I am so excited! Just got AOR, can't be better way to start the day.
Do you think it's worth to email CIC and let them know that I'm okay travelling to Vancouver for the test?
We have family there so it might work even better for me.

You can try but the pilot project is for re-testing not the test.

I think that they decide the test location based on home address. So you dont get to choose.

Hi, what was the problem with your photograph? I didn't print my name behind my passport. Was that the reason why your application was returned?
The problem was that the photograph did not have the date on which it was taken on the back......

You didn't have the date on both photographs or just one of the two?
Neither of the photos had a date on them. It was my own fault! I didn't see that it was needed on the guidelines....... I was very disappointed to see it coming back to me for that. But I think it can be easy to overlook even the obvious when you are dealing with the application - thats what I tell myself anyway!

Hi Admin,
May I have the link for Spread sheet
Go to page one of the thread and you will see the link in the very first post. When the spreadsheet opens, go to the May tab at the bottom.

AOR received Sep 22nd for both me and my wife (separate emails).
On a related note, I checked ECAS and it showed "application received", as expected. However, I noticed that while my "home address" was correct, my "mailing address" was an old 7 year address from the US before I moved to Canada. I'm worried I might miss (or already missed) important documents. Anyone know what documents may have been sent via regular mail for this?
Also, I forgot to include names on my and my wife's photos. If I received the AOR, does this mean they accepted those, or does it not mean I am out of the woods yet? thanks all!

Submit address change online. It will get updated in few days itself. I too did the same due to same situation.
After AOR, your application wont return.
