Question.........this AOR thing is supposed to be mailed to you?

AOR will be e-mailed if you provided an email address. If not, it will be mailed to the sponsor's address.

Submitted my app June 29 they received it July 3rd and just October 12 it says in process. Just try to be more patient.

Looks like they did a bunch of us 3rd July applicants on the same day. We also got our AOR1 on 12 October!

Just noticed Decision Made on ECAS but we're still struggling to log in successfully onto gckey system to find out the details.

Just won't link !!

Hi ,

I am from India (applicant)

Regarding the country specific requirement. I could see that if the birth is registered late we need to provide voter id card and old school records.

My birth - May 1990
Birth registered - June 1990

Do I need to provide the voter id card and old school records?

July 9, 2018 applicant, no news still.

Spoke to a agent again and she gave me some clarity. She stated that anyone who are Outland sponsor's between July 1st to July 24th, they are currently accessing SPONSER eligibility. Some have started receiving letters now. Due to high volume in June and July they cleared Inland applicants first now working on Outland.

She also stated that if you have called before and you are in their system, DO NOT PANIC, your application will not be returned. If information was missing they would have contacted by now. They are accessing eligibility status now for all the Sponsors.. It might take 3 more weeks to hear back.

Hope this information helps AND hang in there.

Thanks for sharing your experience. At least we know what was going on behind the scene that caused this delays.
The interesting thing in the agent's explanation for me was the part that said they have cleared the inland applicants first. It seems logical to give priority to inlands since they have been already paying taxes but yet it is not compatible with CIC's claims which says "their aim is to rejoin families"!!
Paradoxical claim since inlands are already joined with their spouses!

You have given me a reason to breathe easier today. Thank you! I have been so nervous about the missed signature but this gives me hope considering my file was in the system mid august.

Thanks again

I understand the anxiety part, as we are all in the same boat. All the best.

Yes, now it makes sense for Inland and Outland process. I pay my taxes every year however I fall into Outland as my husband is not from Inland, I guess we all have to go through the protocol. Few more weeks I guess

Do we know if any of the outbound applications in August have had their AORs? If that is the case then I will certainly feel a bit aggrieved!
