Where did you receive your test invite from? Vancouver IRCC? Check the email ID...
If it is Vancouver, they take about 10 days sometimes more... There is one other person on the spreadsheet waiting since Mar 11

I’m in Vancouver and waiting since March 3.

My INCREDIBLY SLOW timeline so far:

Application Type : Family : 2 Adults and 2 Kids
Location: Vancouver
Physical Presence: 1150 days
Application Type: Paper

1. Application submitted: 8 Nov 2022
2. Application Delivered: 27 Nov 2022 (delayed by Canada Post Xpresspost)
3. Docs returned - missing second identification for kids- 26 Jan 2023
4. Application resent: 28 Jan 2023
5. Application delivered: 30 Jan 2023
6. AOR received: S T I L L W A I T I N G

Has anyone whose applications were delivered around Jan 30th still NOT received AOR ?

This is not slow. You are on track considering that made a mistake in your initial paper work. AOR takes about two months so you should get it soon.

@Raeisi were you able to call and find out when your BG and test were marked complete?

Our applications were submitted in November and returned in January as well. I sent back the complete set of applications (with missing ID for the kids) and this was received by IRCC on the 31 Jan. We received an AOR on the 13 March, and access to ECAS on 15 March, which shows that the applications were filed on the system on 7 March. Not sure of the reason for the delay with your applications.
