I am a bit confused about AOR and IA terms.
I have received AOR dated Jan08, 2007.
AOR said that " we cannot respond to requests for your status until it has been assessed."
I checked e-CAS on internet 3 days later, and my application was there: status "in process" from Jan08,2007
Is that mean IA is Jan08,2007??
Thank you in advance for your consideration.

AOR means Acknowledgement Of Receipt i.e. your documents has reached with your respective CIC post. It means at an appropriate time ( based upon applications reached with them prior to your will be processed ) your file will be reviewed for IA . IA means Initial Assessment, means at appropriate time they will actually start processing and varification of your submitted documents ( if anything is missing will be advised thereupon). At some CIC posts the time line between AOR and IA is 60 months and some just 12-15 months . After IA, again anothe 5-12 months for Confirmation of PR. So , at which CIC post did you apply ( Buffalo, London, New Delhi, Manila etc.) ? With "Track It" main page you can judge when approximately your file will be revied for IA.

Thank you for your explanation.
I applied through Buffalo from USA.
I REALY hope it won't take so long. I am separated from my only son 6 years now, because of US Immigration and I can't wait to reunite with my son.
Somehow I am aware that is totaly unpredictible the processing time frame between AOR and IA.....
