firstly thanks to bringiton for calling CIC, and sharing the update , however its very interesting the difference in what the agents are saying and what actually is happening , as no one from May seem to have received AOR yet

I think it probably takes about 2 weeks to give AOR after opening the application documents. So I suppose early May applicants should start receiving their AOR this week or early next week.

It seems that they don't send AOR as soon as they open the envelopes, take their sweet time for a few more weeks.

Of course I'm not that stupid to think they do. What I'm trying to point out is that there are still a lot from April applicant who hasn't receive their AOR, so let's wait until they are done then we can expect May applicant to follow suit.

just took a look at the April spreadsheet , there are significant number of people who haven't received the AOR yet , i think its safe to keep our hopes low and look at a timeline of july end as the earliest option for May applicant AOR

This by far is the most realistic and sensible thinking, thumbs up! :)

Looking at the April applicants and still a lot of them waiting for AOR. I guess applications from May might get their AOR from early august onward..
I was hoping for a 2 months waiting time.. but this may have been wishful thinking

But how come the April applicants still has long queue to receive their AOR? Almost half of them have not receive theirs?
Yeah. Its a long wait. I don't know why there is no logical flow with the dates of application received vs the AOR recieved. They seem cherry picking random applications and throwing AOR's. Just a while ago, a 10th April applicant and a 26th April applicant got their AOR today. Complete nonsense i would say.

Looking at the dates, it's obvious applications from Ontario are getting AORs faster than everybody else, the worst looks to be the ones from BC.

Thanks for the investigation. But I think it should not make any difference on the territory at the AOR stage, but correct me if I am wrong. I think the more chances are lots of people who has received AOR but didn’t have time to post the progress in the forum.

It’s possible and I am hoping you are right! But I based on the spreadsheet data, it seems that the processing time has slowly increased and it now takes more than 2 months to receive AOR.

Hi so I got my application package returned today dated July 2nd 2019 because I missed a check mark on CBSA consent column.

Waw I am sorry to hear that.. It’s not the same but I may also get my application returned as well because I forgot to check the box about consent to disclose personal information :(
