long form if it's one from Canada)

Anyone hear anything yet? Last I've saw an AOR being issued for March, April or May applicants was May 22 (according to a few spread sheets). Come on, CIC! :P

Yep! I saw the same thing. The time taken has gone down quite a bit since January, where it averaged 60+ days. I'm hoping to hear someone post about AOR any day now! I saw nearly all the April applicants on the spreadsheet for 2015 have theirs, including those on April 30. They should be on to...

Thank you! :D

Wow. It takes that long to extend a visitor's visa? I was told at 5 month mark of 6 month visa to apply for an extension. Was yours just a straight-forwad extension?

Thanks!

Welcome! I'm an American waiting for PR like your husband. Let's hope Ottawa is picking up steam. Welcome to the waiting game! ;D

Magic? No, really. I have no idea. Could have just been a poor estimation or confusion with someone else's application that came before yours? For those of us who don't have an existing UCI number, we'll get that with the AOR, correct? What happens if we don't get an AOR like rambopg? Is there...

Has anyone received the email with their AOR? I'm hoping to hear something in the next few days. The 2015 outland spreadsheet is showing that AORs are taking between 20-30 days over the last two months. I've never checked my spam folder more than in this past week. :D

I didn't sign any of the forms that didn't apply to me. I only wrote N/A. I just wasn't sure if the OP had filled it out and failed to sign it. (AKA was it a common-law application?)

Did you file as a common-law couple or as a married couple?

Sorry. I didn't see it. No need to be curt. Thanks for the info. Edit: That wasn't me you responded to, by the way. That was MrsHBKelly. We asked similar questions, but I had a few unique ones; no one responded to mine.

Hey, I have a question for you guys. Do the customs agents/border security know that you have an application in to the CIC for PR when you come into Canada? I'll be headed up in 8 days, but I still have yet to even receive an AOR from my recently-submitted app. I don't know if I'll get AOR...
