Yes will do. I plan to call them sometime end of next week to see what's going on.
Hi,
Just wanted to let you know, I was able to link my application today by Family name, Given Name and DOB. The status now says my application was approved yesterday and they have mailed my PR card. The PR portal still says submitted. Never received an AOR.

When did you submit your application, was it paper or online?
