For all those patiently waiting here is what had happened to my friend last year when she applied. Her app was received on August 20t 2014, she did not receive any word from CIC until October 3rd 2014, thats when she got AOR1. After that a few weeks later she got SA. The second part of the papers were sent to Vienna, her husband had received PR on December 17th 2014. She had paid CIC in full, the 1040 dollars, had all the papers done as well as did the medical before sending it off. I followed and did the same thing as she did with my wife. Hopefully this can give you guys some sort of timeline to look forward too.
