Congratulation Arries! So basically I can expect to receive AOR in 2-2.5 months after sending in application.

You also did paper application, right?

Really? how do you know online is quicker than paper now?

I read past messages, you can read through them as well, as per other people's experiences in the forum.

yes on paper,

Just when you apply, if paper, make sure you send it to the correct address, courrier vs. PO box, etc. Make sure its registered as well. I sent via fedex, registered and there is no sign of the application and its been almost 3 months. So in retrospect, while not an advice for others, I would have opted to do it online, so at least there is a clearer record.

Please do not scare me. Three months without updates? When did you submit your application?

Not to scare you, what happened to me, may not happen to someone else. I sent it around the first week of march.

That is not too bad, I submitted mine around late March 20th. Not a single update so far either.

My paper application was delivered in the first week of March. I still hear crickets only. I called IRCC on May 15th and they said they’re processing applications from the week of Feb 13th. And that there is no difference between a paper and online application.

But I know from an acquaintance’s family who applied for PR renewal online in the first week of Feb and they received their cards in the first week of April. I mentioned the same to the IRCC agent and he just ignored my question and said it will take some time to get to my application as it was delivered in the first week of March.

It is good anyway to know that they are now working on applications around Feb 10
