Are we expected to receive an AOR
email or letter from CIC?
As of now, 59 out of 173 forum users have received Email AOR from CIC - CPCM. Very few of them also can see 'Received' status in their E-Cas. None of them yet reported a regular mail correspondence from CIC.

Good News! I got my AOR confirmation letter in regular mail today. The letter has exactly the same content as the email confirmation. The letter was dated on March 23, 2015 and I have received it today (April 1).

Cheers!

I found this forum today, and I updated the spreadsheet you're maintaining. Got the AOR on March 21st, as many others.
But the processing times are really discouraging. Moreover, they don't improve, instead they're going up
For example, the sponsor assessment waiting time was 41 months end of Dec 2014, now (3 months later) it is 47 months. Ridiculous. How comes it went up 6 months in the past 3 months, that's theoretically impossible.
The applicant's assessment time also went up, it's 73 months now at the local visa office, comparing to 60 months that was 3 months ago. Doesn't make any sense to me.

In acknowledgement email, it is said to update the family status if new member is added (a child is born in family). When we will update this to CIC, does it mean...our family income also needs to be increased based on that new number of family members. If the income level doesn't meet on that new number of family members..will they cancel our application?

Yep, I have got acknowledgement too with the application number. Unable to login to ecas though. I believe applications in process only shows up there. All the best folks.

The best you can do is to pass the child information with increased needful income of tax year 2014. What will they do is anybody guess. But beware on family increases till parents immigration is not over. 3-4 years. Timeframe

Yes. A sponsor is required to continue to meet the LICO throughout the entire sponsorship process. If you have a child, the number of family members increases and therefore, the LICO increases. If CIC determines that you do not meet the LICO at any point during the process, your app will be refused.

I sent an email for family size increase before I received the email AOR. My income for 3 years will cover it well; so I'm not worrying. At best, CIC will ask for more NOA's when they really start processing my application.

Anyway since I couldn't provide my file no; I will call CIC sometime soon and ask if it has been updated.

Thanks.

But a family income of 70k-80K would still do the trick. But honestly, since I have 5 persons living in my home now; you would need a six digit anyway to live a life.

No I did not hear anything yet. Little worried because I have already told my parents. Should I call CIC? By any chance you have their number?
