Yes, I suppose that could be a reason. But, technically its only one day off. Even if they took Friday, Monday and Tuesday off, its 3 additional days (I think the current 55 day figure includes weekends, as most people are receiving their AORs at 55 days when weekends are counted).

So, I was hoping, with my current count of 60 days, I was over the expected 58 day processing time - accounting for 3 days off.

It could be that they decided to take wednesday, thursday, friday off too, and will get back next week :( You never know, govt employees...

Lol I wouldn't be surprised if they took the whole week off :p. In all seriousness I think you guys that have already been waiting outside that turnaround time, you will receive something shortly for sure.

From the spreadsheet. only 3 people got AORs.

Some people get AOR out of turn (some get it early than the date mentioned on the CIC website and some get it very late, way over the processing date). Dont know what is the criteria for that. Frustrating :-[ :-[

Let's hope that even if there is a delay its not big.

Even if our apps are being reviewed none of us have received any AORs (I mean the people on the spreadsheet who applied before you).

So you are VIP that your application has atleast seen the light of day :p

Indeed, a human touched your file in CIC! :eek:

Hopefully it won't be a big delay. Its only one form. And the good thing is that they didn't return the whole package.
