Another uneventful day for us, hopefully IRCC officers are working full speed to be able to send the first couple thousands AOR's in the next week. Some updates from IRCC agents and misc media (take it with a pinch of salt)
1- Rumors say IRCC will start sending AORs during the weekend, this came from a call centre agent. Could be false.
2- Web forms are not useful right now, webform answers say to wait until AOR
3- According to the application guide, it's highly likely pretty much anyone (minus people missing IELTS) get their AOR and a chance to rectify forms. It's at the officer's discretion.
4- Google spreadsheet has been partially locked because some people claimed to have approvals and AORs but failed to provide evidence, in fact, the usernames didn't even exist. Trolling or bluffing won't be tolerated, there's already enough misinformation so the new rule of thumb to prove an AOR is a screenshot where IRCC's new email address can be seen with applicant's details hidden/blurred.
5- Chatty lawyer made a livestream, he got some backlash from one of his videos but made a Q&A session and said he was expecting updates "shortly". IRCC might have a meeting soon, among other things to discuss the BOWP situation.
