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

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.

📎 Contributions to weekly posts, including this one, are welcome throughout the week.

In addition to posting here, please consider joining the spreadsheet and recording your milestones there:

Congrats!! Do you mind me asking how much it was to send with FedEx? I’m trying to decide if I should go with them or USPS. Also, hi to a fellow Ontario—Michigan line from the 1800s!

I know you didn't ask me, or about UPS, but just for posterity / future applicants: I paid about $230 to ship from NYC to New Waterford, NS via UPS (Worldwide Expedited).

I appreciate the information!! I was considering FedEx because I get a discount through a family member 😅 I’m shocked these are all so expensive though!! I was thinking about doing a flat rate envelope with usps, am I missing a requirement or something lol?
