Delivered Feb 10th no AOR still. Submitted webform 2days ago. Same response as phone call. Reply I received they still stating applications received in Jan 2020 are in progress. This is very frustrating. How is it possible even June applications receiving AOR's when they still working on Jan applications. Making us fools and increasing our frustration levels.

How long did it take to get a reply for the web form?

Submitted sep 30th reply came on oct 1st. Below is the message I received
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

However, rest assured that this situation is normal since the responsible office is currently processing applications received before January 14, 2020.

Those of Feb applicants have not received AOR, in my experience it is not specific issue for your applications. IRCC has their instructions and timelines for processing, they are issuing AOR for all applications after that they will start processing applications by line and month to month. If you notice first Feb applicant received the AOR in July 28th but no In Process for Feb applications ( only 2 of them).

Dont delay any further, resend the whole package
You mean redoing the physical presence calculator, retaking the photos, etc. as the previous ones are over 7 months old? That'd be wasting more money than we already spent, wouldn't it? As it is, about 40% of February/March/April applicants don't have AOR (based on the sample here in this forum's tracker). That'd be thousands of applicants each month. If all of them resent their applications, wouldn't there be a mighty confusion on IRCC's part which may delay things even further?

Long-time lurker, figured I'd post to try and reasure those waiting for AORs from February that there are more of us out here :)

Application type: Single
Location: Montreal
Physical presence: 1135
Application sent: February 12
Application delivered: February 14

Like many, I've changed address since sending. I contacted them via the web form at the end of June to notify them of the address change, but got a generic response saying 'Since the application has not been entered in our system yet, we invite you to resubmit this information once the processing of the application starts.'
AOR (finally) received today (October 5, 4:45pm ET).
