I have a question now, AOR is just an email confirming that they have received, isit?

Congratulations.
Yes, I think AOR is just the confirmation that they have received your application and the initial checks have been done. It will also have your application number.

Congrats! Glad to see it moving. No use getting worked up over one person who got it weirdly fast. And 50 days is still within the average, even if it sucks. :/

So does anyone know what a temporary file number is because when I spoke to ircc, they stated that I had a temporary file number. Does that mean it passed the initial "documents ok" check and is now waiting to start processing? Sorry if this has been asked before, I'm just super nervous.

I was going through other forums and wanted to share what I have observed, it looks like it takes exactly 1 month from the AOR for OWP approval in most of the cases.

May be most of you know this. Just shared, if this might be useful.

I really hope this is the case! Biggest concern for me is getting the OWP, everything else I can deal with, lol

I am confused,only my sponsor has received email not me. So, am I in just step 1(stated below). yet to get AOR?
I understood from the CIC site that the sponsor and the primary applicant both gets emails for acceptance. Below are the steps.

1. Sponsor gets an email stating that application is accepted for processing.
2. Sponsor get another email - Sponsorship undertaking approved.
3. Applicant gets email after sponsor is found to be eligible- AOR
4.Additional documents( if needed)
5. Medical
6. Additional documents/Tests( if needed)
7.Interview (if needed)
8. Approval

How about others? Applicant got the email or the sponsor? Please correct me, if I am wrong.

Hi!

Applied inland on September 7, received Sept 09, 2019. We are still waiting for AOR. We applied through our lawyer. Is anyone aware if the processing of application through lawyer takes about the same time, more or less? Also, is there anyway to track the status online if applied through lawyer?
Many thanks!

There is no difference in the processing times if you hire a lawyer or not. Your representative would link your application to their account after they get AOR. However, you can track your application status online on ecas.

The Acknowledgement your sponsor got is the AOR, and only the sponsor is supposed to get that.
For Inland applications, SA & PA approvals are received towards the end of application, After Medical/Background checks are complete.

Thanks for the information. So for inland applicants, with OWP, what's the next?
