Indeed, I live in Toronto. God bless everyone.

2011, when I moved here, the terrible nightmare was 5 years from there to get the citizenship.

It most probably depends on where your Local CIC office is. If you are from GTA (Mississauga, Scarborough or Toronto), You would definitely make it. Good luck!!

Do not fret, the fact that its been 3 months means that your application wasn't returned. It may have been opened, and may or may not be in process. It does take some time for ecas to get updated. If you included an email address in your application, you should check there (or even your spam) maybe you received an email AOR. if not, I believe you should receive some news this week or next. Just be patient. Cheers!!!

hi! No i havent received anything yet from them nor email or AOR ....its gonna be 3 months now.. ??? thats why im asking anyone from MONTREAL if they already got news..

If you call CIC and go to the check application status menu, you'll hear a message telling you the date at which they processed all applications. As of today, it's Oct. 15. So technically you should not worry, you just not lucky your application has been put at the end of the pile and you will one of those who get processed last in your batch. But do check the date from time to time and call them if it changes but you do not receive AOR.

Thanks for the advice.. just gonna wait till end of JANUARY.. just im wondering why some people got their AOR faster than any other who submitted earlier than theirs.. i guess it depends on the provinces.. :

Well in fairness, you are justified to be worried seeing that you are from Montreal. Central Canada usually has the fastest processing time from what I have seen. if you provided an email, you can check to see if you received an email AOR (search for "Do not reply" bcos that's the subject CIC gives to their email). If you don't see anything just be patient and wait until last week in January. Alternatively, you could speak to a CIC agent and provide him/her with your tacking no and receipt no. This may help them locate your application and tell you the status of the application. Good luck!!!

I'm from Montreal and received today my AOR, I sent my application 4 months ago lol .
Better to laugh, comparing to some august applicants (especially Scarborough office) who already pass their test and some november applicants who get their AOR in december...

they are processing applications received after Nov. 3rd. Mine was received Oct. 24 I just called CIC and the lady told me it could be that your application has not been opened yet, wait until the first week of February ! What do they mean when they say that "if your application has been sent or received after Nov. 3rd, it has not been processed yet". Does it mean that they finished processing all applications received before Nov. 3rd ???
I hope I have not made any mistakes in the app. :

Hello everyone,

Hi Called CIC two times.

My Application was delivered to Sydney on Oct 06,2014. NO AOR and NO study guide. No info.

But ecas shows processing started on Nov 25 for me and Nov 19 for my wife. Both applications delivered on Oct06,2014 in one package.

They told me over the phone, that our applications are in process. They are doing verification for our application. Once Verification is done, they are transferring our application to local Mississauga office.

They said not getting AOR is a system error. Its just piece of paper. They confirmed that they received our application and in process.

So My advise to those whose applications delivered in around that time and no response from CIC yet, Call them and see if the applications are in process and wait until they transfer the files to local office.

Anyone in the same process as me can contact me to update each other time to time.

Thanks!
