My application was received at the Sydney office on September 10th. According to what I'm reading here it seeks to be taking 6 to 8 weeks to receive AOR. Hope my app isn't sent back

Heard anything yet? Sydney seems to be all over the place at the moment. A lot of June people still waiting for their AORs :(
IRCC doesn't really process all the applications in a linear fashion. It really depends on how straightforward your application package is.

I know some end of June applicants that are still waiting while there are already mid-July applicants that received theirs. IRCC agents are reporting that they're currently working on applications until July 17th.

So while they say that they are working on Jul 17th, in reality they might have moved on to applications received later than 17th.... ?

I thought they lay all mail in a big lineup. And were processing those as per the DATE stamps on those? Or may be all picked up as per dates but process times on each desk varies..

Process time on desk varies. Not every officer operates at the same level of efficiency or workload.

And that's what I was thinking why some go ahead , others are waiting! So its matter of a luck or by chance who opens or get assigned to your package.

Correct. When I applied I got AOR in 10 days. It really varies.
Thanks..Gone are the times when sponsor would write a simple 1 page letter, how and where you guys met, with no proofs nothing and they gave visa to go and marry in Canada within 90 days.

Our application was received on July 23, and we were just able to connect to GCKey and ECAS today. No AOR still, however. ECAS is indicating that they started processing our app today, October 2.
