Nova Scotia PNP here. Application received at CIO on Oct 31st. No AOR yet. Emailed the CIO re. status at end of January (over 12 weeks delay by then), no reply to that either.

Work colleagues whose applications were received at the CIO Oct 2nd and Oct 10th have already received their AORs at the end of February. One of them already had the medicals done, even.

CIC appears to be process applications received between Oct 20th - 23rd. Everyone has experienced delays. EE applicants from Jan 31st have their PR already...interesting huh?. Hang in there we're all affected. You could get AOR within the next 2 - 3 weeks

EE from 31st already have PR ? :eek: Sure makes me feel valued as a landed immigrant on a TWP and with both primary and secondary applicants already contributing to the Canadian economy ::)

The visa office I chose has a processing time of 7 months which, if counted from the time my application was received at the CIO, will be up in two months. Do you know from when the clock starts ticking for that? Is it from AOR date, or initial receipt date?

Please keep in mind that the people who have been selected under EE so far have scored very high and to have scored so high are likely already living and working in Canada or are in professions that are in high demand so employers were able to get a LMIA for them.

As for the when the processing time starts, I think its when they receive your complete application not just when you get your AOR. But keep in mind the times they give are not what they are promising they are only approximate times it took on average to process previous applications. So because we know they are taking 4 months longer than usual to give out AOR numbers then we should assume that everything else will be pushed back.

In the last EE draw, they have invited people WITHOUT a job offer or a PNP. And the capping mark was around 480. I am happy for fellow people like us who been trying to pass through this rough time. I totally get that they are applying through an express stream and they are paying for it. But, people like me have paid a few thousand dollars and waiting for more than 4 months just for a piece of receipt. Because of this delay I am very disturbed, I have lost my sleep, I am loosing my health, my life is stagnated and my total family is going through a traumatic state. I am undergoing counselling for my health to cope up with the present situation. Let them take a reasonable time to process, but why it takes an awful lot of time to issue just a piece of receipt. Justice?

They are trying to achieve their 6-month EE promise by delaying people who applied under old system. However, once more and more people choose to apply for EE instead of the old system, I believe EE will become slow again. This is how every system works.

It is super frustrating. BUT seems like we have nothing can do. Sigh...

Hey Stikma,

Don't worry about your nomination expiring before they receive it because as long as they see it's a complete application, that's okay and won't need to return it. My nomination expired March 4. They received my application October 20. I received my AOR March 23rd, past my nomination expiry.

As for the expiring work permit, I hear that you are able to apply for a bridging work permit for 1 year while waiting for CIC's decision on your PR application. So hang in there we were all in the same boat at one point in all this. :)
