It's actually a bit normal for some people not to receive AOR. There are still people who are 48+ days since their application was received and haven't gotten SA yet. I wouldn't worry too much yet.

My mother has been saying the same thing. My cousins got their UCI number 2-3 months after filing.

Nope. Nothing, no number whatsoever. I knew I've been feeling very anxious for a reason. So I will call my lawyer, tell him to give me the reciept number. Call up CIC, and figure out why it's taking so long?
what about UCI number? does your partner have a citizenship certificate or something? i remember the first time i called CIC; since i didnt receive AOR.. after i provided my UCI; she put me on hold for 5 mins and then told me they did receive it. after a few days; i received an AOR and then a few days, E-CAS able to login..

however, i immigrated over a decade ago as a skilled worker; not sure if that's why my UCI was still there and able to use that to track this.

My lawyer doesn't respond well, he just says it takes 6-8 weeks and gers irritated if you ask him too much. So I don't have any info. He hasn't told me anything. 2 weeks ago he said he didn't recieve anything. So after being told sauga received the documents by courier, I have no other info. I'm so lost.

i think that because of the new system coming through soon, along with changes happening at CIC, that maybe they arent updating as often, and/or they are a little behind.

Either way, SA's will come through and then we're all off to our respective VO's. Can only hope they send all of us to Ottawa! That'd be nice. Otherwise, most of us have a good 6 month wait at the very least to go.

I've only today managed to get into my side of eCAS. Still can't access the sponsor side. Just mine.
I was able to access the sponsor's side once I got AOR1 but only today manage for my partner to get into her side.

Yeah, I wouldn't worry at all if eCAS only shows the sponsor's side for a time or vice versa. It can take a while to be able to fully access it. It's not uncommon for people to never even have their eCAS updated or to have it updated late.

Has anyone from April got their SA yet?

CIC received my application on April 4th, and I got my AOR1 on April 27th.

Thanks,
