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.
