Usually AOR means what it says: Acknowledgment of Receipt. Meaning, they hereby confirm the arrival of your application, and you have been entered in the system. Thats it, thats all.
No documents have been checked...nothing has been done.
When it changes in your Ecas into "Started Processing" that means your file has been opened and they "actually do start" working on it. So, if something is missing, this is the crucial moment (Document Checklist for example, or missing signatures, pictures, fees....etc.)
Anyways...Ecas is not to be trusted. Its just a "guide". They only update that if they have the time, or want to do it or whatever. People have had unchanged Ecas for months...and in my case..Ecas changed into "Completed" after 2 months having Permanent Residency already!
If you really want to know whats going in your file.. with your file, you need to order the CAIPS Notes, or possibly also known now as GCMS or even the much older FOSS, but i only know them as CAIPS-Notes at the time I applied. These notes contain EVERYTHING...what they wrote..what they've changed...if Meds work out...if the background check worked out and if they will send you a letter for whatever reason....even the name of the agent.

By the way I still don't know what exactly AOR means to applicants.
Is it just a receipt that they received application and logged into their system?
Do they usually take a glance on application if all the required documents are enclosed?
