Hi, Thanks for sharing the information, it is very helpful. . Could you please let me knoe how did you receive your AOR2. Was it an email or a change in ecas to sometgsom like ' we have started processing. . . '
I actually got my aor2 quite late compared to many other june applicants, people got aor2 around 3rd week of august I believe. So I ended up calling CIC mississauga and was told that the file had started getting processed in mississauga because of the backlog at NDVO. the agent had told me that they will send the file eventually but just to help out with the backlog they had started processing it partially here. This call was made around Sept 2nd week. I then saw the status change in ECAS, and also received an email for AOR2 on Sept 18th. I never had access to my gckey because I had a representative but I would always call to hear the automated status update since its exactly the same as gckey.
the status was something like we received your application on....., and your application processing has started or we started processing was aor 2 status i believe... the email I got one from CIC-M stating that our file was forwarded to NDVO for further processing and then I believe I got an email from NDVO or a status update saying that processing has started.
