Did the update on ECAS say something more like.."We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s), and a study book called Discover Canada on XXXX"? If not, then that's probably why you didn't get their email yet. But at least it's a confirmation of some sort that they received your application

Line (2) was added today but no email yet

It is extremely extremely unlikely that your application is lost.

I replied to a similar post here:

"In Process Ecas" actually means that your status on ECAS changed to "In Process". I assume you meant that you're now able to access ECAS on Dec 29, and your status is "Application Received".

Added to the sheet. Can you also share your application type (single/family of how many), and # physical presence days ?

This is a generic email. I got two of this emails. If you are thinking of sending another application I would say try not to. You should wait 12 weeks before sending another one. My first application was 13th October and no news yet. I also sent 2nd application and a month has passed but no news. I have called and email to IRCC many many times !! what I learned was I should have wait 12 weeks before sending another one.

 

[zenith9]

Just an update. I still haven't received my AOR yet. Applied on Oct 11th - one of the first applicants and I still havent gotten it. I figure since mine was one of the first apps they probably threw it in the bottom of the container and all the others went on top of it. then they started opening them from the top. Such a shame that CIC operate this way. typical gov inefficiencies.

Then when I tried calling them the phone system is confusing as hell and just gave up. Looks like I wont have my AOR this year. Ecas is showing nothing either. ugh...

 

[Seen12]

I’m an Oct 17 applicant.. and I finally received AOR today at 2:56pm.. It been very frustrating but its better now than never.. im glad I didn’t submit a second application.
Good luck to the rest of you.. just wait, be patient and enjoy your holiday. You’ll get yours soon too.

Please update my info
