My mom applied online on August 2 (Vancouver-based), she's over 60, so won't need a test. Just checked today (Jan 11), still no AOR. Is such a long delay for an AOR normal/typical for Vancouver? Do the online applications get processed in local IRCC offices (i.e. timelines to even receive an AOR are different for different cities/provinces)? And "conveniently" for IRCC you can't call or do any inquiry without an AOR...

Send them a webform enquiry. Hopefully there will be some response.

Please update the spreadsheet with the following.

In Process: October 20
Fingerprint request: December 6
Test Invite: December 20
Test interview date: January 8
Test completed: January 9

My background is still in progress. Does anyone know how you will find out when they've received your fingerprints?
Background completed: January 12

It doesn't mention fingerprints at all but I guess they received them since they completed background check.

Ok, looks like we missed the AOR e-mail, but were checking the citapply-citdemande.apps.cic.gc.ca, I was expecting the AOR to show up there once assigned, but that website still shows "Submitted" and no AOR. Weird user experience, but I was able to register both mom and dad for the tracker and looks like things are moving along after all. Sorry for the false alarm.

Today I got an email for pcc

We did a soft landing and we went back after a few days. I went to my home country for a few days and then to the country where I was working. I stayed there more than 183 days. I had mentioned in the physical presence form that I went to country a and then B to wind up employment and housing etc.


They sent an email asking for pcc from country a. Not sure how they made the assessment. There are exits on my passport that say I left and came in. The country b does not stamp cause we have cards that allows us jn thru pasport control.

Long story short, pcc can be provided for country A as requested but I am not sure if that is the right approach

If they are asking for PCC for country A, you provide PCC for country A. It is not upto you if that is the right approach.
