Has anyone here received AOR? How long are AORs taking? I’ve applied on August 31 from Pakistan

Atleast 5-6 weeks. Expect yours after 07 October

(Canadian Citizen husband with US PR self-deported back to Canada along with our dual-citizen son and dog. We've been married 14 years and lived together in the US the last 12. This is agony being apart...I don't know how the rest of you do it!)

You can enter as a visitor if you want.

Unfortunately not. Lots of complications including a home that needs sold, giant US medical debt in repayment which requires at least one of use to have a job and I'm the breadwinner.
This probably is a good suggestion for young people who can just sponge off mom and dad, etc. I'm the age where my adult children would want to sponge off me if they could lol.

Sept 2025 applicant here - nobody except myself on that forum yet. I have a question though - Where does the BIL and the MIL come? Does it come to the principal applicant's email, I assume? Or on the portal or something?

It comes to the principal applicant's GC Key account. Principal applicant will notified through an email when there a request for BIL/MIL is sent by IRCC. Then, PA needs to login to his/her GC key account and can download the BIL/MIL document.

Oh wonderful! Thanks so much for a detailed answer.

I received an email on Wednesday advising the application had been returned for being incomplete with no other information. The family information form is the only one that was Red, however, they gave no information what they wanted that they felt was not included. Form says not to list people who are already Canadian citizens or permanent residence so literally I was the only person that I could list. I have no information about my biological parents (I’m mid 40s).
I’m outland so there’s not a phone number to call. I submitted a web form but sounds like those take a long time for a response. Guess now I just sit.?

How do we know about completion of Sponsor eligibility? Do they update PAs GC key account?
