AOR can feel like a major milestone, but applicants may not know what it changes and what it does not. Depending on the situation, AOR may matter for tracking, communication, linked accounts, work permit planning, or simply confirming that the application passed an initial completeness stage. Specific questions worth discussing: What should applicants do after receiving AOR? How should they track biometrics, medical, background, eligibility, and document requests? When does AOR matter for a spouse’s open work permit discussion? What timeline details are useful to share without posting application numbers? If replying with a similar situation, include the province or city, current status, key dates, program, job, family, housing, or healthcare details when relevant, and the official source or institution page being checked. Please do not post private documents, UCI numbers, passport details, bank account information, medical records, employer names, or full addresses. For reference value, try to separate confirmed facts from assumptions and mention when the answer may depend on timing, province, document wording, or the person’s exact status. This is a community discussion starter, not legal advice. Please check official requirements or speak with a qualified professional when needed.
