Your application may be returned. Hopefully not, but high probability.

I did the same thing when renewed my PR card (forgot to write my name on my photos). they didn't return the application and it was processed normally.

It has been over a week since they have received my application and no AOR yet.

How long is it gonna take to get the AOR?

And why does it take for so long for them to give a file number and start a process?

Is UPS Express faster than Canada Post Priority ?

As you can see on the Citizenship Applications Spreadsheet, you're not alone. Don't worry, it just takes some time (by the way, not exactly the same amount of time to everybody - it varies a lot) and nobody here knows exactly why

Thank you for your help.

You can go to UPS website, select "Calculate Time and Cost" option and put the origin and destination postal codes to calculate the time to delivery from your postal code. I think UPS Express is faster than Fedex to Sydney NS. I'm not sure about Canada Post Priority. I have used UPS Express from Winnipeg to Sydney and my application was delivered today.

Thanks for the info. I think also it depends the distance from your location to Sydney. I live in Edmonton, Alberta. It is quite far even to the fastest courier. Do you live in a province near to Nova Scotia?
Thanks again for the info
