Question: What does 'AOR' mean?

Answer: AOR is an acronym that stands for the term "Acknowledgment Of Receipt". An AOR indicates that the Canadian consulate, embassy, or high commission, has received your application for permanent residency and has issued a case file number for the application submitted. The length of time it takes for an individual to receive an AOR varies with the specific visa processing office the application was initially submitted to.
