AOR emails generally go out the day after the AOR is processed, so you the window of emails is generally Tuesday to Saturday.

From the 2015 spreadsheet, the average wait for AOR is 44 days, so May 25 means July 8 on average. Looking just at May, it's been 28 to 36 days. However, there tends to be a bulge whenever there is a public holiday involved (Victoria Day on May 18), so there will be a few less applications just before the long weekend, and a spike in the days following. Thus, it gives the impression of "going faster" leading into the holiday and "going slower" following the holiday, but really just is a result of the natural distribution of applications by date.

In summary, if you keep your expectations low, you get surprised when it comes "early". :D
Hehe. That was quite an interesting analysis! Well, i guess i will just be patient till 8 july, before starting to panic :eek:

No, but there is still some of Friday left. Otherwise it is a weekend of wondering if AOR arrives on Monday.
Nothing yet for me too.. Lets pray we hear from them this Monday.. Or else, as mapleson said we could probably have to wait till 8 July!

Got the AOR today! [Insert Skype dancing emoticon here]. So Mapelson was right that CIC sends out emails about AOR on Saturdays. :)

Yep.
Usually the email is triggered for the next day.
That's why mondays are usually a day with no good news. ^^

I don't know what the period between AOR and SA is right now, but I think none of the May applicants received their SA yet. I hope we will start getting our SA this week :) I'm expecting mine around the 12th of July ;) We will see if I'm right.

The Client Application Status, or eCAS, won't work for probably around 3 days or so after you get the AOR. And the AOR has information you need, mainly the UCI number if you do not already have it, to make it work. So just wait for your email which as you said might be sent directly to your agency. And just because CPC received your application on the same day as mine does not mean that they got around to yours yet but you should be more optimistic about getting it this week than next week. Mine came in the afternoon so don't give up hope each day if it didn't arrive in the morning on your first email check. Relax and keep checking.
