Hiii
This is for all those who's still waiting for AOR when everyone else applied around the same time has already received it (I am in the same boat so I did some research and found this)...maybe you'll find this helpful as well:
- Go to ECAS website
- Try logging in with your UCI (the 8 digit no. on your work permit) and see if your status is showing up as 'In Progress'
- If it is showing up as "In Progress", it probably means your AOR was issued but got lost in somewhere, but your application is fine - it is getting processed. If you want to receive another copy of AOR, you can either call or email CIC and ask them to check if your email address on file is correct and resend the info. I think the email address is "CPC-CTD-Ottawa @ cic.gc.ca" (I'm not 100% certain though, please correct me if I am wrong.)
My application was received on Oct 14th, but no AOR as of right now. I was really worried until I learnt I can check ECAS even without an AOR.
My status is "In Progress".
