According to other threads in this forum:
Some applicants who :
- had a representative when they got PR some years ago; and then
- now submitted their citizenship application themselves;
IRCC sent AOR of chitizenship application to their formar representative's email for some reason or another.
If you had a representative or alternate email you used before upon contacting IRCC, try to see them...

When you call IRCC, they took down all the info about your application and ask the office for an update? If so, I think your call was worth because it may discover whether your application was received successfully or something went wrong upon transmission. Fingers crossed for your AOR.
Husband was the representative. No one got any email from ircc at all. Only the submission confirmation email. They did note down all the info and said will pass over to the office. But who knows if they will.

Same here. I called them and they said my application isn't in the system even though I got a submission confirmation email + portal confirmation. I think my online application got lost in their system and I'll have to reapply. Lol incompetent IRCC as usual.

Were they at least able to find your application and did they at least give you a temp application number?
They didn't say anything about application number. Will try calling again and ask

Applied online Feb 16 but still no AOR. Is this normal? What should I do? Thank you all
I'd suggest that you call IRCC and get their confirmation whether or not they find your application in their system, like @menaka_p and @tanjid12
If IRCC say they will escalate it to a relevant office, get a case number/temporary application number.

Here's a quot from menaka_p's comment:

@vnexpress @tanjid12 Quick update - My application from Feb 20th was returned today because they're saying they can't verify my physical presence before I became a PR. I will attach all relevant documents and resubmit it. If you're also using temporary resident days and were on maintained status they might send you a similar email, so better prepare your LOE and relevant docs in advance.

Glad somebody at least looked at it. Hope you get your AORs soon. I also sent a webform to nudge them. Maybe that worked.

I guess it's time for me to track the March, 2025 thread now. Good luck to everyone here.

Thanks for the update. I might have used 30 days of my visitor visa duration. They should have already emailed by now. It has been a very long time for me, they might have just lost the application. I will try calling them again today and maybe Tuesday for a case/temporary application number. If they cant find it I will just have to apply again.
