Guys

Just received an AOR from CIC. I am surprised :eek:
congrats! I wish that was me... :) but it seems consistent, a few people from the end of May have received AOR recently.
Enjoy!

Why the hell are they sending out AORs for end of May but nothing for April??!!! It doesn't make any sense...

Congrats, though...at least now you know that they have your app...

CIC is really the Center for Insanity and Crazy...

Everyone has been complaining that CIC should send an AOR in the beginning and now they start and everyone gets mad. Sorry April and most of May missed it (me too) but it doesn't mean they're going to get approval first. Better not! I think it's a good change of procedure.

yes you are right canadiangirl78 because half the worry is in fact if the actually got the application...at least with an AOR you know it is in their hands!!!!! and totally right about the approval......probably with the new system they are scanning the barcodes and an automated AOR is generated......once it is totally consistent it will be nice for those applying in the future!!!

Awhile ago but I can't remember when they were required. February I think. If you didn't use the new forms you might have to send them in before approval.
