Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let those of you who are still waiting for AOR1 that just this morning I was able to link my file to MyCIC account. My app was received Jan. 25. I have been trying to link my app everyday for the last 2 weeks. I am pretty sure that they only just opened the file this morning as I tried to link last night and it didn't work. Also I called the IRCC (call centre) 2 days ago and on that day, they told me my receipt # had not been entered into the system. I have not received AOR1 by email or mail, but at least I have an application # now and can check electronically on my status.
For those end of Jan applicants who have not heard anything yet, hang in there. You might be unlucky like me to have your file with an IO who is slow.
Hope those who are still waiting will hear something in the next few days!
