I cannot speak for the online portal as I did my application on paper, just wanted to add that AOR does not mean that application is complete, only that an agent finally received and open your application. I say this as when I got mine AOR I was immediately asked for 6 additional documents to send to them. Let's hope more people that use the new portal can chime in and tell their experience.
Thanks for your answer
Actually when i applied i got this email to inform me that my application is submitted correctly
And that's why I said if u get AOR then ur application contain the important files and signatures ect..
This the email :
This email confirms that you have successfully submitted your permanent residence application.
We’ll review your application to make sure you:
provided all of the information we asked for
uploaded all required documents correctly
paid the fees
We’ll send you a confirmation email (an acknowledgement of receipt or AOR) once an agent has confirmed your application is complete.
Please note that we’ll return your application to you if it is incomplete.
It can take some time before you receive the AOR.
Check your email regularly to see if you’ve received it. To avoid missing our emails, check your junk or spam folder.
Thank you,
