You applied on 12th September. According to current CIC timelines I would not expect to hear much before mid November. You may be lucky and get your AOR before then but as a general rule that 67 day processing time is pretty accurate. August were obviously a lucky batch. Around February, March and April this year the processing times were close to 100 days and in some weeks even longer. Prepare yourself for the specified time and anything sooner is a bonus!!

Hi all,

I filed my PR application on September 24th and the application was delivered on September 26th at the Sydney office. I wish I had discovered this forum before I applied.

I applied under the Arranged employment category. My case is a bit complex though. My company never had to do an HRSC opinion because I was transferred from our US firm and was granted a work permit as we received an exemption. My lawyer mentioned that I could apply for the PR under the same rules.
I paid via a credit card, which hasn't been charged yet. I had a few issues with my application. One of my previous employers didn't provide an experience letter, however they provided a record of employment which is handled by a third party. It wasn't in the exact format as mentioned in the checklist, but I explained all that in the cover letter.

Another thing is that both my spouse and myself didn't have formal birth certificates. So we provided our school records showing date of birth. Do you think that is acceptable or is there any work around that?

Any insights would be much appreciated.
