Guys Patience, Everything will fall in its place for each and everyone of us in due time. It's not like PR where we have to worry about expiring work permit or visa etc. We are all Permanent Residents and a little delay in getting AOR won't do us any harm since we all have applied under normal processing category.
Getting AOR is important as it shows our applications are complete but it does not guarantee faster processing. If you guys review the other months spreadsheet you will find out some applicants have gotten AOR before others but they didn't go to IP before others. Some got IP before other but other got Test invites sooner. There are many variables.
Let's remember us all in prayers and have patience because if we start worrying ourselves then the wait will be too long for us.
Cheers!
You are right but the amount of uncertainty and delay I had faced during processing my PR application makes me sensitive to any CIC movement.
