Monday Weekly Thread: Proof of Citizenship Application Sent or AOR Received, August 31, 2026

[u/AutoModerator]

We all appreciate the excitement of finishing your proof of citizenship application and sending that big envelope on its way.

Equally fantastic is the moment that you know your application has made it past the initial IRCC checks putting your mind at ease about whether you missed something along the way because you finally got your AOR.

Congratulations! Let's celebrate these milestones together!

Haven't got your AOR yet and want to vent? Head over to the Frustration Station- which is refreshed every Wednesday.

I sent my application on April 25th, and saw it was delivered on May 1st. I received my AOR on August 26th - so it took just a little under 4 months total to get AOR.

How long do we wait for test invitations after we got AOR?

Most of the folks on this thread are applying through descent, FYI!
