AoR is not for embassy receiving your applications it's for case processing center in Mississauga
I was send both AoR and approval one day after the other via EMAIL not mail
Maybe check ur email for the second one ... it might have gone to ur spam folder

I would say that your file has been finalised for stage 1 and either mistakenly you have deleted the stage 1 approval or it was posted out to you via mail and it was lost in transit. Usually in stage 1 once you receive AOR, approval is less than a week behind.

Call CIC and speak to an agent, I am pretty sure they will confirm your file has been sent on to your visa office.

Definitely check your spam folders. I received my AOR and First Stage while out of town for the week (they came last week) and the AOR email came 1 minute before the Spousal Approval email.

I was relying on my iPhone to keep track of my mail for the past week, which I receive my shaw mail account on, and my Gmail account on, the shaw account forwarded both letters along just fine, but some reason or another, the Gmail account let the First Stage Approval email through, but blocked the AOR email, go figure.
