PR Card renewal applied: Aug 26, 2025
No any updates as yet, no AOR yet. Online status still shows submitted.

Anyone applied from Halifax? any ideas on timelines?
 
Hi all,

Some people have mentioned about "AOR" here. Does it mean "Acknowledgement of Receipt"? And, how do we get it? Through email? Reason I am asking is because there was no mention of any such thing like "AOR" in the official application guide on their website.

All I have to check the status is the "PR card portal" where it is still showing as "Submitted" (My submission date was Aug 28).

Also, some people have mentioned about "linking the application". Again, there was no mention of any such thing like "linking" in the official application guide on their website.

Can anyone tell me what this "linking" is, as in, what are we trying to link and is it mandatory?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

1. Yes, AOR means acknowledgment of receipt.
2. You will receive to your email. Note: I did not receive AOR and noticed that 50% of the applicants are not getting it. That doesn't mean your application was not submitted. It means IRCC's systems are bad.
3. We can link the application only after our application has been started reviewing by an officer. Until then you wont be able to link it. It will be in 'ready for review' state. Note: My application was approved on Sep 15 but still i cannot link my application. So dont waste time on it.
4. It is taking 30 days approximately and you are just 20 days from the application date. Just wait for 15 more days and call IRCC(dont rely on the status in ircc portal it is useless).
