Hi, can anyone who applied for and received their BOWP after applying through Express Entry advise which AOR letter they used to apply?

I see that CIC are now issuing 2nd AOR letters to some people to tell them their application had been checked for completeness... did anyone who applied for a BOWP use this second letter, or was the BOWP processed based on the first AOR letter, the one you get right after submitting your application? Thanks

I never received any message that confirmed that my application met the requirements of a complete application. Yesterday I received my BOWP, 1 year duration, from May 19, 2015 to May 19, 2016.
I applied for BOWP by mail, the app was received by CIC Vegreville on February 9.

The below is all I received in MyCIC:

Immigration Canada (CIC) via your MyCIC account on January 28, 2015.
