It can still be returned. I've seen some applications linked to the online portal but still get returned if they find the application incomplete/ have insufficient information. Hopefully this doesn't happen! I have the same worry as mine was once returned before receiving the AOR.

3. Submit your new 2 photos cz validity will expire soon if you submitting sgsin.
4.write new cover letter explaning your whole current situation.
5. If the forma are of same version then print out again with current date and sign it again.
Its hardwork so please check once again everything.
Hey guys,
Curious if anyone has ever run in to the same issue as me.
Package sent July 10 and received July 11. I’d not heard anything at all and I was getting concerned because there are tons to people who submitted end of July who were getting their AOR.
I did a search using my UCI on the online tool and it found the application and the status is ‘In Progress’. I was able to create an account and link it using my UCI and some details from the application. When I linked it, I saw that I have an application number beginning with F and everything - but I never received an email or letter?
I’m wondering if either I’m not receiving the emails or if it just maybe hasn’t been sent yet. Seems odd that I didn’t receive AOR but I’m able to link the application and have an application number.

Have you looked in your spam folder? Sometimes they go there. Also, are you the principal applicant or the sponsor? Usually the first AOR email goes to the sponsor.

I did the same! submitted on 27th july...Waiting for AOR
Hopefully soon this week or next
The following link was really helpful when I was attempting to link mine.
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/how-to-link-an-application-to-cic-account-step-by-step-instruction.619724/
Do you have existing UCI from your current visa status? At first I tried with the UCI number that my partner (sponsor) has given, and couldn't link it for a day. But then I realized I wrote my UCI on the application (I have a PGWP), so I could link application with *my own UCI number*.
