Anyone knows why some people are getting AOR and others are not?
I have sent Citizenship application on Jul 31st and they received it on Aug 6, 2020(Via Canada post ) .
No AOR still and people who sent their file in August 3rd week are getting AOR.
Apparently something to do with their queuing and how agents work. This was seen early in the year also as processing moved forward. It looks like 50% for 3-4 months are processed and then they go back to complete the month. If you look at the tracker dates for AORs you will see that for Apr, May, Jun there is an early batch of AORs processed followed by a second batch which is generally 4-5 weeks after the first batch is processed. You will even see some September AORs processed this week. Likely you should get yours in the next 2-3 weeks but apparently this how they work.

Good answer. I believe they are trying to show that they are moving forward with reviews despite being backlogged!

I think there's some confusion going on... I just received this e-mail:
"You may not have heard from us in a little while. This is normal. Most of the progress on your application happens closer to your estimated completion date.

We send messages to your account if we need something from you. When we do that, we'll also send you an email to this address: xxx@xx.ca.

Learn more about what to expect while you're waiting for us to process your application."

The subject has the application Number, but that's it. This isn't really the regular AOR but could be confused with it, I suppose?

I did not see this in any of the forum. AoR is acknowledgement letter that comes as pdf form. Not sure whether cic changed something recently on their side. They are making lot of improvements to their system.

Hi ALL,

I got my AOR about 2 days ago.

I checked the On-Line Services just now, I realized that they entered the "your current home address" correctly (as same as the information I put on the application form). However, under the "your current mailing address", there is a discrepancy, because I indicated on the application form that both my home address and mailing address are the same. They put a different address that I did not mention in any part of the application document.

Kindly checking with you all:
1. Should I concern about this issue? If yes, what shall I do to fix it? Or I shall wait for few more days as I got AOR only 2 days ago?
2. Will they send anything to the wrong mailing address at this phase of my application? If yes, how should I request them to resend to me?

Cheers :)
