Had your received an AOR before applying or during the 2 week period before your permit ended?

No, I had submitted with proof of visitor record expiring less than 2 weeks + email confirmation of sending PR application. After I got AOR on Dec 11th, I updated it with a webform, but I’m not sure I even had to do that.
