Our App arrived October 10th of 2018 should we be worried that we haven't gotten the AOR yet?

Yes, I paid total fees of $1,040 and sent the receipt with the application.
By the way, did you get a Sponsor approval email yet?
None so far. I have been checking my account and ECAS once in a while. The usual wait time seems to be 1 week after AOR1; so I think maybe tomorrow or Monday. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Okay, no SA yet for us either. I know it can also take a month. Just wondering because i know we got the AOR around the same time. Thanks!

I sent full payment with biometrics as well. Recieved oct 26th. No word yet but should be soon. It's normal to see some later dates get aor before others, but they will keep coming.

Medical request received Dec.13, 2018
That is great! Have you logged into the CIC site to see underneath your SPONSORSHOP APPLICATION STATUS it says DECISION MADE? I guess I would expect to hear about sponsorship approval in an email to the sponsorer before medical requests are sent to the principal applicant but then again I am new to this :). Also I read that once your medical is received by CIC then it will be exactly 1 year from that date that your Permanent Resident Card will expire.

We received our AOR on December 6th too and I read that SA usually comes a couple weeks after that.

To be honest the process generally takes quite a bit longer than 12 months. I am hearing up to 18 months these days. But in terms of the first AOR, it can take a few months. People that submitted in August where getting AORs in November. It really depends on the volume they get at any given time, and how complicated your application is. I know ours may take longer as there is the Principal Applicant and dependent child ( = more paperwork to review). And different applications require different paperwork. Hang in there. It is a black hole of information to be sure, but there isn't much that can be done.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
