I don't really know - there haven't been much updates here. I'm just really frustrated and sad that it's nearing on 100 days and I don't know what's going on or why they're not even opening the file.

It's just weird. I wonder if you submitted or there was some glitch. What exactly did the email say when they asked for payment?

Sometimes AOR comes as a Physical mail instead of email. Do keep an eye on mail.

My application was completely returned with the shortfall - so I resubmitted as a new application and included the email as a PDF as per their instructions when I reapplied.

I've emailed them twice with the webform now and the same response as I shared above... "working on processing as quickly as possible..." But, that's not what I'm even asking. The process time is irrelevant, I can be patient. The fact is that I'm almost at day 100 with no AOR. All over a few bucks that I could have easily sent if they requested.

Would the PR portal not changed from Submitted to something else? Would they not respond to my webform to tell me AOR has been sent by mail, here is your #?

You got a standard reply but yes you likely haven’t received AOR yet. Processing can be slower in the summer and IRCC may have reached their annual quota for family sponsorship or is very close so they may be slowing down processing on purpose.

Honestly, that doesn't make sense if June and July people are receiving AOR. Why would they skip applications? I feel like it's probably something to do with the agent - on medical leave or new trainee etc. Who knows, really.
