I need help! My application was unfortunately returned saying they were unable to confirm my presence prior to the pr date. What happened is that I had a work permit and when I applied for a work permit extension my old work permit expired before it getting processed and by the time they denied the extension I received confirmation for pr. The agent is suggesting I create a new application but that’s crazy as I do have the physical presence. I don’t know where to find any information on how to prove them that I was in the country during that time or what number to call to clarify this miss understanding. Any info is much appreciated.
I have a similar situation than yours. However, I stopped working and applied for a visitor visa as they denied my work permit renewable. When I was filling the papers for my Citizenship, I called CIC and they said that for that period of time I could write that i was in "implied status". I gave explanation with my application about this. I used the three months as implied status and almost a month as visitor visa before they gave me the PR... However, as of today, almost 3 months after, I haven't get my AOR yet. So hope they don't return the package because I filled the period as they suggested me to do. I also stated that in my application.

Very normal. Its too early to conact CIC. Be patient your application will progress soon. Note that a couple of people who sent their application in the first week don't even have AOR yet so you are one of the fortunate ones. Follow this link to see those still waiting:

Hi Everyone. Here is my info:

ID: krispherson
Location:Toronto
App. Type: Single
Physical Presence Days:1133
App. Sent: Aug 11, 2018
App. Received: Canada Post Xpresspost tracking status "in transit" since August 14 - Has not updated since. Called Canada post to find out what happened back in August, it was escalated to a Supervisor when i called, Supervisor told me that because the place in Nova Scotia is a high volume receiver, packages are not signed for upon receipt so the status is not updated. "shrug" It is thought to be delivered on August 14th.
AOR - Waiting

Called CIC this week, nothing on file for me yet. Nothing on ECAS for me yet. Nothing in the mail.

Anyone with this experience for Canada post? Everyone seems to have a received date.
