you are lucky bro , from last 7 days I am trying but not able to connect with them
Given that I'm still waiting for AOR and applied on April 3rd I don't feel so lucky :/

I kept trying all day until I got onto the wait list, it took a long time but this appears to be the fastest sequence - Select 1, then UCI#, 3, 4, 0.

Brother you’re not alone. As i said I been in the same situation more than 1 year ago. And I waited 11 months and than they just refused my citizenship application. Probably will be the same scenario in your case.
Finally I got my LPP and waiting for oath date now.
Just relax and wait and call/email them every week or two. :)
Another fastest option you can cancel your online application by yourself and resubmit it. But before this ask IRCC

Also, got really lucky and got a last-minute invitation for an in-person ceremony at a beautiful art gallery in the city, which was incredible.

So grateful for the quick processing times, and even more grateful for this fantastic community on CanadaVisa. What a wealth of information & support this place has been through the entire journey to citizenship.
Thank you to everyone who helps keep this forum running & wishing the absolute best of luck to everyone awaiting the end of their immigration journey as well! <3

How do you check for ghost updates?
When you login your tracker and see an update at the top with a recent date but none of your statuses have changed. Something like that would be a ghost update.

In PR process, it used to be that you get a email saying there are some changes in your application but when you login there is nothing, that's a ghost update.
Not everybody gets it, but those who do get it before a major status change

How did you prepare
Read the Discovery Canada guide once, then did several large (+400 questions) tests you can easily find in YouTube and read the Discovery Canada guide again.. that was more than enough to pass through the exam smoothly...
