Hello,
I received my AOR from Sydney, Australia yesterday. My timeline:
Applied to Nova Scotia 9 July 2009. Received eligibility email 29 September 2009 Sent documents 17 November 2009 Received AOR 23 November 2009.
In their letter, they say that application can take 6-12 months from that office, but I have read about people who have received it a lot sooner. Fingers crossed......

congrats .. Sydney NS, Canada and not Australia ( looks you were more than happy  ) i guess the OP's local visa office is sydney australia. his timeline in his original post says he already received eligibility email from sydney, canada in september. and this AOR is from his local visa office which is sydney australia  . bkuper, you may correct me if i am wrong here.

I guess it doesn't really matter which Sydney, the main point that it's working pretty fast!

HI
I got my visa in exactly 6 months, even though i have taken more then 40 days to sent documents in between the process( august, September), so ideally it should be less than 5 months.
Cheers

Hi Ja77,
I was surprised that there are 2 Sydney cities in the world, so it was a bit confusing at first. So, yes my initial app went to Sydney Nova Scotia, but my closest procecssing office is Sydney Australia.

before the rules were changed last year and the new applicants were advised to send their applications initially to CIO, Sydney, i did not even know there is a "Sydney" in canada also  . maybe my lack of information. anyway, looks like your local visa office is processing fast. good luck.
