CIC works strangely nowadays, some applicants receive an answer much earlier then they should according to their timeline. The total processing time for applicants with no issues or red flags seems to vary between 12 and 19 months. So it's possible that you will be one of the lucky ones and land soon, but they can also sit on your additional documents for months before contacting you again.
I think it's an AOR, I received the first AOR back in Feb I think and we get this second one last month. Here's the email:
