All - i just called the NSNP office and enquired on the current status. The Lady mentioned that with the amount of applications they have received, they are anticipating that the AOR will take around 8 months as of today.

My brother is a 25 Feb applicant and i was asking her if there is a way to know the cap status like how many nominations have been issued so far, she mentioned that they don't have access to that information.

For this date, she said that the assessment wouldn't have started.

Atleast 1.5 months more to go on a minimum to hear something from them.

Thought will share it with you all.

Thank you for update
Here in forum a friend with Feb 18 app got AOR. It seems strange that getting AOR takes 8 months from today because processing of about 100 remained cap doesn't take 8 months(based on trend of processing in NSOI till now) . whats your idea?

Thank you so much for information, I understand this like
If you are 25 th applicant then AOR date is 25th February + 8 months.
But today 18ths Feb received AOR so it's less then 8 months.
Anyways I'm so glad that people continue to receive AOR after such long silence
Good luck

Congrats MASF and shagdash! ;D

To Hope 2015:

Maybe they have a large amount of applicants for February. If you are going to look at the spreadsheet for the first week -2nd week of January they receive their AOR with in a month or 3. For the 3rd week of January to the last week of January, we receive our AOR 6-8 months from the date we sent our application. I conclude that the later you pass the the application the longer you wait for the AOR. However I have feeling that February to March have a huge chance of getting in in the cap but that is just my opinion.

Wish you all the best!

Congrats to all who have received AoR. How is it that a February 18th applicant has received AoR before 10th February applicant? Strange. Are they picking on NOCs now?

Hello, you have to download the guide for how to apply from their website, read all details and then you will be able to calculate your points.. if you score minimum of 67 then you MIGHT be eligible .. But keep in mind that we are in Sept and only applicants of Feb were contacted which means they have huge number of files to process.. however it's still good to send if you have a good score, good luck!

Thanks for your kind information.

I have just filled up all required forms. Now I have some queries in following points. If you will guide me than it will great help to me.

1. passport-sized colour photograph (taken and datestampedwithin six months of application). So it should be taken recently and date stamped on photo or not ?

2. Is there any specific format for ( Section I – Settlement )? What should be covered in this ?

Thanks

I think you have it right Sunny. When I sent in my express entry number and job validation code per the instructions in the AOR email I reveived an automated response see below:

Hello, to be honest I don't remembe the exact instructions for the photos .. but if it says so then Yes it has to be new ones.. and as I recall name of each should be written on them.

Settlement plan, you need to explain to them that u have clear plan of settling in NS and briefly mention the steps you will follow (this is what I wrote & not sure if it worked out for me yet!)

Good luck

Hi guys

I'm about to submit my application under NS: Demand EE. Going by the posts of others, it seems that it will take 7-8 months to get the AOR.

I'm just wondering -

If one receives an AOR, does it mean that 100% he/she will get the nomination? Or everyone receives an AOR... irrespective of they get the nomination in future or not?
How does it exactly work?

Kindly clarify.

Hi Mehtab007, from what we can read in the Spread sheet it's not guaranteed 100%, you can check it yourself that many who have received AOR were not nominated.. as far as I understand AOR means well receipt of ur application in terms of completeness where it has to go through further eligibility check and so then final decision..

Guys correct me If I'm wrong..

Rgrds..

Frankly speaking, i sense the person who passed on the information to me would have been instructed to give a time frame of 8 months so that we don't call her often. If we are able to get the AOR prior to 8 months, good for us too as we have set our expectations for 8 months.. Just a mind game they seem to play !

Its kinda strange.. because today we got a message from 18 Feb applicant stating that he received AOR on 07 Sep which is almost 5 days back.. Wondering then what happened to applicants between 10 Feb to 18 Feb ! Cant predict NSNP officers.. Its their call. All we have to do is keep hoping and have positivity develop around us..
