I think you should give it some time still, maybe until first week of March? Because 45-60 days wait between Application Received and AOR1 is only an average. Some people get it a tad faster, some take longer. Could be your Immigration Officer has a slightly bigger backlog, could be they're still reviewing some stuff, could be a bunch of things. The spreadsheets we all join are just to see an average and to track a rough estimate of when things will/should be happening.

I'm sure you'll get yours soon enough I've still got another month as I'm a Jan 17th applicant

Hello, my wife's application for permanent residence was received on Dec 28, 2018. We have not received AOR yet but her Ecas account is now active which shows status IN PROCESS and when clicked it says we received your application for PR on Dec 28, 2018. There is no mention of sponsor approval or anything else....is this normal? neither me, my wife or our lawyer got any email of AOR...any help is appreciated

Don't worry about it -- the website often updates before you receive the actual email. You will probably get AOR1 within a day or so -- congrats!

Hello Everyone - Congratulations to all, who have received AORs and MRs. We just received our MR yesterday. Glad that things are moving along.

I‘m just curious, I still haven’t gotten SA but we did get requested to send a new passport. Could it be that they’re waiting on that to continue processing the application or am I just being paranoid?

After medicals it can be either transferred to local VO or if the application is straightforward then it will be done within Canada at CIC ,Mississauga . This trend started post September AOR 1 of not sending all files to local VO of principal applicant

Oh!!! that is interesting. Wonder what constitutes as "straight forward" is the VO's mind.

So I'm aware that some (lucky lucky) outland applications get sent to Mississauga, but I wonder where you get the specific information that it is based on whether the application is straightforward or not? I always assumed it was based more on how backlogged the local VO was (or perhaps even just totally random), but having said that, I have noticed that a disproportionate number of American apps seem to be sent there...

[Edit: changed "NDVO" to "local VO" to avoid confusion!]
