Am i the only one who is surprised that 1st August approval was wth AOR 27 August and not from earlier date

PS : No offence to you @AmiDeep , happy for your result
Probably. Not surprising, but hope you get it this week!

The applications are not processed chronologically. It depends on the simplicity or complexity of the application as well as the VO office's capacity, among many other factors. My AOR is on the same date (A28) as theirs. @AmiDeep, that must be relieving! :)

Congratulations!
In your CIC account, does it state that you passed Eligibility, Criminality and Security? or you just got these updates from the agent ?

I am 09th August AOR and I finally got to know today after calling the IRCC helpline that my Security/Eligibility/Criminality passed. (i got a ghost update yesterday). So, i am assuming you all would be seeing movements in your file very soon.
That's lovely news, thanks for sharing.

What is your AOR?

Based on progress tracked here across few folks , I feel the applications are progressing really fast since Jan after not a lot of movement last year. So, we all should see some real progress this month. what is your AOR?

I have the same thing exactly, except that my biometrics are still not complete, I am supposed to be biometrics “Exempt” since I already gave biometrics in the past and are still valid until 2024.
AOR August 5th.
