Hi Laura8388,
Welcome to the long wait of the permanent residency application. AOR is an Acknowledgement of Receipt from Immigration. It is important in the sense that it is CIC´s communication/confirmation of your file number and also they inform you when they started processing your application. These days people are receiving AOR's within 4 weeks. Once you get this file number you will be able to access your file online.
Following your AOR, Immigration will assess your sponsor which normally takes about 6 months according to CIC website but again every case is different, it could be less than 6 months. If your sponsor is eligible you will receive an Approved-In-Principle (AIP) via email or mail. Some people receive an email and mail. If you sent an open work permit application with your application you will receive the permit shortly after you receive the AIP.
Once first stage is completed, they checkout your police certificates for all the countries you have been to for 6 months from the time you turned 18. They also do a background check as well as your medicals. If all is well with your application you get a decision made letter or email which will basically be confirming your success and informing you that a Visa office closer to where you live will be contacting you for your landing interview.
Well I have tried to explain to the best of my understanding, I hope all will go well with your application. I have been going through the 2012 applications and I have observed that a few people got the whole process completed within 6 months. I hope that they deal with our applications that fast. All the best.

Hi Minime,minime# said:
You will have to wait until you receive your AOR, hopefully you will receive this AOR within the month. To access e-CAS which is on the CIC website under application status, you will need to use the client identification number that will be on your AOR. I received my AOR 19 days after sending my application so hopefully you will receive yours anytime.
I think police certificates are valid for 3 months from the time you obtain them. If you passed the 3 month deadline you could either wait for CIC to request for new police certificates or you could get new police certificates that you can send to CIC once you receive your AOR.
This is my understanding hope this helps.
Dang I totally forgot to get the Option C printout for my wife who's sponsoring me..... I hope it doesn't delay my application too badly...
I also work fulltime though, and I provided my wife's and my own T4 slips. Should that be enough? I made a few mistakes in my PR app already....

It may cause a delay because on the document checklist it says reason for most delays are sponsor didn't sign the form or option c n t4 printouts not in application. Hopefully they don't return your application n just request the missing infohockeyfan said:Dang I totally forgot to get the Option C printout for my wife who's sponsoring me.....

Is the option C print out the Notice of assessment? Because I only sent the original notice of assessment and it was fine. My application was completed.
You think I should wait til they write to me or contact me or my wife?minime# said:
