30 weeks for aor?

[stanka]

Hello comrades, I have a question for you.
I have applied for PR under Quebec Selected Skilled Workers category. I mailed my application to Buffalo
about a month ago, on February 15th it arrived in Fort Erie and the delievery was confirmed(signed) by "canadian consulate".
I supposed to get priority treatment, because my profession is in high demand in Quebec(at least that what Quebec officials told me).
Anyways, I was waiting for AOR and instructions on how to undergo medical examinations, but one month passed and there is still no letter.
Yesterday I emailed them, asking about my case, the reply embarrassed me:

""The creation of permanent resident applications in our database along with the mailing of the acknowledgement of receipt letter is taking a minimum of 30 weeks.""

30 weeks??? I hope they confused weeks with days...(hope not with years lol)

So, comrades what's your experience? How long did you wait for your AOR? Did you wait for 30(!!! ) weeks?

Well I suspect most applicants here are in the Federal Skilled Worker category and can't really comment on Quebec Selected Skilled Workers - so you may have to have a little patience until someone who is in the same process as you can give you some timescales.

I'm a bit confused. You applied to Quebec, correct? So you need to get your CSQ first.   Or have you already done that?

I have CSQ. I've sent it along with my federal application.(after you get CSQ you have to apply for federal) I just want to know when I'll get my aor. How long does it usually take?

but I think the timescale for all Buffalo applicants is almost the same.(at least I dont know anyone who needed 30 weeks to get AOR.)

I'm still at the CSQ stage, so I'm not sure.  But try asking on this topic:
