July 2026 - Citizenship Applications

[momocyl]

This could be the most closest possible explanation floating around AORs.

But, the IRCC website clearly states -

We’re now sending AOR letters or emails for paper and online applications received the week of September 23, 2026.

The definition of received is stated as -

We receive your application right after you submit it.

• You immediately get an email that confirms you’ve successfully submitted your application

No completely wrong. You submit and you get an automated email just like in paper format post delivers. Receipt is the date they open and file it.

This make sense.
That might be reason status changed to “import to gcms” or uploadedtogcmsstatus as “True”.

But at same time not sure why some from October applicants got AOR.

They are very very few applicants who get sooner than normal. One I know he had very straight file. He started to work just immediately landed....

I pasted everything above from official IRCC website. Blame IRCC not me . You interpretation might be different. Atleast by their website, it says received means submitted and the date September 29th is received = submit != opened
