My AOR is February 7th, nothing after that
I called my MP office said they can’t do anything before the 25 months have passed
Called IRCC couple of times, they told me what I can see online which is no updates.
Applied 3 times for ATIP notes first one in June, second one in August, third one in October.
Last week received June and AUGUST ATIPs
Nothing started.
Compared my ATIP with other friends I found that for some IRCC requested only RCMP clearance subsequently their background verifications were fast
Fore some IRCC requested clearance from RCMP and CSIS , CSIS tend to be slow in their response as they have to verify with other countries and intelligence agencies , therefore background verification is extremely slow and that might be your case.
finally, I started to worry less and trust the process because everything is beyond my control and can’t do anything and waiting is my only choice.
My AOR is Feb7th as well, there was a tracker update on Feb8th and then on Oct7 (system update). Nothing at all since then. I've contacted the MPs office, they said theres no update on my file yet. Ive requested ATIP notes but I'm not holding out for much.

The main issue is that if I am correct yours is Mtl, same like me and a few others from the Nov application who has not received an update for 6 months or more. I am seeing plenty people in the November pool on this forum that that are getting decision made but from other province.
Mtl is officially the worst of the worst IRCC office in Canada.
Mine is also in MTL. Nothing after AOR ( Feb 7, 2022).

I reached out to my MP's office, and they said IRCC Montreal is very slow in general.

I should mention that according to the info my MP sent me, my file is in Sydney(Halifax). Despite applying/living in BC. Whats the deal with the Halifax office? Slow I assume..

I have received online oath ceremony email today. Scheduled for 16th November.

Vancouver office.
Congrats. We got our oath invites on the same day so I should hear about it shortly too. Unfortunately it seems like I might have to postpone mine if it is online

if you don't receive oath invitation email and you call IRCC usually they will say to wait till last week. It happened to me 2 times and 3rd time when i called the agent actually looked and told me that the email was sent on 23 Sept , then i searched junk and then deleted items , yes it goes from junk to deleted items in 10 days and after 30 days all emails get permanently deleted from deleted items. Luckily it was less than 30 days for me so i recovered the email. I am referring to outlook.com here .
