Hey guys,

I sent my application about 2 and a half weeks ago and I still have not heard anything back. I was under the impression that once they received it they would send me a letter in the mail. But I have not got anything back which makes me worried. Should I call them and ask them about it or can / should I not do that?

Thanks!

Hi,

They received my application almost a month ago on January 25 (It was delivered by courier and was signed for, so I know it is floating around somewhere in Mississauga). I have not heard anything either. I called the IRCC call centre today (twice) and both agents told me that even my receipt information has not been entered into the system. I am basically in limbo as they told me if the IO who has my application has not opened it and/or not entered it into the system, there is nothing they can do at the call centre. They also told me it's not unusual to take more than a month to get AOR1.

I don't know if there is some problem with my file and that is why it's taking a long time. For 2.5 weeks, I think it's still early. I read some other posts today saying that they were processing apps up to Jan 30 now. If yours was received after this, wait a few more days. You should hopefully hear something by the end of the week.

Hope you get an email this week!

Good luck! :)
 
If not by the end of this you ll hear something beginning of next week hopefully...aor1 been taking 4/6 to be received, if it gets because sometimed applications never gets it.
 
Update:

I sent my application on February 2 2017 and still have not gotten a response through email or mail. Should I be worried at all?

no.

to see when other february applicants start getting Acknowledgement of receipts, go to the thread specific for february. it can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 60 days.

it is also good practice to check the threads for the months before you applied to see how they are progressing. if you see dec/jan applicants getting notifications, that means february will see it soon.

CIC is weird and not consistent. You might get AOR, you might not.

I applied July 2015 and didn't get AOR until Feb 2016, while loads of others got it before me.
 
FYI,

Our application was received on Feb 3 and received AOR1 on Feb 23. Outland application mailed from Sweden. Account linked to my wife's account this morning...
 
Sorry my mistake, received AOR1 Feb 25
 
I applied June 2015, sent a letter with a courier and CIC signed the delivery. Then I received the acknowledgment only in Jan 2016
