From my status update above, one thing is quite puzzling me. They say they sent this book on 7/March/2013 but I haven't received till date. That's like what 2 months delay? I mean, we all know about how lousy Canada Post can be sometimes, but I guess this lousiness is even lower than Canada Post's bar for lousiness. I guess the CIC is mailing the package only on the day it starts processing the application. Then why say (lie!) that it has already sent the package on the very day it received the application and indirectly imply the mail delay is why you would not receive it for 2+ months? Quite baffling. Am I missing something here?

The issue is with e-CAS not being modifed for the new changes on the application processing (a.k.a Language + CBSA Consent). CIC sends the AOR package on the day it starts processing the application.

Thanks Intel for sharing this insight .
 
My partner's ECAS status shows Application Received and AOR + booklet sent March 14, 2013 as well as processing started May 8th and here I was freaking out about Canada Post losing our docs since we had not received anything yet! Guess we should be getting them shortly. Someone should start a tracking spreadsheet with everyone's info so we can keep track of our applications and try to estimate timelines...
 
received acknowledgment letter today by mail.
