I would have imagined first week of March but not third week.. Glad they are bringing down the backlog...
I had thought it would be sometime in October, but IRCC has managed to act real quick

I am unable to login and check online status. Any idea how long this takes?

As per the sheet, three of March applicants have received their AOR.
They jumped directly to Mar-20, Mar-24, and Mar-27.

If IRCC keeps on going at this pace, July/August applicants can expect AOR by Sep End of Early October.

You can only check online once you receive the AOR

Still doesn't address the bit of the test/interview though - I'm very keen to see what they plan to do about those, because otherwise that's just substituting one bottleneck for the other! The moment we start seeing some movement along those lines for the test/interview and how they plan to do it, we can get really excited! :p

Skipping a whole bunch and then jumping on to the others won't clear the backlogs.
I was expecting for the first and second week of March applicants but they started with the end of March lot.

Hi all,
So just to be 100% sure of what do reg my returned application, I contacted CIC by phone and they I should resign it with a new date and redo the physical calculation and sign it with the Most recent date. at the end, I have lost 5 months and my application will no longer be a March app; it’s an August application.

I have not received my AOR yet, but someone has updated on EXCEL that i have received AOR.
Someone might have done this inadvertently.
So that makes two AORs for March till now.
