Hello everyone, I just have question that - some people saying that we should attach our study permit and PGWP in optional documents - as some people's applications returned saying that IRCC cannot confirm /verify their time before PR.

Anybody got AOR without adding those documents. any insights will be helpful.

I submitted on 27 April without these docs as it was not mentioned in any checklist/docs that i have followed.

Yes, I submitted my application in February and they returned it in April asking to resubmit as they couldn't verify my time before PR. I had to resubmit the application again in April. Still waiting for AOR.

I have no idea why they asked for it. I can confirm that it was part of the application when i submitted it on April 5.
I just re-calculated it in the online application and then re-submitted it. I didn't put any additional info.

How did they contact you, phone or email? I have also submit on April 5, still no AOR.

I got my AOR yesterday (20th July). I applied on 12th April.

When I try to login to my tracker account (The one I used for my PR), It says the portal encountered an error. Is this normal?

Depends on what kind of error..

You're a little early to be able to create/check tracker account. Usually it seems to be 48hrs after receiving AOR that you're able to. Try again tomorrow.

Via email.
The email didn't say what information is missing, I had to login to the online application portal.

No, still no AOR.

I sent web form and got standard response: We are working on processing applications as quickly as possible. Even if you haven’t heard from us recently, we’re still processing your application. You don’t need to do anything else. If we need more information, we’ll contact you.

Rest assured that you will be informed as soon as a decision is reached or if additional information is needed.
