YOU are right
AOR is acknowledgement however they can start processing as well.
"Started processing/working" shows up in some cases , + BGC >> DM . ifor few which would appear in ECAS no? In most cases they may not write that line as above but jumps to BGC>>DM>>PPR but they dont start working on the same day they send AOR 2 acknowledgment of receipt.
No one really knows what they do and when

Its too soon to tell, we’ll have to wait and see from some of the newer applicants if it’s helped with the processing times. You’d think it must, because otherwise why would they have done it? Maybe they’re just trying to take pressure off Mississauga and it’ll be the same time length. But we don’t know just yet.
So far doesn’t look like it helped
 
Hi, can i include my wife's step mother while filling the IMM5406 form (family information) in the spousal sponsorship application i am putting forward in favor of my wife. I asked because they stated it is compulsory all her family details are filled in the form but the form only has fields for step siblings and not step parents,
 
Hi everyone

I recently sent my wife's sponsorship application, and I would like to know what the stages of this process are, considering that I live in Quebec. Should my wife request the Quebec selection certificate (CSQ)? At what stage of the process should she apply for the CSQ?

Thanks,

Yes. You have to include.
 
PA country?
Usually it’s the norm to transfer to a VO of the country where the applicant is from. My husbands file also is in Ankara currently and we are waiting. They have to do extensive background check which is normal
 
FINALLY able to link GC Key today!! Been trying every single day for months.

PA location = England
App Received = July 19

GCKey says application is in progress, no interview needed, no medical needed, no background needed, no additional documents needed .

Is this now counting as an AOR 1 ? I still cant find anything on ECAS though re:SA . Will that come up on GCKEY ?

Thanks everyone !
It will come up. I think it is counting AOR 1
 
Truth is; most part of fees we pay>>go to R. GENERAL 4 Canada and IRCC ONLY GETS WHAT IS DECIDED LATER.. hence not their fault if they are very late in everything, shortage of staff, salaries and speed . SO dept is very poor as far as funding goes BUT VERY rich-liberal in accepting any categories may it be legal or not, how they know? may be deport some later on. WE ALL KNOW HOW IT GOES ;--
The Government of Canada has a central budgetary agency called the Treasury Board. Each fiscal year every Government of Canada department must apply to the Treasury Board for its funding. The Treasury Board is responsible for advising the Prime Minister and the federal Cabinet about priorities for disbursing Government of Canada funds. The Government of Canada never has anything near the funds to resource every department to the hilt. There is no real reason to identify CIC as a special priority to receive large amounts of funding and resources.

The funds paid by visa applicants do not go into a special CIC account. Those fees are paid to the Receiver General for Canada. The Receiver General ‘s accounts are a central repository for all sorts of fees paid to the Government of Canada. It is mostly there where the Treasury Board finds the funds it will disburse.
Visa applicants do not always understand that immigration visas are subject to rationing by the annual immigration levels system. CIC has to allocate resources to each visa office according to the contribution that office is expected to make to the annual level. A given visa office is only expected, or allowed, to issue a certain number of immigration visas per year. They are not allowed to issue as many visas as they can. At times they must delay or stop processing certain categories of visas.
