Hey,
Actually, we will have to wait for our AOR email. Once, we receive it then we will have to link our application again to a new gc key account. Most of the time, you will not receive any message at all because of some error. So, it's best to link it again after receiving the AOR. Those people who did not get any update for a long time in their TR to PR application should link it again to a new account. I also applied for a friend. He had the same situation. When i re-linked his application to a new account, he received a request letter right away which was issued by the IRCC 43 days ago with 60 days time to submit. It was a PCC request.
