I just want to share something about my PR application... #journeytocanada
I received my AOR from CIO that looks like this:

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada under the Provincial Nominee Class.
Upon review of the information you have provided, your application is considered complete based upon the requirements of the Instructions and Regulation 10 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA).
Your application has now been placed into processing.
X This correspondence also acknowledges receipt of your payment dated xxxxx in the amount of 1,250.00 Canadian dollars. Your HPM Payment Receipt No. is xxxxx. Please keep a copy of this letter for your records and quote this number on all correspondence relating to application fees or refunds.
Please do not forward additional documents unless requested.
If additional documents are required, you will be provided an address to forward required documents. Please inform the Centralized Intake Office by e-mail at CIO-Sydney-Search-Enquiry @ cic.gc.ca of any status changes in your application (birth or adoption of a child, marriage or common-law relationship, new occupation or employer, change of address, change of e-mail address, change of immigration representative, etc). Please include a letter identifying what the changes are and any relevant supporting documents. If your documents are not in English or French, send a notarized (certified) translation with a copy of the originals.
It is important for you to learn about the steps you need to take to get your credentials and qualifications recognized in Canada. Citizenship and Immigration Canada recommends that you review the resources on the Foreign Credentials Referral Office's website (www.credentials.gc.ca) and the Department's website (www.cic.gc.ca) for helpful information about living and finding work in Canada. If your application will be processed through China, India, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan or the UK, you might receive information and an invitation letter from CIC about free in-person assistance. In order to participate in this service you will require an invitation letter from the CIC mission which will be sent to you during the later stages of the immigration process if you are determined to be eligible for it. You can access information about this free in-person assistance at www.newcomersuccess.ca . Actual participation in this in-person service is not a guarantee or an indicator that your immigration application will ultimately be successful or that you will receive an immigrant visa.
Thank you for your interest in Canada.

My letter did not mention which visa office will handle my application or if I should go for medical. So what I did, after checking with some of our forum mates, I sent an email to London VO (this is the VO in my application), and Abu Dhabi VO (ADVO) and asked them if they received my application. I'm worried since in ECAS my application was received last April 2014, but until now there is no MR.
Today, the London VO responded that they did not have my PR application and based on my details, they said it was sent to ADVO. I just sent that email a few days ago, imagine they beat ADVO in responding to the inquiry! ;D
Now, I will just keep my fingers crossed and hope that ADVO will response soon with my MR ;D #Feelinghappyandpositive
Hopefully others will benefit from my experience.
Salamat ulet.
