I meant that AOR1. is the date when they receive your application and gives you a file no. That's the date which is the first line on ecas..we recieved your application on so and so date"
But CIC sends you an email stating that they have received your application for sponsoring a family member on so and so date.
That is the date we consider as Applicant Received.
Then only does the process of Sponsorship Approval etc etc starts.
Thanks
