Hi, I was in a similar situation to you. March 26th application marked as received but come May 30th I still had no AOR. Checked all the emails, spam etc. and tried to call but no luck getting through. Eventually I tried to link the application with my existing UCI number from a previous application and was able to link both the PR and OWP and they appear to be being processed as normal. Just never received the AOR. I have spoke to several other people from March in a similar situation with no AOR and no application returned. I’m wondering if there was some kind of glitch. Also wondering if I didn’t receive AOR because I sent all my documents/schedule a and police check up front, so perhaps that had something to do with it. Though I am not at all sure about that. I think calling them is the best option since you’re unable to link. Wishing you good luck! Let us know how it goes.

I still feel the email went to somewhere. I linked my account in the daytime(I was trying to link it everyday after one month ), then we got the email at evening. The email sent by system, so my guessing maybe at March, the system had a problem. That's why your guys didn't get it.

Hi Japonesa!

It usually takes 4-6 weeks for AOR (so you should be receiving yours by the end of the month) and 3-4 months for the OWP. It's very rare (although not impossible) for people to get their OWP in 6-8 weeks unfortunately.

Thank you for the response☺

Hoping everything will be okay.

Checked my OWP application status tonight before bed, and it says it's UNDER REVIEW! Yay! Anyone have any idea how long approval takes once they're in the review process? I'm so mad at myself for sending the wrong fees and basically setting my application back 6 weeks - I would have been approved by now had it not been for my mistake!

Timeline:
PR Application sent 2018-02-06, linked online 2018-03-05
Sched A and PCC requested on 2018-03-05, submitted on 2018-04-01.
OWP returned 2018-03-14 due to insufficient fees - resubmitted to Vegreville on 2018-03-15, received by Vegreville on 2018-03-16, application linked on 2018-03-28
OWP "under review" on 2018-06-06

I believe that you should have OWP approval either tomorrow or early next week.

This happens to way more people than it should. You need to pay $255. You can go online and pay the extra $155 right away and then return the application. Unfortunately, this will put you back at the bottom of the pile of applications :(

Be sure to include a printout with barcode of your receipt for the $155
