Just curious….how does IRCC determine who attends in-person vs virtual ceremonies? Is it by indicating e-certificate or paper certificate?

I applied on Aug 16, but still no AOR. Is anyone same situation?
I am in the same boat, same day as yours. I called them this afternoon. All they said was "wait". He gave a very generic response that they are issuing AOR for apps from 13 August and before.

It’s purely up to them. Most ceremonies are still being done virtually. Your choice of certificate would not impact the type of ceremony you will be invited to. You can opt for paper certificate at virtual ceremony and vice versa.

I have noticed this as well. I’m not sure why they haven’t updated it this week. But hopefully we receive our AORs next week

Ya hoping for the same. I saw on one group on FB today morning that someone with 25th Aug application date got AOR
So assuming we can get early next week. But being the holiday week i am a little anxious

Amazing! Happy for you :)
Yeah, going by trends from the past 4-5 months, apparently there are a bunch of folks in every month whose applications are getting completed between 79 to 95 days. I hope you are one of those from the August batch ;)
I have a friend who has AOR Sept 7 and even for him, both BG and Test were updated same day- Sept 20.

I am AOR Sept 15, no update yet.
