Guys after having received the AOR this week, i have noticed some points/ changes:
1- They have stopped working on nominations and dedicated full power to issuing their 2016 quota of 5500 AORs,, they are now at count 3000
5500 for all program, Don't know exactly how many AOR they will provide. But they will give all of the applicants before they paused
2- They are fully digitizing our applications on some sort of a computer "system", that was affirmed by the operator guy answering the calls, and also this is in great agreement with their latest updates of launching an online computer system to monitor the cases and track them "to be launched soon"
It will be only for new applications
3- They will probably end their backlogs, having all files with associated file numbers, consequently start processing, hence they removed that 90 days promise from the e-mail and AOR pdfs.
They just want to cash the money as they Drafts are going to expire.
4- My speculation we should start seeing all the nominations rolling out after last February/March AOR has been issued, also expect a super fast processing speed after everything has been digitized and computerized. i.e. Nominations as fast as AORs for easy and straight forward cases.
I got my AOR 7.5 months ago!!! Don't know when they will ................. So, think how fast they are
Cheers guys
