I have noticed from the posts, it takes about 2 to 3 weeks to receive the AOR from the date the application delivered. My app was delivered to CIC on 29th Aug. I did not get the AOR so far. From one of the posts, I could see AOR has been received for App delivered on 18th Aug.

Has any one received AORs for Application delivered after 18th Aug?

Hi there, can anybody help me in determining m eligibility to apply for citizenship.
I've heard that some part of stay in Canada with Post graduate work permit is also counted.
I am a permanent resident since a year exactly, and I have lived more than two years in Canada as a worker with PGWP.
How to check whether I am eligible or no, and when can I be available.
Please reply,
Thank you

My application was mailed on aug 15, delivered on aug 19 and I'm still waiting for the AOR. PATIENCE IS THE KEY!

As of now per PR time is not counted. Current rule is 4 years (1460 days) in the last 6 years. So under the current law you would be eligible to apply in 3 years. The law might change this year or next year to 3 years and maybe pre PR time counted again.

I have applied for citizenship on August 26, 2016 and the application was received by IRCC on August 29th, but I haven't yet received the AOR, is this normal or should I call IRCC to follow up on my application?
I realize some applicants are receiving their AOR's in less than 2 weeks!
Please advise.
Thanks

It can take up to a month+ to receive AOR. I think waiting for at least a month before calling would be advisable.
