Wow! awsome news! congrats, mine was received on Dec 13, I feel excited and anxious now :)

I think you're the first 'Decemberian' to get approved 8)
 
Congrats Kiwi!! One of the first from December to get approved for
Step 1!!

Yaaaaaaaaa hoooooo! Getting closer guys :)
My application was sent out on Dec 13, 2011
 
a few more details -

we didn't receive any kind of AOR.
until today we couldn't access e-cas, we tried using the receipt number and my husband's name to no avail.
after receiving the sponsorship email, we tried using the UCI number at the top of the PDF attachment and my husband's name, and were able to log on. however, beneath both 'Sponsorship Application Status' and 'Permanent Residence Application Status' it just says 'Application Received.' when you click on that link, it says that means 'We have received your application and will review it in order of receipt. We will send you an acknowledgement letter.'

this just confirms again that getting AOR seems random, and that the e-cas status won't necessarily match up with the true status of the application.
 
Guys what does an AOR stand for?

Hi, I don't know what it stands for but it refers the CIC's acknowledgment of the receipt of your application

Hi Irenz, is that only applicable to Irelend?

No I think it applies to anyone from a visa exempt country. I found a list on the CIC website for visitor visas so I guess its the same?

Congrats on getting your sponsorship approved already Kiwicanuck! I'm so excited now! :D

it stands for Acknowledgement Of Receipt!
 
Hi guys! I got an e-mail from CIC this morning saying that they recieved my application on Dec. 6th, 2011!

I thought it got there on about the 2nd or 4th but oh well! I am just glad to know they got it and to hear something from them! :D I feel a lot less stressed out now!

that's so good to hear. I have sent my application on December 13, they must have received it on 16th but they have not contacted me at all. I've heard only some people get AOR. Congratulations!
