To answer the original question...

Yes, when you have received an official AOR from CIC, that means that your application package was opened and the required forms and signatures have been verified by someone at CIC.

It's still possible that they can ask you for something now, but the chances of your entire application being returned (meaning you lose your place in the queue) are much smaller.

The following is found on CIC document IP 8 (page 28):

Initial receipt and coding

An initial process occurs on receipt of every application, including those involving Quebec applicants. This process includes information gathering, record creation and administrative steps to ensure that initial evaluation can begin. This process includes, among others, the following steps:
verification for completeness;
• return to sponsor, if application is not complete, or acceptance by date stamp receipt;
• creation of both a paper and electronic file;
acknowledgement;
• request for any support documents or information that may be missing;
• verification of and possible printing of the FOSS and/or CAIPS record; and
• electronic transfer of biodata information to CPIC.


Acknowledgement, is AOR.
