Guys Patience, Everything will fall in its place for each and everyone of us in due time. It's not like PR where we have to worry about expiring work permit or visa etc. We are all Permanent Residents and a little delay in getting AOR won't do us any harm since we all have applied under normal processing category.

Getting AOR is important as it shows our applications are complete but it does not guarantee faster processing. If you guys review the other months spreadsheet you will find out some applicants have gotten AOR before others but they didn't go to IP before others. Some got IP before other but other got Test invites sooner. There are many variables.

Let's remember us all in prayers and have patience because if we start worrying ourselves then the wait will be too long for us.

Cheers!
You are right but the amount of uncertainty and delay I had faced during processing my PR application makes me sensitive to any CIC movement.

This is ridiculous. They moved on to Oct 20th now, while Oct12th and 13th still wait.

@Marooned2 did you mail yours to the courier address or PO box ?

My friend did me a favor sending it on 16th since I was working that day. I just contacted him, actually we are not sure on 20th delivery date, the 20th was the estimate Canada post express gave him that day. However he sent both our applications on 16th noon via Canada post express and he has got no AOR confirmation yet. Funny thing was we both applied PR same time, but he got his PR within 8 months mine took 1 year and 5 months.

Not only you bro, i went from 16 months to 36 months... but freaking out and losing patience and having anxiety attacks will do nothing... everyone in here went theough the process of PR, so we should know better by now that immigration works their times... the official processing time for citizenship application is 12 months, receiving AOR between 30-45 day, so the fact that they are processing way before time should be irrelevant.
Grow up and learn patience, dont do any plans or moves for next 12 months, if after 12 months you see no movement on your file then freak out and call and everything...

People saying, its unfair and they trat this applocations like shit is close to insanity and ridiculous... grow uo people, seriously

That's why I think this is a random process and they may not even organize the applications in the order they are received, who knows the big mess they may have, hopefully they don't lose any application package ....

I am also waiting to receive AOR, my application was delivered on 13 of October. It s good that some of October applicants already got AOR. However, I see that in the main excel sheet currently CIC has given AORs till 29 of September, hence not lucky October applicants like me should wait few more days.

What date shows your AOR? "We received your application on..."
