I sent the application on Nov 13, received on Nov 15 and signed by Mike. Still no AOR. I called CIC and they said they are working on applications received on Nov 27 already. They said the official process is that they have to give the processing center 6 weeks from the date application is received (in my case Nov 15) and what application date they are processing. They told me only when they start processing December 27th onwards, they will be able to officially send them the letter and ask the status of my application. She said these things can happen. She said there are 2 reasons: 1) application was either lost in their mailroom or 2) they are returning the application for being incomplete. Since in my case, I know for sure the application is complete, it might be the fact that my application is still somewhere in the mailroom. Is there anyone else whos application was received before Nov 27 and they didn't receive AOR yet?
