I received AOR on August 1st but haven't heard anything further since then. Is anyone in the same situation as me? I see some people received their AOR after me but got their test invitation.

Depends on processing office. Seeing movements after 2 months of AOR is pretty normal. Things move fast after that.

i am worried that I haven’t received any update on my application. I submitted on July 18, 2024. The last update I received is my AOR on July 29. I tried to call IRCC but the line was cut off. Is this delay normal?

Citizenship test window updated Sept 13 for September 27 to October 26. Can I take the test before receiving the official invite?
You will receive the official invite few days before your test start date. If not, you can call IRCC before 6 days of your test start date if you didn't receive by then.

Do we need a guarantor for the passport application? Does he/she has to be Canadian citizen only?
Can someone please guide here. At what stage of the citizenship application would you need a guarantor. Also please confirm if they have to visit in person with you to sign at Service Ontario/service.

I personally don't know any Canadian citizen. So i was wondering whom to ask for signing it if required.

Appreciate it.
If you're applying for a Canadian passport, you need a guarantor. If you have a family doctor, you can ask them to be your guarantor otherwise you need to go to the nearest Service Canada and ask for a Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor form. You can't google and print it online, you need the printout from them.
I hope this helps.

Processing Center: Scarborough (got to know from test invite)
Applied: July 1
AOR: July 16
Test Window: Sept 13 to oct 12
Passed the test: September 15

Did anyone else struggle to take a clear picture of their ID during the test? It took me a long time to upload a non-blurry picture. How strict are they about it? And how long do they take to upload in the tracker?

It's been a consistent issue for a lot of people. I had the same problem, but my test got completed without any issue.

My spouse received an identity request email twice! The ID was sent the first time and after a week, another email was sent asking to send a photo ID to verify identity again. Make sure you always check your email. Test completion was just updated a couple of days ago.
