Sponsorship application received in Sydney, CA on 28.05.20.

Still no AOR. 4 months now, unprecedented?

Does anyone know the method of how they inform you? I presume you get an email, and they don't just quietly update your cic.gc.ca page. That would be bad.

Do I need to activate something with the email? I just tried signing with my CGKey on cic.gc.ca and no luck. I'm sure I saved the login and password correctly (the username is my email)

Also are the processing times still the same even after AOR or will they speed it up to clear the backlog and get everyone processed within the 12 month time frame?

Application linking can be done even before one gets AOR 1 but sometimes not always.

Your AOR1 will be in around 30 weeks from now roughly...unprecendented for sure, as long as the Covid threat is with us, this is how its gonna be.

This is the link where one can try to link even be4 AOR1 with receipt no + more personal infos:-

https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/introduction.do?app=null
tried this, no joy. it says maybe it doesn't work because "This service is only available to clients with applications in process. "

so I presume the AOR includes a link that lets me follow my appli online, but not before then, i was only confused because I have a separate GCkey for my older ETA and WHV applications, but we're made a new one for the spousal appli under my wife's name

30 weeks + 12 months on top of that?
YES my friend if the speed goes like this say 2 files in 5 months !! It could be total of anywhere from 1.5 years to 2 years for all of us from the receipt of app in Sydney NS , however if the pick up speed things can change dramatically :)
