According to Canada Post my Application was delivered 13 February 2014. I didn't get AOR letter and the Ecas shows nothing at all so I called CIC today and the agent told me that there are issues with the Ecas system so it might be delayed. The most strange thing is that she confirmed that my application is on the system but they will not send AOR letter because it should have been sent already and since they didn't then I shouldn't expect one.
Did it happen to anyone else?

Your submission is still very recent. You won't be able to log into e-CAS for another couple of weeks. Currently it takes 2/3 months(from the day the app. is received) to be able to access the status of the application on line.
I applied in November 2013, and was only able to access e-CAS in February 2014, and only received AOR/book in March 2014.
You will be fine; you just have to wait, like everyone else.

It's too early to have received AOR in the mail.

My application was received December 5th (more than two months before yours) and I didn't receive AOR in the mail until mid March.

Hi kelshaer,
I see in your spreadsheet AOR disappeared column. Does that mean anything significant?

The column is for "received line disappeared" from ecas.

Oh, so you were able to see it on-line... That was indeed fast.
Well, the disappearance of the "received" line may be good news; however, don't rely on that too much as even good news can take a while with CIC..

I have seen cases of people that after the received line disappeared their e-CAS no longer worked for a couple of days, but it came back with the line regarding the Test/or Oath ceremony. Hopefully that will be the case for you.

If you want to still read the study guide, here is the on-line version: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/discover/read.asp

The sheet is for all year 2014 applicants. In my case, I didn't even get the ecas

The disappearance of the "received line" used to mean transfer to local office from CIC-Sydney, which meant someone had started to work on your file, and test date was to follow. These days some people still experience that, while others don't.

I called CIC once more. They said that my AOR was sent Yesterday and they sent me the email of their ecas technical support to send them my information so I can see the ecas.
:D

Great!. Just FYI, the process of citizenship is picking up speed. But not necessarily sending out the AOR.
Also, if the AOR is lost by mail, the CIC will send you an email with an e-copy of the book. It's not that important to have it on hand.

Guys, MnD and KelShaer Submitted their applications in Jan and Feb of 2014. So, they should have received their AOR by now - it's been an year!

MnD and KelShaer, I would suggest that you should do a ATIP request on your respective files. Did they atleast give you an Application Number? If yes, use that in your ATIP request. Also, consider sending a case specific inquiries if you haven't already.
