Yeah its really frustating the way immigration system operates here.
I have requested detailed notes which are called gsm notes i guess to find out whats even happening on file.
Havent got anything after aor 1 on nov 20 until today.
Majority of september submitters have received SA, medical and biometric too
Did you get your notes. Information from my MP office is no different than what is there in ECAS.

Not yet , still waiting.
Ordered on feb 8 ,2022

Their call centre employees are no help.
I had one person mentioned that a letter was emailed to you when i called last week ,but i never got one .

Then i got a call from immigration today saying there is nothing required from my end. That letter request exchange was between 2 officers.

Managed to talk to my intended MP and her staff checked into my status. It's still "not in the system" whatever that means. I'm hoping it was just tied up in checking for completeness due to minor dependents who are NOT sponsored but needed their proofs of Canadian citizenship - those appplications just finished getting approved yesterday.

I got the same response that my application is still not in the system. Submitted on 16 September 2021. We are past 5 months now. Moreover, ours is a straightforward application.

Beyond 120+ days without AOR, eg 150 days after delivery - you are right to be concerned that it possibly has been returned as incomplete. If they can match file data, they should be able to tell you a temporary file number.

Unfortuantely this is still one of the most non-transparent parts of IRCC application system.

Is the IRCC call was a follow up to their call centre? I did not know IRCC calls to provide updates.

For online application its not a big deal, as it will show the status if returned. What does temporary aor signifies ?

There was someone who received AOR on 2021-02-18 as per the tracker. Are they on the forum?

How did they ensure IRCC opens their file and processes it?

Keep in mind, it's also possible that's a mistake. Quite possibly the 'confrimation' one gets when submitting online.

This happens quite regualrly, someone makes a mistake in the spreadsheet and people get excited thinking that person has found the magic key to get approved fast.

No. This person got Medical Request and other on 18th of February. So pretty sure this isn't a mistake.
