Hey guys,

As you can see my theory is working:
AOR 12 13 14 15 = They should get PPR by end of this week.
AOR 16 17 18 19 = They will get by Sep 18th.
AOR 20 21 22 23 = By 23rd.
AOR 24 25 26 27 = By the end of month!

I forgot to say that this is the timing for 80% Express Entry applicants..If your AOR is passed from these dates, you are in those 20% complex cases.

P.S. I am 100% sure, it will be faster! It all depends how many officers go on vacation this month! if all of them stick to their job, it will be faster..
Isn''t every feb aor in the complex case now? what about the ones who got the application well before the 6 month time line?
Personally I like debating over theories, since I don't have the time nor the energy to bring up cases that contradicts this one, I hope you are right :D

Yeah, don't think they have any checks in place.. seemingly above reproach


Then integrate that lesson into a new version of yourself, say 'Thank you universe!" and bring that new self to Canada when you and the universe are ready ;)
I don't like that lesson at all. Its like being punished for not struggling too much or going through a difficult journey to submit the application.

Thanks for the info!! Can we take a new photo which is different from the submitted one?
I did take new photos for all four of us (the old ones were borderline 6 months old + complicated to get the photographer stamp, etc).
Got my COPR with the new photo stuck on, so was not a problem.

I know.. But give it time and you can look back upon this period of your life and smile :) (Provided you make good use of your time now). And no, you are not being punished. Hardship is never a punishment.. it's an opportunity to become better! The more we experience difficulties, the more we are desensitized to them and the more we become stronger.. So take it for what it is, a positive thing in the long run!

OMG, it was a joke to be honest. I know from where I started and where I am now. There was time I wished I could afford a lot of things like toys, new clothes etc. So, this phase actually doesn't scare me at all and I am not afraid of hardships either. Hard times are like a close friend who visits very often. :)
People used to ask me how everything with this application is going so smooth and fast for me and I used to think that the luck will last for the entire thing and it will come with in 120 days. That's the only thing I did, I was overconfident it will come fast, I swear I didn't do anything else. :D
Thank you for both messages, Its always good to be reminded these things especially when it is too easy to get distracted. :)

It's my pleasure :) I can relate to your story, and I actually have a very similar experience.. I took the whole process for granted. Sure, it's not as efficient as they claim, or maybe luck didn't favor us this time. But I planned everything out, meticulously, based on the 6 month estimate. And now I'm literally in the middle of nowhere. What's more is I screwed myself over further by providing my US address on my passport when I thought I'd get my H1B, so now I can't even open a bank account in my own country without applying for a new local govt document that will take another 3 months. I can't apply for a new passport either because that would destroy my Canada PR application. I'm about to take up a job here now but I have no clue how they'll be able to pay me :p
I think it was Dwayne Johnson who in a really motivational speech to a sports team (it's on youtube) said that you have to remember the hard times to remind yourself what you're made of. The tougher your past, the tougher you are, but as we dwell back into comfort, we tend to forget easily :)
I also really like this line from the movie 'Gladiator': "Nothing ever happens to anyone that he is not fitted by nature to bear".

Sorry but I'm in inspired overload mode :D
