I can’t remember if I handwritten signed it ! I am also going to upload a signed form just in case ... please keep me posted if you hear back ! (I am June applicant)
I'm not sure if it's normal or not but they haven't started processing inland April applications yet.
They are currently working on March 23rd/24th.
I suspect another few weeks before they hit April.
People have been reportedly able to link their apps and one or two ppl have received their REAL AOR. Plus people are getting their applications returned from late April as well.
Out of interest where have you seen about April applicants getting AOR, or getting their applications sent back?
For example, I saw this message today on the WhatsApp group for July 2020 applicants. I don't know from which Facebook group it was originally taken, though.
Thanks, I was able to find that post in one of the facebook pages I'm part of.

I'm an April 2nd inland applicant and I personally have not heard anything back. Through the spreadsheet linked below, i am understanding that IRCC is still working on late-March applications.
I saw quite a few people from the Inland March 2020 thread that had their applications sent back due to missing signature(s). I'm really terrified the same will happen to me...

Someone on a recently posted thread said they applied inland early April and got their application returned back last week. Interesting.
