A few questions. I sent in my app on August 1 and I know it's early.

But,

1. How does the AOR arrive? By email or regular mail?

2. How do you check your eCAS with PR number/client ID? xxxx-xxxx or xxxxxxxx?

Thanks

1. Regular mail - seems to average around a month or so after eCas becomes active.

2. It should work with either. I use the hyphen in mine, but I know others who do not.
 
Just because I was struggling with it at first:

The number on the back of the PR-Card is the PR number (xxxxxxxx) and didn't work in my case. I now use the Client-ID on the front (xxxx-xxxx) with the hyphen and it works fine.

Yes, it seems both numbers do not always work for everyone, for whatever reason. :-X
