Received AOR email last night. Application received on May 20th. We've been nervous since we mailed it through Canada Post regular mail so do don't have any confirmation that it was delivered successfully. What a relief.

I'm the applicant. My sponsor hasn't received anything.

Congrats to all who received AOR's!!! But why is mostly the applicant received the AOR and not the sponsor? I myself (sponsor) received the AOR by mail.

They've processed July applications for almost half a year now. What a joke!

The whole process in USA takes 4-6 months. Same thing in Canada, one tenth of USA"s population, takes 2 year. I dont know what these guys are thinking.

I just called CIC to change my address.. I provided the file number,the one I received in my AOR email but the agent didnt locate my file. he found it by using my UCI. then he told me he will need to connect them together, because I called very early, according to him. I think he added X before my file number the1 I received,in my email, without X. He said"he know why" then I asked him so you see my file number, he answered yes everything is good" no more words. he seemed to be familiar with what he is doing so I thank him and hang out.

there was joy yesterday and heartbreaking news today. CIC is doing backward in processing date. This roller coaster will never ever end.

Tweet Chris Alexander. Facebook him. Send him email. This is crazy.

Definitely will do that. Taking half a year for July applicants is ridiculous. It's like they refuse to leave July.

I work in a hotel under LMO, Can I still submit an application fo OWP and make an explanation letter? Thanks

If you are on a closed work permit and submit an OWP application along with your PR application, you are covered by "implied status" until such time as a decision on your OWP application is issued. You don't need an explanation letter. Just maintain evidence that you have applied (a copy of the fee paid receipt is good, as is a copy of your GCMS electronic notes indicating your application has been submitted).

I have friends who are going through the US process - they're into their 12th month now. The advantage of the US process is there's a lot of feedback throughout the process. The applications don't sit in a queue for a year before an officer reviews them.

yes, there seems to be a difference in processing of 2013 outland apps and 2014 outland apps. somehow jan-april apps were processed in lightening speed. there's even a may 1 applicant who's received COPR. no one knows why, or if this will continue. i'm in the group that doesn't want to ask and hope they don't ask for COPRs to be sent back!

Just called CIC in regards to my April application, as I did not provide an email, so I wanted to know my AOR status, I gave her my uci that I had before from an immigration visa extension document, , the agent found me on the system and Said yes the application was received and confirmed my address, I then asked her dies this mean, my documents were checked to ensure I have all the nessesary documents,,,abd she Saud no, at this stage it simply means, the package has been received,,and that processing times are long for applicants inside Canada, so why all this excitement about AORs, didn't our postal service confirm that it was received by cic,,

This happens every time there is a change in process. I was caught in the Buffalo to Ottawa shuffle (which pushed US Outland Stage 1 to almost 4 months, and had many people waiting more than a year for Stage 2) and watched Inland suddenly "catch up" as they phased out FOSS (Inland Stage 1 time dropped from 12 months to 5.5 months over the late summer of 2012). I was very fortunate to have a strong advocate at the Department of Justice ensuring that my application was processed expeditiously.

Because it's exciting to know that they at least picked up the package from their mail room and opened it!

It also helps some people qualify for medical coverage (e.g., here in BC where they want something "in writing" from CIC showing the application is in process).
