I have heard of a return from the 11th of December.Date of Application: 2023-11-29
AOR Received: no yet
I believe they are moving with returns right now. Most officers that have been assigned these applications must be on vacation. While the officers that are working cannot move too far ahead in terms of AORs yet as this is a first in first out program.
So, the officers that are still working have probably been told to move on with returns, because if the application is incomplete, it was never first in to begin with and so they can return it to clear up their database.
Once all the officers return, probably like the one that has been assigned to your case, we will see more movement from earlier dates and hopefully more AORs. This is just my opinion, no official word on this.
Though if you think you might have missed a document or made a mistake, I would advise you to send a webform as soon as possible. I have heard that the anchors can call IRCC and have them track the applications through their UCI, this is not verified though. Even applications without AOR are assigned a temporary application number, if you can some how get this number and mention it on your webform. It will be easier for the officers to track your application and attach the document. Please keep in mind though that even if they attach the document to the application, it does not guarantee that the officer reviewing your application will consider it as part of your application. Worth a try either way.
If you know your application is complete, you have nothing to worry about. The very best of luck, I am sure you will hear back soon!
